Iusually find myself late nights playing around in Photoshop unwinding from the day,
musing along with the muse and laid back music, trying out my new downloaded
brushes, or some filters or anything I happen to click with. Getting unexpected
effects and rolling along with them. I don't / cant be bothered to criticise
and judge, just having too much fun. I learn so many new effects, discover
so many new colours I find it hard to stop until I can hardly see. So here
is a selection probably not all wonderful, but the experimental mind is all
important. Some of the brushes I cant remember where I found them but I
will try to do so. Usually I get brushes from the places on my digital links page
HERE. These colorfilter brushes are cool General Brushes - Behind the Screen Hey you never know what you can do until you try. Practise makes better. Chill out, play and enjoy yourself. Using Patterns below. |
Using the pattern feature is really easy and creates some interesting decorative
effects. Find a bit of a pattern you like, scale is important (this you can experiment
with) select an area and go to Edit> Define Pattern. Give it a name
in the pop up. To use it on your work, get the selection box/oval or draw a freehand shape with the lasso tool and fill with the paint bucket. This has to be set to pattern >click arrow in Fill to pattern and the box next to it you can choose your pattern. In your Layers click on Style by clicking to the right or rightclick >Blending Options. Here click Pattern Overlay, find your pattern and use the scale slider to change it as you want, Click ok. Move it around, build up layers of image with patterns and add brushes. Experimenting with these tools you will get some unusual results Gillian Allen March 06 |
