Tutorial: Art History Brush AHB - Palms method (Photoshop)

[dmrdm]

I'm going to start from square one again. The one I've been working on now looks like it has a 5 o'clock shadow on the left side by her mouth. I'll try the noise reduction...was also thinking about getting rid of the strands of hair on the right side and maybe lightening up the photo or at least the face. Maybe I just need to try a different face all together. It's been fun learning how to do this.

I like what you did on desire. Turned out very nice.

Appreciate your time.

Hi yvonne with the art history brush it uses the colour from your image/photo so dont worry about colour just practice and all will become clear ( hopefully)

What i think you will find is they are "tools" so you need to load them as tools NOT brush's

edit >preset manager

If that isnt any help ask again

The brush i use most (at the moment) is here
http://www.furiae.com/index.php?view=gallery
under tutorials, textured brushes the download link is right at the bottom

And basically all i do is make a copy of the original image (image1) and paint away again using one/two "clicks"( make the brush a bit smaller if you like) controlling the colour can be a bit hard but move your brush around a bit(image2), and that is it you can then do loads of things like add contrast, sharpen, or colorize,(image4) When you get a background you really like save it and alter for other images

What i do then is have the art work under this layer and use a mask to bring it through (image3) or if you have cut your image out on to another layer put it on top of the background

Hope this helps some for someone

I am trying to ride on your coat tails Palms.

Here is my version of this image. I just used the Color Range to isolate the green and then used Gaussian Blur to my taste. Then inverted the selection and sharpened it. then while just the flower was still selected I went to the Edit menu and used the Stroke command with a line size of one pixel.

Very nice Gunner not thought of using the Stroke like that, great idea

Rather than make this thread longer and therefore more time consuming i have started another thread for a ahb and sketch/lineart painting

Hi Palms

I've downloaded those brushes you recommend, but they don't seem to work on my mac computer? Does anyone know a way around this?
Thanks
