Photoshop - Tutorial

Starting this piece i had no idea on the final outcome, so i started playing around with different shapes and colours to find some happy accidents.

1. Firstly i started by following the Adobe Illustrator tutorial showing me how to create a shape which included lots of overlapping lines.

2. I then transferred the object into Photoshop as i feel i can edit alot better on that software.

3. I then added a gradient going from white to light blue. At this point i decided to base the theme on the piece on ice and cold.

4. i then added a couple of textures over the gradient and changed the layer settings and opacity until i was happen with them.

5.Using what i learnt in the Illustrator tutorial i use a paint brush to highlight the object i imported with a white colour to make it imitate snow.

6. At this point i felt the whole piece needed a Hue Saturation on it to bring all the colours together.

7.Finally to i added the text "ICE" on the bottom right of the image as i felt that part of the piece was looking blank.

8. Changing the blending modes and opacity i made it look like the ice was fading into the background.
