Create a fairy tale digital art in Photoshop

Digital art, Photoshop, Tutorial
Thanks to your enthusiasm and the more than 50 likes on Facebook I made an advanced digital art tutorial for you in which I show you all the techniques I used for this artwork. In this tutorial we are going to use professional selections, masking, working with the pen tool and vector masks, creating and setting up custom brushes, using smart filters, blend modes and so much more. I show lots of things in only 25 minutes, so please feel free to watch this video more than once if it is too fast to follow and understand.

Create realistic blood

Digital art, Photography, Photoshop, Tutorial
In this tutorial you can learn to create realistic blood. Beware, it will be a little bit gory! Don’t show it your kids and your grandma! I’m using a photograph and I draw the dripping blood on the picture trying to capture the volume and realistic look. I don’t use any special brushes or plug-ins (as usual) so you only need to find a photo to be able to follow this tutorial. Please try not to start with your girlfriends photograph or the family portrait 🙂

Photoshop Evangelist contest video

Digital art, New feature, Photoshop, Tutorial
This was the video tutorial that I created for the Next Photoshop Evangelist contest. I made to the finals and became the 4th at the end. I’m really happy that my work was chosen by the judges and my friends voted for me. From the video you can learn how to use the new feature of Adobe Photoshop CS5, the Mixer Brush tool to easily turn photographs into digital paintings, to enhance details of your artwork, to soften skin and to quickly create special effects.
