Finished the box cover assignment. I was not sure what to put on it but in the end I stitched something together. I drew the deer and downloaded some other stuff. Learned how to do glitch effects in Photoshop from this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ibreg9T168
On top of that I wanted to try out one of the fancy book templates that are available online. Link for the one I used : https://www.freepik.com/free-psd/realistic-book-cover-presentation_1016369.htm#query=book%20mockup&position=7&from_view=search&track=ais
I also drew a character that I ended up not using.
I learned the process I used from this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUc6mC2f1xA
Here is the process for this portrait :
I like this way of painting because you don´t have to worry about the colors in the beginning just the values. I also used blending modes that allow you to change hue to make some parts that I missed with the lasso more blue-ish. Before merging everything together I always make copy of the layers so in case I mess up somewhere I don´t lose everything. I hope this helped.
Interesting! I'll watch the video a bit later, so it's a kind of like gradiant shading but using color balance instead.
I loved using gradiant shading when the lesson came up, but in general I go back to just stacking colors and applying some opacity and blending when it comes to coloring.
This looks really smooth though, I'd like to at least try it out. Thanks!
