Photoshop tutorial 005.

PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL 005
Create a Zombie.

I have a quite big list of requests now, so let's start with those, and let's make a Zombie, but not a pretty girly-like zombie - we will make a horrific, gore and bloody meat eater. I chose an image of Angelina Jolie, but you can pick whomever you want. To create such an image, I used quite a lot of stock: overlays and wounds. You can always create your own wounds, but the easiest way is to use stock images. I will share the ones I used, no worries. I also used brushes for blood, however I do not recall the exact place where I got them from, but I will try to find them and post a link to them.

Let's start, shall we? Open your image in PhotoShop and create a double layer of the original. At first, we will need to make the skin look somewhat greenish slash desaturated, because the model should look dead, so using the second layer we just created, open Color Balance: Image -> Adjustments -> Color Balance, and play around in there, to make look the skin somewhat green (not too green, we are not creating an alien). After which, go into Hue/Saturation (it's just above Color Balance) and move the Saturation line slightly to the left, just enough for the skin to look pale and give away the sensation of the person to be dead, because the skin turns grey after death, but the one of Zombies has that greenish contrast, that we desire to reproduce. Once you have what you wanted, select the Eraser Tool and erase everything but the skin (in the end, only the skin must remain). Since we have our original layer beneath, it's like we only changed the colour of the skin (be sure to erase the hair also). That's what I got after that step:

Now, let's take care of the eyes. As you know, Zombies have empty soulless look to them, so that's what we will do to our image. Cut out the eyes of the layer using Lasso Tool (select them and then do CTRL + J), and then using Curves and Selective Color, make the eyes look whitish, after which, remove the light reflections in them with Clone Stamp Tool.

There, we have the base. Now we need to make the model look bloody and gore, and for that, we will need overlays, stock images and brushes. I will gladly provide the overlays and stock images I used to do it:

OVERLAY 1 | OVERLAY 2

STOCK 1 | STOCK 2

The overlay 1 image was used by me to give that veiny look to the skin, even though the image itself is of cracks, and the overlay 2 is the image I used for the skin wound on the arm. It's quite easy to work with that; just place the images in the file you're in, above all the layers, and just play around with the Blending Modes. For the overlay 1, I used the Soft Light blending mode, and that's what I got:

Same goes to the Overlay 2 image, but I used there the Linear Light blending more, with 80% of opacity and I changed the colour of the overlay, adding more red to it. That's what I got:

We already have quite the effect, do we not? But let's proceed to the blood and wounds. Open the Stock 1 and Stock 2 images that I have provided. As you can see, the Stock 1 is an image of a serious cheek wound, and the Stock 2 is an image of a bruise. You can apply them using the same steps as for the Overlays. The Cheek Wound required more editing, because you need to erase parts so it would fit your manipulation, set it to Soft Light blending mode, then I duplicated the stock image, and set the opacity of the second one to 37%. As for the bruise, you can apply it anywhere you desire, however I thought it looked good on the forehead, using the Darken blending mode, with 86% of opacity. And that's what I got out of it:

Play around with the blending modes, with the contrasts and colours, because every image is different and for each one of them, you would need to edit the overlays and the stocks for them to fit the picture. That's how it is, and that's how it always will be.

I thought that the face needed some blood spatter, so I used one of my brushes to do it. I do not recall where I got them from, but I shall find them and post links to them. Meanwhile, use one of your own, or download one from one of the resource websites. I tutorial about blood effect was also requested, but while I do not have one up yet, I will simply advice you to use brushes, and also play in the blending mode with them.

Almost everything is ready, but when we look at the image, we can see that something is missing, something is not right, and I'll tell you what - look at the teeth. How often did you see a decomposing Zombie having such perfect white teeth? Never, I would say. So, we need to change that. Zoom in on the teeth, create a new empty layer and select the Brush Tool. Choosing the #846d4f colour, paint over the teeth (on top and near the lip at the bottom), then apply the Color Burn blending mode with 86% of opacity, to have that dirty look to them.

Now we have the image more of less ready to be posted, but it's not looking natural just yet. Flatten all the layers, and open the Curves window, to make the image darker and raise the contrast:

After which, go into Selective Color, and do the following:

You have your Zombie manipulation done and ready. Mine looks slightly different, because I also applied the Paint Daubs in the end, to enlighten the details, but that's not necessary.
[!]: If you're not quite pleased with the outcome, and your image does not look scary, then using the Burn Tool and the Sponge Tool, work around the eyes (making them darker), and the cheeks and forehead (making them more desaturated).

Photoshop tutorial 004.

PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL 004.

Create a GIF

So, going through the requests, I have seen a very interesting one, much different from all the others - a request for a tutorial on how to make GIFs through Photoshop. Therefore, we'll be doing that today.

Basically, I have a couple of examples of how it can be done, yet in all of them, you would need some sort of video editing program, and here's the reason why:

#1 - in the first example, you will be needing a video clip that you will want to turn into a GIF

#2 - and in the second example, you will need to create your own screen-captures to make a GIF (HOWEVER, if you have a player that allows to take screen-captures (for example: GOMplayer), then it will do.)

First, let's create a GIF with the first technique:

Once you have a video clip that you would want to turn into a GIF (in an AVI or MOV [quicktime] format), open your Photoshop (x86) and do the following:

File -> Import -> Video Frames to Layers

Find your video clip on your computer, select it and click on "Load".

Once you have done that, a little window will pop out looking like this:

Keep everything as it is, however, to shorten the images in the GIF, thus make the size of smaller, limit to every 2 or even 3 frames the file. Then click on OK. Now the images will load, and it might take a couple of seconds, so don't panic if it's not opening like a normal image right away. Once it's opened, it will be in its original video size, and for me that is 1280x720 px, which is way too big for a GIF. I will change the size to 310px in width, at first, because when you change the size of a set of images like it, it always leaves some sort of transparent tiny line on the sides, and I will try to avoid that. And NOW, I will cut the image on the sides, so we don't have any unneeded lines appearing: open the Canvas Size and cut somewhere 10px in width and height. There, it's pretty now, but it's still not a GIF - it's just a set of images, however, before making anything move just yet, I'd like to apply a colouring to the gif, and for that ALWAYS use PSD colourings that you simply can grad on top of your layers, otherwise you'll be making this GIF for years and years. (Or, if you create your own colourings, just create filter adjustments and put them all above of all the layers). I applied a quick edit, and I'm ready to make it into a moving image.

Click on Window and then on Animation, and a little window will pop out at the bottom of the screen - that's how you make your image move. The next few steps will contain a lot of captures, because I will be needing to show you the steps, for you to properly understand them.

That's how the window will look like:

However, you will need to fix the speed to 0,1 f/s, and for that you must select all of the layers in the Animation Window (click on the first layer, hold SHIFT and then click on the last layer), after which click on the time set and choose 0,1 seconds.

Click on play to see the outcome.

To save a GIF, you need to click on File -> Save for Web&Devices and then click on Save (check that the format is GIF and not something else, in the window that will pop out during the savings)

TO TAG A GIF BEFORE SAVING IT:

To tag a GIF is very easy also; all you have to do is add a text while being on the first layer of the Animation window. I'll tag mine with "DefyingxMars. Anya A. tutorials", click on play to make sure that the tag is present on all the layers (if it's not, then while being on the first layer of the Animation window, create copies of the tag layers in the Layers Window and delete the old ones, this way all the Animation layers will have the tag in the same place), and then save the GIF.

There, that is the easiest way to make GIFs, however it's not always the better one, seeing as how, for example, on tumblr, you have a size limit, therefore you need to literally count the layers allowed in one file. So, in such cases, you can create a GIF using the cap-by-cap example, and for that, you would need screen-captures of the moment (second by second).

Once you have the screen captures you need, go to Photoshop and click on

Files -> Scripts -> Load Files into Stack

after which a little window will appear, looking like this:

Browse and find the screen-captures on your computer, select them and click on OK, then load them all into one file (just click on OK in the popped out window). From there, you will have one file with lots of layers, and each of those layers will be one of the screen-captures that you have uploaded. However, the Animation window will contain only one layer, yet don't panic - you're one click away from having the full set: click on the menu of the Animation window and then click on "Make Frames from Layers". There, you have your layers, and from that point, do the rest as I have explained above.

And joy, you have your GIF, and mine looks like that:

I shall try to create one tutorial a day, if I have the time for it. It's not a promise, however, with the amount of requests I got - we've got work to do (the requests are to be send to my tumblr page).

Photoshop tutorial 003.

PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL 003
Black Demon eyes.

Hello, everyone...once more. Today I shall offer you another PhotoShop tutorial before going about my business. I thought of a couple of requests that were made, and I decided to do first the Demon-Supernatural show like manipulation - aka applying black eyes to a model. It's very easy, to be quite honest, all you have to do is to blacken the eyes and make it look realistic, so that is what we will do right now. That is what we will be doing:

I. Open your program and open an image of a model in it - no matter which one, but make sure it's a HD picture, so the outcome will be pretty. I have chosen Adriana Lima for it.

II. Our first step is to make the black eyes. Indeed, we are that quick. In the opened image, create a new layer and then using the Lasso Tool, select the area you will be filling with black. (Some people, who do the same kind of edits, do not use Paint Bucket, but a Brush Tool, however I find it easier and cleaner to just fill the area with the colour instead of trying to apply the paint without going crazy and missing spots. Now, with the area selected, simply fill it with the black colour. Don't worry if the sides of the black spot are sharp, unrealistically looking and seem weird. We will correct that in a few seconds.

III. Still working with the new layer, select Blur Tool in the Tool Box and apply it to the sides of the black area. After which, select the Smudge Tool and drag the sides of the black spot so it would fit perfectly the eye. There, normally you should have somewhat an already quite pretty looking image.

IV. Now we shall proceed on to the reflection, because, indeed, the eye must be black, the pupils are black also, but the eyes always have a light reflection, and the Demons have the same. Create another layer above the black spot, and select the Brush Tool and a white colour. Create three little spots on the eye; a big one and two little ones not far away from one another. Set the layer to 75% of opacity, and then, select the Blur Brush and slightly apply the tool on the spots, so they would look well fit to the picture.

V. Before doing any further changes to the eyes, I decided to quickly apply a small change of contrast to the image, so I tweaked it slightly in Curves. Don't go crazy there, because the picture must still look normal. Once that is done, zoom in on one of the eyes (we shall do the magic on one eye first, and then the second), select the layer of the main picture (without merging the layers of the black spot and the white reflections) and using the Burn Tool, create shadows by the eye, so the black would fit more nicely to the set, and the look would appear more fierce.

VI. Your image is ready, but I decided to use some more effects, so the I applied Surface Blur and Paint Daubs. And there you go - your image is done.

Photoshop tutorial 002.

PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL 002

Hello, everyone. Let's create another PhotoShop tutorial today. I thought about different possibilities, but let's try something easy to start off - creation of an image of the sort:

It can be used as an image for a tumblr, or a default for role-play websites such as MySpace or RPme, and it is done in a few clicks. Indeed, it's THAT simple.

First, we would need three screen-captures quite alike to one another, meaning - it must be captures of a few seconds of difference.

When you have opened all the three screen-captures in your program, resize them equally, and drag them all into the empty image. (My file is of 500x520 px in size). Now, you have a couple of possibilities - you can either make all three sides equal, therefore just divide the width into three (500 / 3 = 166,66, however we must have a round number, so we will make it 167, to not have any empty spaces in-between the images), or you can do it as you feel it (that's how I cut the images) and crop the images as you desire. Let's try exactly that: click on the Rectangular Marquee Tool in the Tool Box that is on the side, then select a precise spot of the image, and to cut the selected area (do CTRL + J). There, you have your first screen-cap placed and ready. Do the same to the other two captures, and you have your three "rectangles" finished. It should look something like this:

I suppose you have already figured out what kind of contrast you wanted for your image to have, so I will let you pick a background colour. I have chosen #5c4732

Create a new layout under the three screen-captures that we have (do not merge anything just yet), select the Paint Bucket Tool in the Tool Box, click on the Foreground Colour square and choose your colour. Click ok. Now, click on your image, while your new layer is selected. You have filled that layer with a new colour. (That was for those who haven't done anything in Photoshop yet, because it's the basics, and I will not return to that little part in the future tutorials).

The next step is to make the top and bottom on the screen-captures to disappear and merge with the background colour. Many simply erase the image, however I don't like doing that, since there could be complications, or you might change your mind while doing the edit, however the image will be already erased and you won't be able to go back. So, what I do - is paint above the images with the same colour as the background. Let's do that: create a new layer above all the others, select the Brush Tool (Soft Round Pressure Size) and set the size of the brush as you desire, but it must be big enough to cover the parts we need to paint over. My brush size was of 123px. Now simply paint over. That's my outcome of the test:

Then, before we do any colourings of the image itself, I decided to add some shades, lights and contrast, so; create a new layer above all the others, and using the same brush tool, click once in the middle top of the image (with the colour set on something lighter, and the size of the brush on much, much bigger). Once you have your big drop of paint, set the Blending Mode of the layer to Vivid Light.

Then you can either merge all the layers and proceed to the colouring, or you can, at first, add your text to the file (you can add the text later, I usually do how I feel at the moment). Let's merge the image: in the top menu, select Layer and then click on Flatten Image. There, you have your almost ready edit done, however it is not finished just yet. Let's add a tag/text. There, you do your own magic, and when you're done - throw a rock.

There. I'm done. Let's continue and finish up our edit to move to more interesting things. Once you have finished your text, merge all the layers once more - apply your colouring, or an action - the image needs a colouring. After I have used the Curves and some effects, I ended up having out much awaited outcome.
