Lesson100

Brushes, we will need to perform the lesson can be downloaded here-http://www.photoshop-garden.com/images/tutorials/dark_art/dark_art_brushes.rar

To complete this tutorial, we will need these pictures here:

1. A layer of "The Castle": With the Lasso Tool or Eraser remove the background, then press Ctrl + U, set to open the Hue / Saturation and set the sliders as shown below:

That's what we should be able to:

2. Now remove the white background on the layer with the girl (using magic wand, for example):

Put a layer of "Girl" layer on top of the "Castle":

3. Put a layer of "Sky" layer under the "Castle".

4.When using brushes add a flock of birds:

5. Now make your hair longer than girls. This will make it look like a black angel , use the brush set that we downloads, first lesson.

6. The final step, using the elliptical marquee tool cut out the moon. Using the eraser tool with a transparency of 20% (soft brush), erase a small piece inside the moon, to connect it with the sky.

Lesson99-The layered text

1. As always , if you create a text effect , open a new document. Size is not particularly important, the main thing that the text was not big enough .
Thus, the tool TYPE tool write the text .
Duplicate the text layer to get the two text layers.


2 . We work on the top text layer. We go to the menu Layer-> Layer Style and apply :









We see that we are on the top layer , go to the menu Layer-> Rasterize-> Type ( rasterize the text).
After that, the text of this layer will not be available for editing.

3 . Hide the top layer ( click on the eye icon ) .


4 . Apply the following layer to the underlying layer styles (Layer-> Layer Style):








5 . Making the visible top layer , select it


6. Get out the Eraser tool ( eraser ) , a hard brush and partially erase the upper layer of the text , identifying the bottom layer .


You can give yourself a dream . Using different brushes , changing their hardness, can be anything you want!

Here 's the result :

Lesson#98-Amulet

1. The new document 300x300.

2. With the polygonal lasso tool create a shape like below.

3. Fill the selection with black.


4. Inside the form of a selection, a smaller one and delete the selected pixels.


5. Filter> Distort> Twirl. Playing with nachtroykami until we get the desired result.

6. Copy the layer.

7. Edit> Transform> Flip Horizontal. Align layers to be located approximately as in the screenshot. Ctrl + E.


8. Repeat steps 6 and 7, using the flip vertical.


9. Repeat steps 6 and 7, using the rotate 90 CW or CWW.

10. Copy the layer. Select the bottom. Filter> Blur> Gaussian blur with a force 4-5.
