Winner of the June 24th, 2009 Contest: Photo to Drawing

 

I used a combination of layer masks, smart blur, color range and gradients that I learned from Corey Barker’s tutorial, Photo to Drawing, to create my own original piece. I experimented with a few layers of color and gradients as well as with the aid of the pen tool, to create the design shapes in the picture.

    I am extremely happy!! Right now I am at a loss of words. I had a great deal of fun working on this picture. When I saw the picture, I said “Mirrors Edge” and I was drawn to it and the creativity really flowed from there. These tutorials helped to expand my creativity and knowledge of the different tools in Photoshop. I can’t wait to enjoy the prizes and congratulations to the other winners!

Viewing and Basking in your Image

When I’m done working with an image, I like to sit and admire it (hey, I spent six hours working on it, I should). To do that, I hit the Tab key, then hit the F key three times. This hides all of the panels and toolbars and lets you see the image by itself surrounded by black. To get back to regular mode, press the F key and the Tab key one more time.
