An Urban-Style Piece of Artwork

August 3rd, 2008 by ART-D Posted in Adobe Photoshop, Designing

Make three copies of the layer containing the red patch. Apply also the Free Transform selection for the copies’ layers to change their sizes and the positions on the picture. Change also the color of the copies. The copies’ layers should be situated lower than the DJ’s layers (on the layers’ palette).

Make one more copy of the red patch’s layer from the right bottom corner. Select after that the Free Transform option to place the copy on the left bottom corner.

Create now a new layer that must be placed upper than the rays’ layer, but lower than the DJ’s layers.
Download out of Internet a set of ready to use brushes for Adobe Photoshop, named: Swirls_And_Flowers_Brushes_PS_by_Coby17.
On the new layer we shall apply the brushes of white color.

    I am not quite sure what I just did but, you have to play with the selection/ image and inverse in the color range adjustment step. It turned up as a black burst, then when the color grad is applied it turns out. It was the only way I could get the free transform to act properly. Ill report back after I practice this step again. Thanks of rthe lesson I had been looking for this very technique.

    Anyone having trouble with the flower and swirls brushes here is another link I found!
    http://myphotoshopbrushes.com/brushes/id/114
    The link on this tutorial has a .rar file download that won’t upload for me in CS5. The link I provided downloads as a .zip. You then double click on it and it creates a .abr file which I then can open through photoshop.

    I’m new with Photoshop and I’m having trouble with the “Color Range” step where you have to click “Free Transform”. I do that, but it won’t let me move the black burst. Can someone please precisely explain to me how to do this?
