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!

Document Your Happy Accidents

Sometimes our best creations happen by pure experimentation and accident. Sitting in front of a Photoshop file, you are 40 History States in, and then it happens…magic! You really want to be able to get back to that moment. To do so, make sure that you turn on the History Log checkbox in the General Preferences (Photoshop>Preferences>General [PC: Edit>Preferences>General]). You can save the information as metadata, as a separate text file, or both!
