TUTORIAL 3: CHARLIZE THERON

[byjove]

Requirements: Photoshop
Info: Desaturation, light texture, and gradients.

NOTE: When I talk about adding a gradient, text, or ANYTHING, assume

thanks, that's great!

the only thing that i'm having troublt with is this:

"Next, I created a white blooby brush thingymajiggy using a small square brush, and a small round brush. It may look just like a blob."

I can't seem to figure it out. I'm using PhotoShop 5.0. Could you help me?

Ahh, I probably made it sound alot more complicated than it was! It's actually quite easy. All I did was take one of my default Photoshop brushes (you know, those little square ones, and round ones?), and randomly draw a blob with the square brush (size 9, I think?). Then I went over it with a small round blurred brush (another default - those ones that are kind of fuzzy around the edges) and filled in some spots until it looked like a good blob. Let me know if it makes sense. If it doesn't, I'll gladly take a screen capture for you. :)
