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!

Modify Textures on 3D Objects

If you have imported a 3D object that has a texture applied to it, that texture will show up as a sublayer with your 3D layer. To modify or replace the existing texture, simply double-click directly on the texture name in the Layers panel. A dialog will open with the 2D texture. Make whatever changes you need, then close and save the document. Just like a Smart Object, it will update automatically in the main document.
