Tutorial One:
>>
9 main steps
Translatable: YESS,
Difficulty: Easy/Medium ?
Step One~ Prep up your base . I always do this buy simply duplicating my base usually 4 times with the layer mode set to this order:
1st Duplicate: Screen 100%
2nd: Softlight 100%
3rd: Linear burn: 100%
4th: Screen 42% <(depending on your image)<
This is supposed to give it enough brightness and contrast .
Step Two~ Alrighty, let's get right into the colouring before all the texture suff . New Colour Balance layer:
Midtones: +30, +7, -9
Shadows: +13, -18, -7
Step Three~ This step is just oing to simply make the colours pop out a lot more, mainly the reds in the image . Create a new hue/saturation layer:
Master: 0, +23, 0
Step Four~ Create a new fill layer: DDFEE4 set to multiply at 77%
Step Five~ Alrighty, let's put in some textures . Add this and this texture by
treasuresex and set them both to multiply .
Step Six~ Duplicate your base and drag it all the way to the top . Set this layer to softlight so we could see the character a lot clearer .
Step Seven~ It still looks a little hidden, so we'll fix that up with a levels layer. Create a new levels layer and input these settings:
RGB: 9, 1.33, 232
Step Eight~ Add this texture by aftermidni aftermidnightand set it to softlight .
Step Nine~ Add this texture by
girlboheme and set it to multiply .
Add this texture by (? If you know, please tell) and set it to multiply . I erased whatever part of this texture that was on her hand so that it looked like the
writing was behind her .
Creat a new layer and take a soft round brush and click anywhere with the colour F80331 . Set this layer to screen with an opacity of 77%
Kay so you're basically done now so you can do anything and add anything you want to it :) Experimenting and adding your own twist instead of completely following this tutorial is encouraged~
