It took a lot of manipulating to get this image post-processed, but I really like the final results. Love how this beautiful Iguana looks up close – he lives at the Palm Beach Zoo in Florida and I think it may be a juvenile since it was so colorful. Overall, this was just major fun to do!….Digital Lady Syd Major Cool! Viveza was used to fine tune the final image. By adding a layer style to the PNG texture 01 layer and in Layer Styles selecting the Gradient Overlay, all these colors would be added (not sure which gradient, but it had a lot of horizontal gradient colors in it). It has PNGs, JPGs, ABRs PS brushes, and Vector AI files with the 48 textures in each file format. The splatter effect is a PNG overlay file that was downloaded from Creative Market in a set called 48 Subtle Grunge Textures Vector by Anastasia Autumn. To select the colors, a color palette layer was created by following Kyle’s video called Illustration Masterclass: Choosing the Right Colors for Your Digital Illustrations which is very helpful when trying to get colors that blend nicely. I actually changed the Pellets-Alt brush to a Spacing of 98 and a smaller size of 45 pixels to get a really nice texture effect when the stylus is pressed lightly and really smooth when pressed hard. This image mainly used his Woodchuck Joey, Pellets and Old Blue brushes with a few other ones thrown in. Webster: Check Out the Spring 2022 Brush Set! video. If you want to see how each works, watch his Brush Hour with Kyle T. There appear to be 37 brushes in this set. This video used many of his newly released Spring 2022 brushes, which can be found in PS by clicking on the Hamburger icon in the top right corner of the Brushes Panel and clicking “Get More Brushes” – if you have any recent version of PS and are on a monthly plan, it will be listed at the top of the page, after logging if needed. Webster’s YouTube called Illustration Masterclass: Draw Stylized Portraits with Custom Brushes to paint the lioness. (See my recent Fun Photoshop A Little Aaron Blaise Digital Drawing Practice blog for more info on this.) I used one of Aaron’s resource images – it is not an exact representation but I felt he should get credit for the original drawing idea. The drawing is one I did following Aaron Blaise’s Digital Painting for Photoshop – Getting Started-Sketching in Photoshop video. Just a short blog – I thought I would show you the results using this drawing I created of a lioness turned into a painted image using Kyle T. I have a couple other images like this one for a set……Digital Lady Syd PS Camera Raw Filter was used to create a slight vignette effect. A Color Lookup Adjustment Layer was added using On1’s Urban Explorer preset and set to 83%. Some of the texture was masked out using Kyle’s Megapack Drawing Box-Shady Graphite Fat Dry brush – really nice for when you want a little grain. Three textures were added: Kim Klassen’s Pinitonly and Stay textures (not sure these are still available), and 2 Lil’ Owls Workbook texture from forever ago. Then Viveza was used for adjusting everything. Sam Peterson Shadows and Highlights layers were used first to even out the lighting (See My Fun Photoshop Blog A Few Photoshop and Lightroom Tips and Tricks, Tip 2 for info on how to do this). Topaz Sharpen set to Out of Focus was used to really sharpen him up. Of course, he was not exactly a pirate – I added the hat, hook and map from PixelSquid to make him look authentic. They have some wonderful displays if you look around. Am I the only one who photographs mannequins – yep this guy was in the gift shop at Universal Studios-Orlando.
