  Colour By Numbers: Photoshop Tutorial I’ve been experimenting with water colour painting and using Photoshop to create ‘Colour By Numbers’ images and printing them on water colour paper to paint. / I thought that maybe other people might be interested, so I took a found image of Audrey Tautou the French film actress and created a visual record of the steps. / The images are clickable for the larger versions. Photoshop CS2 was used but any version will do. That can be done simply, two ways: / a. Image>Mode>Grayscale / b. Image>Adjust>Desaturate Then I resampled the image from 16cm x 13cm at 72dpi to a size that would fit onto an A4 sheet (30cm x 21cm) at 200dpi. / Image>Image Size / Constrain proportions: check / Resample image: check – Bicubic sampling / Resolution: 200 pixels/inch / Height: 20 cm – the width changes proportionally automatically. 2. For this image I wanted to bring out some detail from the dark hair. / Image>Adjust>Shadow/Highlights / Shadow amount: 100% / Note: If using pre CS2: Image>Adjust>Brightness & Contrast can be used for similar results. Image>Adjust>Posterize / Levels: 4 (this is the amount of tones the image will be reduced to.) I found the result to be unsatisfactory due to the rough edges and parts of the image not being clearly defined. So I returned to the previous state. 4. Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur / Radius: 3 pixels Levels: 4 This time the edges are clearly defined and rounder. 6. To achieve the above: / a. Using the Magic Wand tool: tolerance 1, contiguous NOT checked, click anywhere on the white parts of the image. This selects all the white elements. b. Create a new layer (click the ‘page with bent corner’ icon at the bottom of the Layers pallete. c. Edit>Stroke> / Stroke: 2 pixels / Colour: light gray (click the coloured rectangle which opens a colour picker) / Location: inside d. Select>Deselect You will have a layer with the ‘stroke’ or selection edge colour gray. As the rest of the layer is transparent it will be hard to see against the checkerboard, so create a new layer below this layer and the fill it with white: / Edit>Fill / Contents: Use: White Repeat the stroke instructions for the other 3 tones, each on a new layer. Make sure the posterized image layer is selected when selecting tones with the Magic Wand and then select the relevant blank layer to colour the stroke. 7. This is the image with all four tones outlined or stroked. / This perfectly acceptable, but if you want to separate the tones a bit more… Use the Magic Wand as before to select a tone. Then: / Select>Modify>Contract: 3 pixels / Colour the stroke as above. Repeat for the other 3 tones. 9. If you want to be able to paint the areas with correct tones/colours you can add numbers using the Type tool: 10pt & light gray, as for the strokes. / Note: a new layer is created for type. / I duplicate the current type layer each time by selecting the type layer and dragging it to the New Layer icon. / Then using the Move tool, I move the type where I want it on the image. / When finished I make all layers invisible, except the type layers for the the relevant number: by clicking off the eye icon to the left of each unwanted layer. / Then Layer>Merge visible 10. Print the image on a sheet of water colour paper or similar thickness. I just bought a 12 sheet, A4, 220gsm, water colour pad at Big W for $8.30 which is reasonable. / If you paint in water colours the numbers/strokes may show through if they are too dark or the paint is too thin, experiment to get the best result. “ This is my first attempt with watered down acrylics that had a gouache effect and covered the strokes. / You could use gouache, oils, felt-tip markers, pencils etc. I hope this tutorial was helpful and clearly understood. Let me know if something is unclear or you have a question. / Upload any experiments to this journal entry if you like. I would love to see what people come up with.

• Spookee's House of Learning Part 1: Hair- making custom brushes

  Alright, here’s the first of a few tutorials I have saved up on my “artistic method” (pompous and pretentious to call it that, I know- but ‘random ways of doing stuff’ doesn’t give off a good vibe). The first of which is going to be on creating a custom brush to paint hair with. / This tutorial is geared mostly towards Photoshop 7.0 because that is what I mostly use for computer generated images. Any settings I give in this tutorial are not the be-all, end-all. They are more of a guideline… like the Pirate’s Code. 1) Once you have Photoshop opened up, go to File, New. In the New window use these settings: / Width: 60 pixels / Height: 80 pixels / Resolution: Any / Mode: RGB / Contents: White Click “Okay”. This will open up a new, tiny window for you to create your brush in. 2) Create your standard sized document (for me this is anywhere from 8 inches x 10 inches to 16×20 inches. Go ahead and minimize this for right now, you won’t need it until later on. 3) In the tiny window, change your brush to a 1pix hard edged brush and make a few random clicks in that space. Go ahead and zoom in to about 500% so you can easily see the brush and marks you make. Make about 2 – 5 random spots and then create a new layer. 4) On your new layer, chose a 2 or 3pix soft edged brush and make 1 – 3 random spots. Try not to put them in the same X (horizontal) or Y (vertical) Axis at first. We’re just making a simple brush here and don’t want to get too carried away. 5) Merge the layers into one (Ctrl+E to Merge Down, Shift+Ctrl+E to Merge All) and reduce the Magnification to 100%. 6) Select the Marquee Tool- this is either the hashed-out rectangle or hashed-out circle on your tool bar. Select the rectangular Marquee and draw a box around your brushes. 7) With your soon-to-be brush selected, go to Edit, Define Brush. A window will pop up and ask for a name. Let’s call it HairBrush 1a. 8) Now, remember that standard sized document we made earlier and set off to the side? Time to bring it up. We’re going to test out our new brush. Open your brush palette and scroll all the way to the bottom, you should see your newly created brush’s name or thumbnail just waiting for you. Select the brush and make a stroke along your document. 8.1) Your brush right now is probably too small and “skippy” at this point, so we’re going to edit it: Open up your Brushes (Window, Brushes) and click on Brush Tip Shape. Use the Compass (Circle with Cross in it) to adjust the angle of your brush and reduce the spacing to 5% or less. Adjust the size to what you feel comfortable with as a Starting point (for me, usually around 50). / 8.1.a) Click on Shape Dynamics and beneath Size Jitter, select the option that best suits you- since I use a Wacom Tablet, I set the Size Control Option for Pen Pressure. / At this point, we are done editing our Custom Brush Specs. Move back to your Brush Palette and click on the turned pages square beneath the Left pointing Triangle. Name your Newly edited HairBrush something like HairBrush1. Select the prior brush (Not the one you just made) and delete it, you don’t need it anymore. CONGRATULATIONS!!! You just created your first custom Hair brush for Photoshop! The next tutorial will guide you along on painting out hair for your models!

  I just wanted to share some really cool brush resources for those of you interested in adding some plugins to your Photoshop software. I have used some of them and they rock! All are freeware and some cite that you must give a link back to them in order to use them. The following is a comprehensive list of ALL of the websites where I have downloaded brushes from. Any of my pieces that feature a brush from one of these sets will be linked back to this journal for proper crediting. Brush gurus: 50ml Brushes Seishido Pixel Chick Damned in Black Dubtastic Juuichi Aquired-taste Photoshopsupport.com’s Brush Page I hope you all find these as useful as I have! If you need help installing these, check out my Photoshop Tip #1: Where to get brushes? journal entry. These are my pieces which use any of the above dingbats/fonts (will add as I create more):

• Photoshop Tip #1: Where to get brushes?

  Okay, so you’ve seen some amazing work online and wondered where the artist got all those astounding background effects or how they did that cool layered effect. Well, as surprising as it may sound, some of those effects were done using a very common Photoshop preset: Brushes. You may be asking yourself, don’t I already have brushes installed with my Photoshop CS3 (or CS2) software? Well, yes, you do. But those are the basics. There are a ton of awesome people out there in internet land who are making additional brushes (and other plugins) for you to use with your software. These plugins are very easy to download and install. I will try to give you a short rundown of what to expect when installing these brushes. For more information as to how to use them or for more detailed installation information or installation for a MAC OS, please consult the very wonderful Photoshopsupport.com, a very neat index of everything Photoshop! (Please note: The following instructions are very, very simplistic because I wanted even the novice Photoshop user to be able to use these tools. I know there are a bunch of different ways to do these things (even some that are easier), but I wanted to put it in basic terms without all the fancy language and extra steps because I remember how it was when I first started teaching myself to use the Adobe programs. Plus, this is not intended to be a full fledged tutorial.) The first step is to download some really cool brushes from an online provider. Some brush sets you will have to pay for, others are free with some restrictions, and others are completely free. Make sure you read the website’s policy before you use them. You can view my Photoshop CS3 (and CS2) Brushes journal entry to visit the websites where I have downloaded most of my brushes from. Most of them have free areas or are completely free and all you have to do is link back to them. Once you have chosen the brush set to download, simply download it to your computer. Because the files are normally saved in a Zip file, I start off by downloading the file to my Desktop first and then moving them over after (this is to avoid confusion). However, if you feel comfortable unzipping them right into the proper file, then by all means go-ahead-with-your-bad-self! After you have downloaded the Zip file to your Desktop, you will need a program (such as WinRAR, which is what I use) to unzip the file. At this point, you may be asking where you unzip the file to? Well, inside the Zip file may be a read me (.txt) file and other junk (which may be of interest to you) and there should also be a brush (.abr) file, which is the one you want to unzip. You can unzip the brush file onto your Desktop and then move it over manually, or you can unzip it to the Photoshop directory itself. Regardless of which method yo use, your ultimate goal is to get that .abr brush file into a specific folder in your Photoshop program’s file. For brushes, the file you will want to place your .abr brush files into is the “Brush” file within the “Presets” file. So, how do you get there? Open your My Computer and find the drive which has the folder “Program FIles”. Now, open “Program Files” and then find the folder labeled “Adobe”. Next, open the “Adobe” folder and you will see ALL of the Adobe programs, which are installed on your system. Locate the “Adobe Photoshop CS3” (or CS2) folder and open it. Find the “Presets” folder and open it. Finally, you will see a folder called “Brushes”. Open it. You can now see ALL of the brushes that are installed to use with your Photoshop program. This “Brushes” folder is where you want to place all of your downloaded .abr brush files. So, the quick breakdown to find the “Brushes” folder is: Program Files >>> Adobe >>> Adobe Photoshop CS3 (or CS2) >>> Presets >>> Brushes Once you have unzipped the files or drag-and-dropped them into this file folder, you can close the folders. You will also need to re-start your Photoshop program in order for the brushes to be finalized and installed and ready for use (sometimes, you have to re-start your computer as well). After you have re-booted your software, open a blank file and click on the “Brush Tool” or simply press its keyboard shortcut ( B ) to activate it. Now, right click anywhere on the page and your brush palette should appear (this is where you control the brush size/hardness, etc.) and in the upper right hand corner you should see a little black triangle with a circle around it. Click on that little triangle/circle icon and…. whaaaaa-la! Your newly installed brushes are there just waiting for you to experiment with them! All you have to do is click on a preset and it will ask you if you would like to load those brushes. Click “Ok” and they will appear in your brush palette waiting to be used and abused! So, go have fun with your new brushes and get creative! The last step, of course, is to add your comments below! Add your brush tips (pun intended) below so that we can all learn from each other! Cheers!

• Painting Diesel on Decks - 1/4 of the way through....
  by Diesel Laws

  Diesel on Decks – The Art Piece / ...

  Diesel on Decks – The Art Piece / - This is my favourite design to date and, as I was rummaging through the house the other day I stumbled across an acrylic paint set. / So I popped down the shop, purchased some 45×60 canvas’ and decided it was time to convert my art from digital to reality. I decided to take some photos of the process and as it stands, I believe I am 1/4 of the way through. Enjoy. —-—-—-—-- / To start, I hopped into Photoshop and made my canvas the same size as the ‘real’ canvas. In this case, 45cm x 60cm, with 300dpi. Then I dragged my vector image across and resized it to fit the Photoshop canvas. Unfortunately I don’t have a massive printer, so I printed the image across 4 pieces of paper, (there was a little bit of the image missing on each page) aligning each page with the reference corner; eg. top left image on the page aligns with top left corner, bottom right aligns to bottom right corner etc. Then, I printed a colour version of the center image, where most of the ‘action’ happens. I will use this image for colour reference, and also tracing later on. Then came the question of how to get that design onto the canvas. Remembering back to primary school, I used a highly advanced technique (WARNING – NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED) called…...TRACING. Told you it was advanced! I coloured the back of the main colour image, and then, using my 4 pages as a guide, I traced the image directly onto the canvas. Ooooooh! Then I posed for this really cool shot. Then next bit was to get my paints out and start colouring in the areas. Even though I will later cover over the edges with thick black outlines, I wanted to be as neat as possible and take my time on this artwork. I tend to usually rush things in real life so it was a good test! When I paint, I have a habit of pouring out way too much paint then I need. Today was no different. I’m sure I will learn to perfect this wasting technique as the days go on. I was drawing/painting for about 2 hours and I’m quite proud of how far I have got already. I’m also very happy with where it is going, and it may not look like much in the final drawing SO FAR, but in my opinion it’s on track! I’m not sure how long it will take to finish it, probably another 4 days when I get the time, but I will put up another Journal entry asap! This is where we leave it for today, but stay tuned…I will finish this! If you like this art piece, please view it here > /

• Pen and Wash, Sketches and Patterns In Photoshop

  This tutorial can be used for several things, hence the terrible title :) Every tutorial I have here can be used in different ways to what is shown, I quite like this one though, because to get to the end result (pen and wash) the process naturally takes the path of a sketch or something you could use as a pattern to transfer one of your photographs to a canvas to paint. Warning – there’s always warning LOL This is a really, really image dependant tutorial. There is probably no part of this tutorial that is going to suit another image, but the good news is that you’ll get to fiddle around with settings, and that can’t be a bad thing :) So the start image comes to us from someone, but I can’t remember who. If anyone does find the owner, could you please leave the name and web address so I can credit them. Open the image and duplicate the it by pressing Ctrl + J or dragging it to the new layer icon at the bottom of the layers palette. Working on the duplicate layer go to Filter>Blur>Smart Blur (If you haven’t got Smart Blur, try Surface Blur or Median) and you can punch in the settings I have if you are working on the start image. Click OK to accept the settings. Add a layer mask to this layer by clicking on the Add Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the layers palette. Using a black, soft edged brush and with the opacity of the brush at about 50% (top toolbar) in one swipe brush back in the face. Once you have that done, flatten the image Ctrl + E and then duplicate the layer. Got to Filter>Stylize>Glowing Edges and you can punch in the same settings I have – in the teeny weeny dialogue box LOL Click OK to accept the numbers and then invert the image by pressing Ctrl + i on the keyboard. Then press Ctrl + U and take the saturation slider all the way down to -100 change the blend mode to Multiply. Take the opacity of the layer down to about 80% (you can fiddle with that later as well. You should end up with something similar to the image below. Duplicate the original background layer and drag the duplicate to the top of the layer stack. Press Ctrl + i to invert the image and then change the blend mode to Colour Dodge. You’ll notice in the image below that the glowing edges might have been a bit strong in this instance because it has left a bit of colour in the image which shouldn’t really be there ….. thought to self – maybe I should have run through this to get the exact settings and make myself look good LOL This is where fiddling with the settings comes in useful. Go back to the middle layer of the sandwich and fiddle about with the opacity of the layer. I took the opacity of the layer down to 60 % to give it a bit more of a pencil effect, if you leave it higher you’ll get the pen effect. At this stage you could use it as a pattern for painting or if you do it correctly :) as a pencil sketch – but you can take it one step further, all with some brushes and the foreground colour set to black. Set the f/ground colour to black and go and pick a brush, I chose ‘Watercolour Loaded Wet Flat Tip – 63’ In the top toolbar and took the opacity and the flow of the brush down to 10%. Paint over the little troll thing but try not to go back over the same area more than once. You may end up with something like the image below. Go and grab a different brush, or you use the same one to go back over the image and build up an effect. If you make a mistake, switch the foreground colour to white and it will soak up some of the paint. Always make sure that you are working on the Colour Dodge layer, you’ll soon know if you’re not because you’ll end up painting with grey :) Adjust the opacity and flow of the brush to build up the image and zoom in and out to get an idea of how the process is going. After you do each paint layer in building up the image, it might be wise to take a snapshot so you can revert the image if you don’t like what you do next. You can go back to the middle layer (multiply blend mode) and take the opacity of the layer down to 0% to loose the pen/pencil lines and end up with a painted image. If you play around a little bit, you should end up with something a whole lot better than my image below :) Have fun!

  A simple tutorial on how to remove a background from an image placed into Photoshop. There may be an easier way I don’t know. I nutted this out this afternoon. 1.Open Photoshop and set up your T-Shirt template to look like this. Make sure it’s set to transparent background. / 2. Select File>Place>choose the image you want to put into the template. / 3. A box will appear, like this one below, click okay. / 4. Your image will appear. Double click on the image to embed it. Select the magic wand tool and click on green background (your background-hopefully you have a one colour background). Marching ants should appear (doesn’t show here) around the image and canvas. / 5. Select the erase background tool in the tool bar. The marching ants are there to protect your image from accidently being erased. / 6. Start clicking around your image to remove background. You’ll have to zoom in and out to pick up any tiny bits that may be missed. To make your eraser brush smaller use the [ on your keyboard. To make it larger click the ] . / 7. Hopefully you’ll end up with something like this. If so save as a png file and it’s ready to upload to RB as a T-Shirt image!!! /
