Photoshop Art

     This week the tutorial I chose was one in which artistic overlaying  and a couple other techniques in order to create a new, pretty cool image. The tutorial was immensely helpful for me because it showed me the many things you can do in photoshop with simply masking and layering.

     First of all, I chose the images I wanted to overlay together. I chose a really dark sky, a nebula, a raven, and eventually a moon because my attempt at making one failed.

     I cut out the nebula and put it over the sky and soon resized it and made it much less opaque. (seen below)

Then, I drew a circle and began playing with the many mask functions that are in photoshop including beveling, color overlay, and outer glow.

 

      After creating a really crappy moon, I cut out the raven and overlaid it on the image.

      And then I used a sort of satiny filter to make it a bit darker without losing subtle features.

     Finally, I cropped the image and rearranged the components a bit. Oh and I replaced the moon.

     It didn't turn out looking so great, but I got the gist of the mechanics involved in making it so it was overall a helpful (yet lengthy) experience!
