Poster numero 8

[void ermine]

@fiery trail I think either way it will look good! But more importantly, I think you should get rid of the white outline around the silhouetted figure if possible and match the value of the notes with it. Right now, the notes are a more pure black and the figure is a gray and so they don't seem as unified as they could be. Cool image though and.... (secret shame... I do like [said like Ryan seacrest] American Idol! Ahhhh! shhh.. don't tell anyone....)

Day 1 Challenge complete. I am so late. I have been out of design school for decades, so y'all be nice. P.S. I am still using PS5.

Here's my second idea for Day 8 of the Photoshop Daily Challenge.
Off to work, now.
July 22nd: @glacial path and /or @bleak fossil... I'd really love some feedback on this. I think it's fine; what would you suggest to make it brilliant?

[young karma]

@bleak fossil Hi Sam, thank you for your feedback on the font I used. I've chosen another font and I made the font color a little bit darker. I think it looks a lot better, but what do you think of the font (color)? Does it match (a bit) with the composition?

hey ya'll wanting to give a huge THANK YOU and 💚 💜 💚 💜 to @sterile bane for teaching this #PSDailyChallenge. I learned so much over these two weeks. Thanks @Adobe for creating and updating the tools to make creating efficient and fun. I feel more capable of creating images that I only thought were available in my imagination. Thank you moderators and mentors!!!

[spark wharf]

Day 8. I couldn't get the color halftone filter to work on my Black layer. It was smart object and I tried rasterizing it. Any suggestions? This was a line art drawing. 😦

[scenic forge]

Ok rushed it a little but this is my day 8 🐐

[magic rampart]

@harsh helm your emoticon is awesome, how do you get a video in it?

[void ermine]

Day 8... just finished in time..

[harsh helm]

@ruby panther Yeah you're right, the blue is definitely the better one. The image before the gradient needed something to brighten it up so the blue does a better job of it.

@magic rampart Thanks, unfortunately you will need to subscribe to Discord Nitro to do it. Now you dont need the full 9.99 a month one, the 4.99 one gives you chat perks and the ability to use gifs as pfps. I would only do it if you have been using discord for a while and will be using it a lot in the future.

[tulip fern]

Thanks @bleak fossil ! I think I will play around with it some more, for now I wanted to stay with my own challenge "use the same image for all challenge days". If I did a good job, his eyes should be in the same position for every day that is why he is the size that he is. My husband also wanted the cat to be bigger so yes I will work with that later on and maybe the "Dierenbescherming" will like it as well and want to have it as a poster 😃

[bleak fossil]

@small copper Nice work, that blue color on the face is an interesting color pop in the image. I think perhaps the fencing could be cut out in a way that looks a little more natural, right now the seam is pretty visible which takes away from that fencing looking. You got some interesting textures going on, looks good!

[pulsar walrus]

@runic pendant nice place to display your work , one problem i see you hide the lights in front of board😇

[bleak fossil]

@young karma That poster is a great use of the challenge, very nice 😄 I think it could be a cool effect to only have the texture affect the background and leave it off of the images and maybe the text. Just a thought unless you like that look. Good job!

@vagrant sorrel This is a great presentation! I like how you chose the boldest color image for the center, I think it gives the whole thing a nice balance. Nice work!

@void ermine Looking good! I think the mock-ups are so fun because there’s so many contexts that you could possibly display them in. Really liking how that background blur really pushes the focus to your image!
@void ermine Really liking the cast shadow on your other mockup as well! Maybe you could use a masked levels adjustment on the left image to pop it out a bit more? Currently the white frame is really bright compared to it.

@pulsar walrus Oooh that image of Kathleen is great, really nice job! That mock-up image you used compliments the painting well. For your previous mock up image that’s an awesome idea to use something so big and dramatic like that.I think the front angle idea one is nice to really highlight a couple of the images in more of a focused way. Great work 😄

@loud zephyr Really cool style to this! I'm liking the illustrated look of the center image. Right now both the blue and red are really bold and saturated, I think it might be a little stronger to tone one of them down and let the other be a bit stronger. Might make for a stronger visual hierarchy and cause the colors to compete a bit less. I think the blue being desaturated a bit might look good. Nice work!

@young karma No need to fear, we’ll be back on Monday with more! This image is really cool, I like the plants above, that along with the brick wall gives the image a really neat feel. The images work really nicely as art on the wall. It seems like there’s a couple white edges here and there within the framing that could be cleaned up if you want to touch it up any more. Well done!

@blissful wolf Looks good! I think that definitely helps the face and eyes pull the most focus.
@woeful storm You’re killing it! Love the glow effect, works really well. That warm pink against the blue of the rest of the image makes for a great contrast. I think you could probably even tone down the blue hue/darkness of the background as there is currently so much contrast with your image, but perhaps you want that really extreme contrast stylistically. Great work!
Edit: Just saw all your challenges posted together. Really awesome stuff, impressed by everything you’ve been putting out for this DCC!

@white temple That’s great! The weekends are always a great time for catching up on some of the challenges if you’re able. You got a really nice visual balance to this image. The text on the right counterbalancing the visual weight of the flower on the left works very well. Colors are really nice and calming too. Well done!

@finite hull Hah, very nice! Glad you were able to join us for these challenges! This poster is intriguing, a tale I would be curious to hear 😂 I think perhaps having a more clear size difference between the top text and middle red text might help? I think the red text being even bigger might make for a nice visual read. Great work!

[blissful wolf]

Day 7 - Use gradient

[pulsar walrus]

@young karma nice color combination but there is a problem with size of your poster, if you covered the space properly looks more realistic😇

[bleak fossil]

@dusty pond Looking good, that image works really in a frame! Did you adjust the color of the wall? If so, I think it could be desaturated just a touch. It looks a little unnatural in its saturation and I think the boldness competes a little with your image. Though I do think a colorful wall and a strong greyscale image are a nice contrast.

[woeful storm]

@bleak fossil thank you 😊 it’s been a fun experience completing the challenges and people like u have made it even better on discord. 👍👍👍

@rich hinge your day 07 image is beautiful, if you dark the colors like sky pattern will show more drama

[bleak fossil]

@zinc lava Nice work Panashe! This is really cool, but I wonder if another mock-up image might suit this art better. Currently the flowers to the right are about the same size and brightness in color as the art on the left. It kind of makes them compete with each other and doesn’t really let either one shine. Often times images that have a nice contrast between the art and background work to really draw attention to the art you’re trying to show off. Just some thoughts!

[pulsar walrus]

@hearty wharf love you poster 💯

[bleak fossil]

@short mica Nice! It's always great to see the work all together and be able to look back and see everything you've done. Great job!

[pulsar walrus]

@fallow bough nice work and good choice of mockup😍

[bleak fossil]

@raven meadow Oh wow, great work! This is really cool, well done putting all these together. I think the green background could be desaturated a bit. It’s extremely saturated and looks a little unnatural. I think toning that down a bit might look more fitting while maintaining that fantastic/bright feeling of the image, and at the same time really allowing the fairy to pop out as the focal point by contrast.

@lone hare Nice work Ryan! Looking solid. Though the hard edges of that shadow on the wall on the right are a bit confusing in how they run along as a clean border next to the two posters on the right. It's a bit visually confusing as to what is going on. I think if the lighter border alongside the posters where there appears to be no shadow was filled in it would look more natural.

@tulip fern Really cool! I think it’s a really interesting idea to incorporate the same image into every challenge and then see all the challenges together and how different they can all look by using different techniques and approaches. Great work with this DCC, keeping up with each challenge is no easy task! Mockup looks really solid too, I like how it shows off several of the designs together as they work so well as a cohesive series.

@runic pendant Nice work! You're definitely getting some strong contrast to bring attention to the billboard. 👍

@wet thistle Aww, cute. Nice work! The brightness of the face in the middle pulls some nice focus to the image.
@grand dove That looks great! Really nice flow to the image.

[rare ocean]

Hey guys! Looking for feedback on Day 6. Can't decide on which is the stronger design. I am leaning towards the one on the right because of the contrast, but let me know what you guys think!

I want to thank@sterile bane and everyone here for being so welcoming and encouraging. I am a babe in the Adobe Creative Cloud but I am older than most, maybe all. 😃 I love learning, and I really appreciate being accepted and being in a place that fosters growth in my skills and creativity. This was my first challenge but it won't be my last. I am hooked. 🙃

Beam me up @raven atlas. And @high mesa what is that? An image made by a computer responding to audio ?

[bleak fossil]

@here Great work these past two weeks everyone! If anyone had a challenge for this DCC they didn't get feedback on and would like some, feel free to repost it and tag me. I'm going to try and give some feedback this weekend.

[high mesa]

@void ermine - yep, I did it as part of my masters research, it was tough to get it to work so you use a mixing desk to control design. The more you turn up an audio channel, effect or parameter, it causes the design to alter.

@bleak fossil - I posted a couple and didn't get feedback, so would appreciate any commentary/help on a couple of designs.

PsDCC7 Landscape Drama, finally got to work on this. So, is it too much drama? How can I improve it?

Challenge #7

Couldn't stop possessed by color

[bleak fossil]

@high mesa Hah, no problem! Glad to help. I think I actually gave feedback for the first image. I believe I said that I really love the bold colors and designs you have. And that I think maybe taking the texture off the text might give it a nice separation from all the texture on the portrait. Really cool looking.
The second image I think has some great contrast with the the red accent color around the page. Gives it a cool, dramatic look. Though I think the red could possibly be toned down in saturation and maybe brightness just a touch, and the figured brightened up slightly. This should really shift the focus more to the figure in the center, and less on the red around it, while still keeping a bold dramatic look. Here’s a quick example: Great work on these Mykul!

[high mesa]

@bleak fossil - I see what you mean, it lifts the main asset and pushes it to centre stage. The other image, I must have overlooked. Really appreciate taking time to do this for me.

[bleak fossil]

[fringe thicket]

Working hard on catching up, here's my poster for day 8 of the past challenge (at last!) 😅 Had zero time and even less inspiration. Would love to get feedback

[bleak fossil]

@wraith surge Great job, really like what you did with the sky and clouds! Currently the image seems quite bottom heavy. The sky has plenty of open room and the bottom seems a little cramped with the text so close to the border. Perhaps allow some extra room in the bottom and crop the top a bit more? I think the city could also use a little spot of light to make it stand out a bit more, and maybe a subtle gradient in the text to fit it in with the scene Here’s a quick example. Nice work!

@thorn geyser That’s a great idea, I like how you explored various different types of formats for your designs. I think it really helps you think about the potential context for the designs you create. Definitely good to consider when designing.

@cold cedar Looking good! It's always great to see the original image to see how much it changed. I think you definitely added a lot of drama, very cool look. In the thumbnail view the highest point of contrast seems to be the middle mountain peak right below the text. I think it might help to brighten up the text a bit, specifically the upper portion of "Thunder" to really have the text be the first read. Looks good!

@raven atlas Looks great Ess! The mock-up image is really cool and the image stands out very well. Very well integrated into the image as well, nice work!

@zinc lava Very nice! That really gives the images some nice contrast and more of a natural read.
@fringe thicket Very cool, really interesting effect you got on the flowers! I think the effect on the flowers is really cool, but currently a little intense. I think it could maybe look nice to tone down the opacity on the dot effect a little, and maybe add a light texture into the background as well. This might do a nice job of unifying that background and separating it for the text texture wise. Nice work!

[harsh charm]

Day #2 layers, shapes and colors. Trying to catch up and would be happy for some feedback.

[bleak fossil]

@plain sable Nice work! Great to see people catching up on challenges. Looks good!
@scarlet hill Great work! These are looking really good. One small suggestion would be to be careful about your cropping on the Day 3 poster. The bottom skull kind of makes an odd tangent with the border. Usually you want to give it a little more room or do what you did on the Day 2 poster which is overlapping the border over the shapes. But for Day 3 I think giving it a little more space will help. Nice work Luna!

@blissful magnet Welcome on in Nikki! Glad you could join us. If you'd like to join for more we'll be starting a new DCC tomorrow! It could be nice for one text to be bigger than the other for a little more visual hierarchy and interest. For example, if "Earth Day" was bigger and "Every Day" stayed that same that might give it a nice read. Well done!

[bleak fossil]

@pale lichen Mockup is looking great Darius! Looking forward to this new DCC!

@fringe thicket Nice work Chocolita! Looking good. Great work with these DCCs!

@dull tangle Well done Laurie, really liking that texture on Day 8 and the mockup for day 9 looks really solid. Very nice contrast with the brick wall background, really makes your poster pop. The background and text on Day 8 almost looks a bit busy, like the background design is competing with the text. Perhaps just lowering the opacity on the background graphics slightly? I don’t think much would be needed, but a subtle change might help the readability. Looks good!

@young karma Really cool idea for your mockup! I think a lot of these fit in nicely with that rustic aesthetic.

@magic rampart Looks really nice Jmada! I think perhaps the background saturation could be toned down just a touch so the bold red doesn't distract from your design. I think just a little bit of desaturation would make a nice difference.

@urban berry Looking good Cindy! Really love the mountain "Rise" image, really great flow and visual balance to that image. Day 6 is looking cool too, I think a slight gradient in the background might add a little interest?

[blissful wolf]

Finally completed day 9!

[languid comet]

Can someone change low ppi pictures to high ppi pictures?

[bleak fossil]

@woeful storm Reaaally nice, very solid color combo and texture with that rough red and yellow color scheme. Also loving the graphic style of that red hand, did you make that yourself? Only suggestions would be to perhaps make the white text a bit bigger (could always make it slightly darker if it draws too much contrast) and I think maybe move the hand so it doesn't make a tangent with the letter. I think either making it go behind the "H" slightly or overlap it a bit would help give it a little more depth. Awesome design!

@raven atlas Great job, looks really convincing! Even looks like you got a bit of reflected light in the top from the environment? Looks like it would work great in a large format like that. Well done!
@wraith surge Looks good! I think that balance works pretty well. 👍

@blissful wolf Very cool! I like the stark black and white look, works well for that image. Currently all the visual weight seems to be around the bottom and the text seems to be crowding the house a little bit. Perhaps moving the "come and get spooked" text up a little bit might give it some more breathing room between the house. Maybe just enough so that "spooked" crosses over the top part of the middle tower, but with the top of the tower still showing a little bit in the white space between "come and" and "spooked" if that makes sense. Nice work!

@cold cedar Reaaaaally liking that change, reads so much better. Great work!

@plain sable Nice work, looking good! Perhaps try using a blending mode for the green coloring of the wall so it maintains some of the lighting information of the original wall and looks a bit more natural? The green seems to compliment your image nicely, good job!

Here we are. I've never done this effect before. it's pretty neat

[mild pelican]

@supple lion looks cool! How did you do the folding effect?

[supple lion]

@mild pelican It's from this texture pack: https://graphicburger.com/5-folded-paper-backgrounds/

The first one is from here: https://graphicburger.com/5-wrinkled-poster-backgrounds/

In general I prefer to use photographic textures to add a layer of realism

For the folding one I created a mask where I darkened some of the areas around the folds on my sketch layer.

[short mica]

Having a major problem opening to stop p a t newest version of Photoshop Windows just not happening

[dire forge]

Here's my result. I skipped the gradient map and instead played with channel hue shifts. Neat effect, lots of possibilities.

[bleak fossil]

@magic rampart I think you could if you'd like. Currently there's a lot of contrast between the green frame and the red wall, both in value and in color. The bright frame and dark wall contrast, as well as the red and green. You could do a few things to tone that down, lighten the wall, desaturate the red of the wall, or darken down the green. The green seems a little unnaturally bright, perhaps you could apply a subtle gradient to it so the lighting looks more natural, and perhaps use a gradient that darkens it down a bit? I would just play with some of those ideas until you find a nice balance. Because currently the contrast of the red and green distracts from your actual image a little. I think some of those changes would balance it perfectly!

[mild pelican]

This was a cool technique to learn #newbie

[supple lion]

@mild pelican That's a great start! I think it would help to make it blend with some background, preferably some paper. Depending on what you like you could play with the pattern size to make the effect a bit more obvious, but if you're going for the subtle look it's perfect!

[blazing quail]

Never attempted this before, easy when you know how!

[mild pelican]

@supple lion thank you 🙂 I think it would look better with a background too but I couldn't find textures in my actions channel. Going to find a different way to add a background - any tips?

[supple lion]

@mild pelican Google's your friend! Make sure to check the usage rights on the images though. This would be a good start: https://www.google.com/search?q=paper+texture&tbm=isch&tbs=sur:fm

Then you can just copy/paste them into Photoshop!

[mild pelican]

got it - appreciate the help!

[hallow trench]

Did it!! but had some problems with hair strands and selection tool

[bleak fossil]

@hallow trench Looking really good! Definitely is getting that blue ballpoint pen effect. I think if you were able to somehow add some strokes breaking out of the edges of the figure it might make the hair strands seem more in place and give it a more hand drawn look. Well done!

@mild pelican Very cool! The cut out PNG format of this gives it a sort of drawn+cut out of paper look. Looking solid! The only thing I noticed is you missed cutting out some of the background on the bottom corners.

i didn't really follow the video just had an idea to how to simplify the prosses in the beginning after i assumed the whole prosses is similar to the first layer he the mentor has done. just have to give props Tim the mentor for showing me how to use color range witch in my opinion made the prosses way faster.

its important to me that the massage wont go unseen...

Day 1 - I had some challenges with this...not great but all i have time for now.

[slate wharf]

Yay! First Challenge!

[coral stone]

@fast moth I like the paper texture you added 😃

[cosmic sparrow]

I enjoyed learning these tricks. I couldnt figure out how to make it have that more "sketchy" look that the final practice picture did though.

[coral stone]

The sketch looks very realistic! Amazing job @cosmic sparrow

[eager scroll]

cant find texture under action window.. someone have a clue?

only Default actions

[coral stone]

@eager scroll 😃 https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/548246314383835146/603280417134739492/textures.jpg?width=371&height=500

[eager scroll]

wow, ty dude!

find it

lovely

[fallow bough]

Played with sketch pattern on the RBG channels separately and then added the color back in on each. Final is a blend using Difference. Other than for the hair, it gave me what I hoped to see.

[thick vale]

Hello!!!

[fallow bough]

Found a cheat. Painted the hair in the Blue layer mask 95% white.

[restive otter]

Day1 What to say?

[slate wharf]

@thick vale That looks Awesome!

[fallow bough]

@coral stone Had the same problem locating the Texture Actions so colorized a paper texture I had. Thanks for the work around. Much easier.

@wispy compass nice, it reminds me of the magic drawings you had to make reappear by scribbling over the paper.

Challenge #1 Add a drawing effect

[wide cave]

Had to stop a little early today so I'll work on it more later...

[tulip fern]

My day 1 entry. I must admit I got a bit carried away with al the nice effects and layers, so it is not realy the same outcome as was shown. I will try to replicate that as well, for the sake of practice 😃

[shadow mural]

My very first challenge posting.

[short mica]

Challenge #1 glad that's over 😰

[zinc lava]

Here is my day 1

[short mica]

@shadow mural Great feeling ? well-done

[shadow mural]

Thanks J Lewis. I am still figuring out how to navigate Discord. I really like your rendition. But, I don't know how to put an icon on your challenge.

[dire forge]

@spark wharf Excellent ballpoint pen effect, that notebook paper really sells it!

[short mica]

@shadow mural I'm new as well and tech-capped don't worry just keep trying different things and

[dire forge]

@kindred kernel I like the way yours came out!

[short mica]

@shadow mural and make mistake .....most imprtant have fun.......

[raven atlas]

Here's my contribution to Day 1 of this Photoshop Daily Challenge series. It took a bit of going back and forth, but it was worth it in the end... and I'll certainly be using this technique more.

[supple lion]

@short mica You forgot to invert the layer masks.

[raven atlas]

... and here's the original.

[young karma]

I wanted to also try this challenge with a second photograph so my husband picked one for me. 🙂

[hearty wharf]

hello all - day 1!! what fun, but i've got a bit carried away ... creepy lady coming up.

[kindred pendant]

Day 1 - So excited to learn this new trick ☺ Advice Plz

[gilded pelican]

Hi, this is my project, thank you so much for the support. #Jesus Ramirez tutorial was great! 😀

[tribal oak]

her hair was a mess so the edge detection brush thingy didn't work all that well 😂

[hearty wharf]

aaand - one with more contrast. still creepy!

@dire forge Thanks

Gave +1 Creative Carma to Amberly

[young karma]

Not sure which one to choose 🤔

[jade glade]

@Cris I love the second one and I love the flower😃

[young karma]

Original file

[fallow bough]

Still tweaking. Created by masking separate layers for the RGB channels, added sketch pattern to each and then colorized with their appropriate color (red, blue and green). Blending all three using Difference. over white background. Had to paint some mask levels on hair and glasses.

[glacial path]

@fallow bough Nice! I think the blue and green colors could be slightly darker to mimic the dark ink in ballpoint pens 😃 The effect itself is pretty convincing! I like it

@young karma You did a great job with the flower 😃 I also like the second version more because the shapes are more clear 👍 . The texture is pretty sublte, you could try out a more pronounced version ^^

@young karma using a gradient for the color is an awesome idea! I see you're going with the classic orange & teal color scheme 😄 Well done

@severe flame Woah! This actually looks like a charcoal sketch 😄 I think you should lighten the dark strokes where the source image is bright. otherwise you will lose the contrast 😃

@prisma raven I like how you have also added some text and rectangles to the composition 😃 I also like how the edges bleed out a bit - it adds just so much to the entire look!

[runic pendant]

how does the mentor feedback VC works?...

[glacial path]

@hearty wharf wait whaaa? This totally looks like a real sketch! I don't think it is creepy 😃 you could try using a different color to make it more friendly if you like. Blue, Sepia, dark green mabye?

@runic pendant we're not actively using it right now. but keep an eye out for a notification in the #📣creative-challenges tab.

[fallow bough]

@glacial path Thanks. Darkening is going to be a bit difficult as they were created by blending separate 100% Red, Green and Blue colorized layers. Because of the blending, using a darker green or blue actually increases the adjusted color's output. Since it works in reverse, I tried darkening the red but it threw off the hair and face tones.

[nimble shard]

[runic pendant]

np

[glacial path]

@fallow bough you could add a hue/saturation adjustment layer above the entire project and only target the greens and blues

then you could decrease the brightness

@tribal oak What a great photo! I totally dig the look 😄 Well done! I wish those two elements wouldn't be there - I guess you can't do a lot about it without retaking the photo or painstakingly masking it out by hand

[tribal oak]

@glacial path yea her hair was so fine against the white LOL

[bold valley]

Day 1 My results. You like?

[tribal oak]

@glacial path thank you i'll play around later when I'm not at work... i quickly took it as she was "steering" the shopping cart but she is such a ham she saw what i was doing and posed

[nimble shard]

@glacial path Thanks. That did it. Actually had to darken blue, green and cyan.

[glacial path]

@fallow bough noice 😄

[glacial path]

@bold valley you're on the right track! Just brighten it up a touch 😃

maybe you can also focus on the scribble effect and reduce the opacity of the original photo

[severe flame]

@glacial path thank you for reply!!　I'll try again my post with your feedback

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to evil

[silk valve]

Here is my original, follow along photo. I am not sure how happy I am with it. I'm going to try again with a photo of my own.

@chris I love both of your sunflowers!

[glacial path]

@kindred pendant I think you could soften the edges a bit 😃 This would make the effect more believable. You can also try reducing the saturation of the purple to make it look more like real ink

[wind viper]

Hello!~ Just joined today! First post, day 1 challenge! 😃

[candid wing]

Here is a second image from a personal photo

[glacial path]

@wind viper Nicely done! You should totally add some text next to her 😃

@candid wing Awww so cute ^^! Make sure to give that good boy some room to breathe. The ear is awfully close to the edge of the canvas and so is the paw. If you can, add some white space around the dog to balance the image 😃

[hallow trench]

@candid wing original photo already had that hair texture or you did it?

[candid wing]

@hallow trench This is the original photo. These are just effects on Photoshop that gives this result

@glacial path Thanks for the advice. You are right. I will work there

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to evil

@candid wing awwww it's so cute with or without filter

[candid wing]

@glacial path I think I corrected the image. I gave him more space 😅

[ashen estuary]

Decided to go avant-garde will be posting the entire collections at the end of the challenge

[sturdy vault]

I can't get one to work. I feel dumb.

[coral stone]

Don't worry @sturdy vault ! Take a break and come back to Ps later, also try to look at some references, it always helps 😄

[bold valley]

@glacial path Thanks. How 'bout this?

[floral root]

Let me know what you think

[jade glade]

@floral root it look awesome

[sturdy vault]

@coral stone. This is one I really wanted to learn. Everyone else's is great.

[coral stone]

@sturdy vault You can watch the replay as many times as you want and take notes, if necessary. I know every image is different but it's important to be patient and don't underestimate yourself, I'm sure everything will work out 😄

[dusty pond]

I think I did ok, but those watermarks are tough

[blissful wolf]

Day 1 - Drawing effect

[fallow bough]

@sturdy vault I found it best to follow Jesus a step at a time, pausing often and replaying some bits. He covered a lot in a very short time so it's easy to miss something without pausing to catch up.

[dusty pond]

the hardest part for me was the quick selection tool. It didn't work well around those watermarks

[ember frost]

First Photoshop Challenge! Really like this tutorial and the result of the effect. I decided to add some more neutral colors and playing around with composition.

[grave needle]

PSdailychallenge 1 - July 23, 2019

[cold cedar]

PsDCC1 - Drawing effect 072319 with images used. That was fun but took me a while.

[bleak fossil]

@bold valley Nice, I think those adjustments helped! I think you could brighten it up even more. Lightening up the overall image, especially lightening up the shadows can give it more of that drawn feel. A levels adjustment should help you play around with the lights, midtones, and shadows.

@floral root Very nice, the value adjustments alone are making this look like it’s drawn. I think if you added a sort of hatching texture it would push it even further into the hand drawn look. Nice work!

@ashen estuary This is a cool take on this challenge! Gives it a really interesting look while still having that heavy hatching texture feel to it. Looking good!
@candid wing The dog is looking good! The effect looks really nice, definitely gives the whole thing a hand drawn feel.

@dusty pond Oooh, nice, that hatching effect is looking solid! Yeah, the watermarks can be a bummer but it’s nice that you can try them out first and if you ever want to present it in a portfolio or something you can just license the ones you need or replicate the effect on another image. Nice work, I like how the background is showing through, really sells the effect.
@blissful wolf Very nice Beaneto! That texture effect is looking really good. It’s really just preference, but I think lightening up the shadows a little bit might give it a little more of that traditional/hand drawn look.

[void ermine]

I think this makes sense to me ... finally lol. Not sure about the imagery, but was fairly satisfied with the pen effect. Comments always welcome and appreciated. Thanks.

[sturdy vault]

@fallow bough Thanks for the encouragement. I will try tomorrow using the stock photo. Maybe that will work better.

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to Ken Cawley

[sturdy vault]

@coral stone. Thanks for the encouragement.

[void ermine]

@ember frost looks great! I’m struggling to figure out what to say about this but I do want to keep looking st it to figure it out. So that’s a good thing I think. I like the flowers blocking the face and the whole thing really. I think the circles work.

[jade glade]

@bleak fossil I can get a feedback from you.

[paper rapids]

first time doing a challenge!

[bleak fossil]

@jade glade It's looking really good! Really liking what you did with the decorative paper looking background. If I had to suggest anything it might be to make the girl a bit bigger to fill the frame more, and editing the background so the lighter white tones are where her face is. It might help bring more contrast into her face and make it a stronger focal point. Nice work!

[jade glade]

@bleak fossil Okay, thank you!

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to SamPetersonArt

[bleak fossil]

@grave needle Looks great! That texture and contrast is really selling the effect well! I think it could be a nice effect to let some of the hatching break out of the silhouette here and there. Might push that hand drawn feel even more.

@ember frost Very cool, I'm liking those graphic shapes! Almost makes it look like a mixed media piece with some graphics cut out over a drawing. Really nice visual balance to this image!

@grave needle Looks great! That texture and contrast is really selling the effect well! I think it could be a nice effect to let some of the hatching break out of the silhouette here and there. Might push that hand drawn feel even more.
@wind viper Ooh, nice work! Really selling that hand drawn effect nicely. The only thing I might suggest is using a textured brush on lower opacity to rough up the right edge of the hair slightly. Currently its the only part of the image that pops out and looks digital to me.

@silk valve Not a bad idea, I think trying challenges more than once really helps you get more comfortable with the technique. I think it's looking good! I think there's a few things you could try to give it a more hand drawn look. Lightening up the shadows a bit, letting some of the hatching go outside the lines, and maybe playing around with blending mores so the yellow paper shows through the drawing in some of the light spots. I think playing with some of those could help push that look a bit more. Nice work!
@fallow bough Very nice, those adjustments really helped! Cool effect, kind of looks like a drawing done with colored pencils. I think roughing up the edges slightly/letting some of the hatching break past the edges might give it even more of a hand drawn look. The edges are almost too perfect as is. Always great to see what you're working on Ken!

@young karma Wow, these looks great! Really loving that flower, really great texture and soft color palette. Great gradient on the first image too, though it might be nice if you can get the gradient to be a little more of a soft transition between the two colors.
@severe flame Really cool! Looks like broad pencil or charcoal strokes. I think it might help to lighten up the hatching in the lighter areas for a more natural look, and letting a little of the hatching break away from the edges in certain areas could sell the effect more. Currently it looks like a lot of it was done with broad sweeping strokes, so the edge being so perfect seems a little off. Or just looks like the edges were taped when it was being drawn. Nice work!

@prisma raven I like the contrast between the clean graphic text and the heavy texture of the hatching. The way you positioned the bold graphic elements balances really well with the dark patches of the drawing as well. Looks good!
@hearty wharf Ooh nice, looks a lot like a charcoal drawing! The texture you added works perfectly to look like a heavy textured paper as well. Great work!

@tribal oak I think the hair is the best part! Really like how you got that rough edge, looks really natural. I think it might be nice to get a little bit of that rough edge in the right shirt sleeve. Not too much, but just a touch so that it ties in with the rest of the image a bit more. Great work!

@raven atlas Ah that looks great! Really cool to see the original and what you did with it. I think it could be nice to see a little more of the hatching texture in the hair and shirt, but it looks great as is too. Well done 😄

[void ermine]

@eternal wagon I really like the cracked or scratched effect with be white lines over top of@the image looks really cool!

Thanks @eternal wagon ya it’s a combination of two diff photos I took. It started out as just trying to do the effect separately but they each looked like too much neg. space so I mashed them together lol.

[limber birch]

I would love to have some problem-solving feedback so I can revise this and not have to start over. I didn't understand channels and may have missed some related steps. When I did the image levels linked to the patterns, I couldn't get them as dark as I wanted. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

[jade glade]

@limber birch I did have problem with that to but you might have inverse red copy 2. It might help

And here is my day 01 where I tried to stick to the same result as was shown in the video. I drew the outlines with the brush I couldn't see how I could achieve this with channels, layers, patterns.

[tulip fern]

@restive otter Have you tried masking the cat so it is separate from the background? That way you might either remove the background all together and use the recycled paper texture or you could tone down the effect of the pattern on just the background so the cat pops out of the image. He deserves to get all the attention in the image right? You did achieved a nice drawing texture an I like the rich blue!

01

[young karma]

@pulsar walrus Me like both - they are different styles

[hard sable]

It is day 1.
I would appreciate it if you give feedback.😀

[void ermine]

@pulsar walrus I think the second image with the face in profile looks much more interesting

@small copper It looks like you did a great job with the pattern over top but if you want it to look more like the drawing effect you should turn off the layer with the image on it and place a blank white one over top of it if you haven’t already done that from following the tutorial.

It will make the lines more visible

[tulip fern]

@ruby panther It was tough but you did it! Looks great, the texture is almost like English tweed. One thing that I can think of might make it stronger is to pull back in details of the face and expecially the eyes. For as far as I can see through the scratches I guess she has strong eyes, would be great to see them draw attention in your image.

[pulsar walrus]

@lime ridge nice but the things are much sharp like birds and tree area if you will use oil paint effect or other filters will help

[void ermine]

@hard sable It looks really great ! I’m surprised that an image with so much detail looks good with with this effect, good job! If you’re looking to do something else to it I would try and add more contrast and see what it looks like. Wont know if it will look better or worse until you try. If you look at it though you have mostly mid tones in the buildings. There’s no areas that are really bright and no areas that are really dark. It looks like a cloudy day. There are shadows and highlights but not like there would be on a sunny day 🌞

[wicked nexus]

good morning everyone this might be a dumb question but did Jesus create this layer in Solid Color under adjustment layer?

is with the yellow high light

@bleak fossil thank you so much for you feedback!

[high mesa]

This was difficult;

[ember frost]

@pulsar walrus both of your entry looks really nice. They both have different style. If I had to pick I like the second one more because there some interesting abstract lines going on in background and even though the woman placing the center but she fills the space and looking side makes visually more interesting compare First one.

@high mesa You did a great job! The effect and the background you chose makes it feel like a very detail under painting. I don’t know how I feel about the font, maybe something that feels n match like brush strokes. This just my opinion.

[high mesa]

@void ermine - man your effort is cool, bold ideas, like how you scaled the aseets

[pulsar walrus]

@ember frost appreciated your feed back, 😍 1st one with extra space is as per 3rd role of photography

[ember frost]

@high mesa Lol I agree, I had to playback the video several time to fully understand. I had to consider Jesus only had 20 minutes.

[high mesa]

@ember frost - totally, I have suggested that less emphasis is given to intros, which could give a few more minutes. Man, he did a great job getting thro' a heavy technique...especially in 20 mins!

[magic rampart]

@wicked nexus are you finding it's a different icon when you do the solid colour adjustment layer? I got the same!

[ember frost]

@eternal wagon This is a very lovely work you did. I love the texture is much more emphasis with darker contrast on her hair and clothes. Keep Everything grey tone is good choice. I think what drawn me is the white scratching lines. It can be easily over done, but you keep to minimal and the overall minimal seem to work for this piece.👍🏻

@void ermine very good work! I love the high contrast of the blue and white. And the three objects on top and placed very balance and gives it some depth since they varies in size.

My Day 2, removing elements

[west birch]

Oops! I meant to upload this one. I removed the light fixture and mirror, and a string on the shade. I enjoyed this tutorial. I am a newbie to PS CC.

[sturdy vault]

Hurray, I finally got it to work. Now to get one of my images to work. Wish me luck.

[wicked nexus]

At some point, I'll add a bit more freehand sketchiness around the edges, but here's my day 1 challenge for now. (Photo by Jess Keener.) Loved this challenge, @lethal mural ! Thanks for teaching the pattern technique.

The guy's butt, the sign in the trees were all easy to remove, but the mic was hard. Not really happy with the hair on his neck.

Day 2 Challenge. Difficult to see, but the people are removed.

[hard sable]

It is day 2. But I erase all people except 2 people.😆
And I made horizon.

Day#2 Challenge (I used the clone stamp tool as well because it was tough to remove the people further in the photo with Fill) Feedback please! Thanks @lethal mural for teaching this very useful technique in such a simple way 😃

Great job @shadow mural! My only suggestion is to refine this area on the right. You can use the Clone Stamp Tool and fill with grass 😃 Well done!

Thank you @ember frost . I thin kit is time that I start to think of monitor color callibration. The image indeed looks more saturated on f.i. my phone. Thanks for pointing this out to me.

@thick vale WOW - nice splash and shadow 😍 wish I knew how to do that - just wondering where the splash is coming from when he did not reach the water yet ? 😍

Day #2 Retouch A Portrait

[shadow mural]

I made further adjustments to this image. My original post cropped out too much of the adjustment in the lower right of the photo. Original is on the right and adjusted is on the left.

[fallow bough]

Decided to go a step further to see if I could also realistically remove the pen and paper.

[uncut ginkgo]

very nicely done @fallow bough !

[fallow bough]

@uncut ginkgo Thanks. It's one of my favorite Ps past times. Doing these challenges has taken me past doing everything with the clone brush.

@fallow bough nice work but if you look closely the are you cleared have some blur areas as well repetition if you tried to fix will great 😇

Day2 challenge: So I intentionally chose a more challenging photo to work on hoping to further advance the techniques. But I really enjoyed today’s challenge 😊 Please let me know if you find anything I should improve or fix! Always open to opinions 💬

[coral stone]

Awesome job @lone frigate!

[wicked nexus]

@magic rampart yes I was tripping really bad at the beginning I even did this challenge 3 times because the first time was horrible but i didn't 😖 give up. and I kinda figure out thinks my own way!

@unkempt field where can I get this postcard 😍😍😆😆

[ember frost]

Before and after. I wanted doing something fun and silly and little bit surreal.

[jade glade]

Redo for first the retouch, before and after. I want it to make it a little dramatic.

[shadow mural]

@jade glade, Awesome job of getting rid of distractions. I find the lens flair on her hair a bit distracting, and the rose needs more red or maybe not there. My eye is really drawn to it, trying to figure out if it's a black rose or not, and if it matches her hair. However, I like your after much better than the before.

[urban berry]

Hello everyone, here is my Day 1 challenge, feedback is welcome.

[jade glade]

@shadow mural Thank you for the feedback! But the len flair... do u mean at the end of her hair ? And have the rose a light red or deep red color?

Challenge # 2

[scenic anchor]

Here is my day 1 with my photo. It seems too dark. I am not sure if it is because of the photo I am using or if I am doing something wrong? Thank you for any input.

[bleak fossil]

@unkempt field Well done! The levels and colors adjustment look great. It gives the whole image a nice blue/orange contrast and more appealing feel. If you wanted to push it even further it could be nice to edit out the people at the base of the lighthouse to give the image a really clean look. Nice job :D
@bold valley Very nice clean edit! It all looks very clean, from inside the cup, to the rim, to the background. Nice work!
@lone frigate Wow, great work! This is definitely a great image to try out this challenge with and you nailed it. It's an edit that really adds to the impact of the image as well. Well done!
@scenic anchor If you wanted to lighten it up I think it could be good to play around with a levels adjustment. Brightening up the darkest tones a little might add to that traditionally drawn look. I think allowing some of the hatching to go outside the edges to rough up them up a bit might also add to that effect. I’m liking how you have the background tone showing through, that definitely add to the drawn look as well!

@pastel sapphire Nice seamless edits! I really like the edit of the purse strap and stop light. The stop light being gone definitely seems to make a nice impact especially at a glance in the thumbnail. Very well done.

[scenic anchor]

Thank you @bleak fossil I will try your suggestions.
