Photoshop Model

Photoshop Model(s)

I had another go at putting texture on my model. To be more accurate I had another 3 goes. Each time, I learnt some more about how to use Photoshop and so decided to make a new version in case what I was hoping to do didn't work out (I didn't want to go back to the start!)

Attempt 2.0

I started using the texture feature of the paint bucket which worked a lot better, but realised my perspective was sort of odd and so started trying to adapt it.

I painted with black and white to add to back of the model so that I could use the clone tool to cover it in texture making it look like it had been there all the time.

I wanted to show that my workspace was part of a much larger complex of buildings so I put it into Adobe Illustrator so that I could draw a series of lines to hint at other rooms.

I then reopened it in Adobe Photoshop and played with the clone tool, paintbrush, bucket, eraser and most important- the opacity level to make the other spaces fade into the background. I have always loved the effect of water colour on an image so I aimed to create a scene that looked a little like that rather than something that was hyper-realistic. I also used the lines to add some detail to the window to finish if off. Ta-Da!

I then made two more images by taking this image and changing the background.

 The first one took the background of my first attempt and made the model sit in it. I had to alter the lighting to make it more appropriate. I have another source of light from in front of it as you can see the front corner is a little lighter. I used the Photoshop pattern for grass and then used the eraser, paintbrush and blurring tool to combine it all together.

My second image I went with a forest theme and had some fun making it 'disappear' into the forest. I once again used the eraser, paintbrush and blurring tool as well as adjusting both light levels and colour. I also made a mask of the foreground which I copied multiple times to create the vine effect.

All in all, I have learnt so much in Photoshop. I began this process with barely any idea of how to use Photoshop and have finished with the skills to do everything I want to do. All I really need to do now is practise using these skills so that I become more competent.
