Getting a late start on Jesus July challenge this is all my attempts on adding a drawing pattern to image.Started with class example then had a go at my own photo
added a moss pattern as wellas sketch marks also used Grutbrushes art surface.

@unreal hornet Very nice! I think the key to getting the shadows to look right is mainly the perspective and color of the shadows. Luckily you have a nice reference for both in the original glass. Since I don't have the original file and layers here's a rough paint-over to illustrate it. Hopefully that helps a little. These types of images can be tricky when you have to match the perspective. Great work on the transparency of the glass BTW!

So I went back to the Day 1 Challenge to try and get more hatching on her clothes. It showed up when I moved the hatching around, so I thought I'd make a gif out of it.
One thing I just realised that I didn't do was go to the color channels... hmmmmm. I probably need to go to bed. After all, it is 3:15 💤

Day 6 of the photoshop challenge. Should I try to darken the image a little bit as well as incorporate some text ?
plush osprey
It was difficult to get the bottle as transparent as Jesus example. Creating the bottle shadow was also challenging. Any comments?
bleak fossil
@fiery trail Nice work Ish! I think the brightness of the image is working really well. I think perhaps the bottle's shadow could be adjusted to fit the color and perspective of the shadow of the starfish. Here's a quick example. I selected the bottle, made a new multiply layer, and filled in the selection with a blue/green that I though matched the shadow of the starfish. Of course the bottle is a transparent blue, so that would likely be the color of the shadow anyway. I then pressed ctrl+shift to grab the top control of the selection and drag it down to fit the perspective and direction of the shadow of the starfish. I also blurred the shadow slightly. I then created a mask on my multiply layer and faded out the top of it, and a little of the inside. Since it's a transparent bottle, the shadow wouldn't be as dark or intense. Hopefully that's helpful!

@wind viper I love how realistic your picture is. Can you tell how you did the "chill" effect please ?

@wind viper I really like the typography and the image looks fun, but I feel like the glass could be edit to be transparent like in the video. But great work looks very cool!
bleak fossil
@wind viper Wow! Great choice of an original image, your additions fit really naturally with it! Also really like how you handled the text, it all looks very cohesive. Great work on the shadow too, very impressive! My only suggestion is giving the glass a small shadow or something where it digs into the sand. It seems like there should be a simple dark line or something like this:
You really nailed this one, great work!
wind viper
@jade glade Thank you! Sure, all of them just came from playing around inside the blending options, I used 'stroke','drop shadow', and 'pattern overlay'. Try them it's fun!
@ember frost Thanks! The glass is transparent, but it's not that obvious since it's really near the background( which is the sand) that makes it look like it's not transparent

@wicked nexus I think the main issue I'm seeing is a rough looking selection. If you still don't think it looks natural after fixing that then a little color correction often goes a long way. Try checking out the 14:00 mark on the Day 3 challenge here about expanding or contracting the selection to make it cleaner and avoid the white outlines: https://www.behance.net/live/videos/2979/Photoshop-Daily-Creative-Challenge-03 and this video is great for nuanced selections as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2I7X92IVGk&list=PLD8AMy73ZVxUuKFHp5BTdVKW37-k6Qhcj&index=3&t=0s

@hallow trench Challenge #5 is looking good! I think the color gradient and font you chose is really effective. Great contrast against the moon too!
@short mica Hah, nice work! I like how the girl on the right is looking at it. I feel like maybe the top of the bottle could be a bit brighter and warmer to fit in with the lighting of the rest of the image a touch more. Looks good though!

@wind viper I totally understand you.
bleak fossil
@bold valley Great work Ralph! I like how you tried this technique with a different object and scene. It looks like you did something to the top of the glass to make it fit the lighting, really nice job. I think perhaps the shadow on the left side of the glass could be lightened up a bit as there would likely be more light hitting that side. Currently it looks a little too deep in shadow on that side. Might help it fit in the image even more.
@gilded pelican Nice, I really like the concept behind this design! Great use of the challenge. I think the bottle could use a little space between the frame, currently it’s cropped a bit oddly and makes for a bit of a tangent. It’s also hard to tell if it’s supposed to be sitting in the sand or sort of floating below the text as part of the ad and not directly in the scene. If it’s in the sand I’d add a cast shadow like the rest of the object have, and if it’s floating it might help to raise it up a bit more. Nice work!
@raven atlas Hah, nice job Ess! I think perhaps the distortion of the wooden boards behind the bottle could be adjusted a bit. Currently there’s part of the crack between the boards that’s unaffected, but then the seam breaks off and gets all wobbly. I’d try connecting the lines so it’s one single seam, and maybe making the distortion a bit more subtle. I also thing a cast shadow might help plant it in the environment a bit more. Looking good!
@hallow trench Really nice, selections look pretty solid! It might just be me, but the way there's a darker blue at the bottom of the gradient of the sky kind of makes it look like there's dark clouds down really low, or even almost looks like the ocean far away, hard to tell. The gradient might look more natural with the lighter part at the bottom and slightly darker at the top. Just a thought. Nice job!
@wicked nexus Really great adjustments on the sky replacement challenge Dama! Looks really natural and gives the image a very different mood. Great work on the color correction as well.
@urban berry Looking good Cindy! I think in this particular image the blur wouldn’t be quit so intense since the vehicle behind her is so close. Typically you see that more intense depth of field on objects further behind the subject. Maybe reduce it to the lower level of blur we’re seeing around the bottom of the image, that looks a bit more natural. Nice work on the selection by the way! I’m not sure if you used the refine edge tool on the hair but that might help soften up the selection as seen in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2I7X92IVGk&list=PLD8AMy73ZVxUuKFHp5BTdVKW37-k6Qhcj&index=3&t=0s
@plush osprey Nice work! I really like how you matched the shadow color to that of the dragonfly, looks good! I think it might help to not have the bottle so close to the edge of the frame. It's a bit awkward compositionally and might help to give it a little more breathing room. Also, if it helps I gave Ish an example of how I like to do drop shadows right below your original comment on this challenge. Might help to sharpen the edges of the shadow up a little bit to match the dragonfly's shadow a bit closer. Great work 😄

bleak fossil
@neat shale Ahh, really great photos for this! Love how you chose for the sunset to be coming through the bottle, great idea. Really solid work overall. I wonder if the water bottle could use a levels adjustment to increase the darks, but then masked out near the top so just the lower portion has deeper darks. I think the top looks good but the bottom of the bottle near where it's touching the ground seems like maybe it could be darkened down to match the contrast of the dock it's sitting on, if that makes sense. Would be very subtle, but might give it that extra layer of realism. Great job!
neat shale
@bleak fossil Thank you! I felt like something was missing but couldn't figure it out, thought it was more shadowing on the outside but you're right there needs to be more dark layer masks on the inside lower portion. thank you so much!!!

Thanks for your feedback, mate.
Yeah, I kinda knew I needed to go back to it, specifically to the Liquify tool (of which I'm a fan, just not for this project).
Also, I had included a shadow, but because there is no sun, I kept it quite faded. I still haven't brought it up too much.
Again, thanks for your feedback. Lemme know what you think now.

@neat shale Very nice!
@sturdy vault Rocking! I think all you need is to brighten the bottle top some.
shadow mural
@cold cedar It is really cool. An improvement might be the shadow on the glass should be angled. It should look like the glowing light is the source for the shadow. It currently is directed straight toward the viewer with no convincing light source. Maybe you can see the shadow from the glowing light is really strong and angled. The shadow from the bottle is different from that shadow. I hope that makes sense. However, I really like the composition, and coloring and seeing through the bottle.
lethal mural
@cold cedar I would make the shadows warmer. So add yellow to the shadows. She how the shadows are warm in the background? You can use the Selective Color adjustment layer for that. Which is the adjustment layer that we will work with in tomorrows stream!

@high mesa great job! Looks like it could be an actual beer ad
void ermine
@high mesa that’s one big beer lol. Nice job integrating the bottle. I think the lighting and transparency effects look good. The cast shadow looks off to me though. I sometimes have a tough time with them but I think when the shadow goes off the edge of the building it would go down the side, along the road and then up the building. Now it looks like it goes straight out into the air. Does that make sense ?
Ya just did little experiment here
I think you can see the shadow on the napkin stack going vertically.
@hard sable it looks like you adjusted the focal plane to make the string of lights closer to the subject in focus which I think looks good. But the other wire on top of it would also be in focus then. It’s based on how far away it is but all on one angle or plane. Like imagine a piece of glass vertically moving away from the camera. Everything on that plane would be in sharp focus. And things in front and behind would progressively get out of focus. The angle of the glass doesn’t need to be vertical if your trying to do a tilt shift blur effect. Sorry if you k ew that. I Don’t mean to be condescending but figured someone else would benefit either way 😃
hard sable
@void ermine That’s okay. Focus is very hard..😭 I tried tilt shift blur effect. It is second picture. But I think I use it timidly. And I think it's kind of ambiguous, so I'll try to fix it again. Thank you for your feedback anyway.

lethal mural
@hallow trench The blur layer is set to 61% opacity. That might be too low for you to see the colors. The blur effect will disappear just leaving behind the colors. You just have to fine-tune the blur. For your second question. Your layers are not smart objects. you need to right click on the layer and convert it into a smart object.

It seems that in challenge 6 @novel flare is using direct adjustments instead of adjustment layers. Am I seeing this correctly? Why not use adjustment layers?

tropic ivy
hallow trench
@lethal mural but even if i set it on 100% i'm still missing the blur effect. Could it be due to my layers not being smart objects?
When the layer is normal, blur effect is clear, but when i adjust it to "color" , blur is missing.
Or maybe i'll choose different elements and re-do it again. Maybe this elements are a bit complex?
lethal mural
@hallow trench Yeah, the blur effect will disappear with color. Because you are only keeping the color. That's what happened on mine. you should see the colors maybe the effect is subtle on your image because the glass and the table are white. So it wouldn't show a big change. But it sounds like you are doing it right

Day 7 challenge

So I've slightly reduced the overall intensity (thanks, for the suggestion, @gilded pelican). I've also desaturated the subject's red trainers a little and added a bit of grain to the whole image. Hopefully, it's a little more pleasing to the eye.
Oh yeah... those adjustments made me also take another look at the 3D text; the bevel direction was set to down instead of up. I also took some of the brightness off, so it would better blend with the adjustments made on the image. I tell you, these challenges really open your mind up! So does constructive feedback.

Though I wonder if taking the color grading off the glass reflection of the window might make it look more natural, as if the lights in the reflection are still a normal color. Looks solid!
@blissful badge Nice work Leslie! The droid is looking solid, really makes it pop. The karate guy looks good too, it just looks like his sleeve could use a little clean up where the color pass seemed to miss. Might also be nice to add a bit of a vignette to the image too so the white space doesn't feel quite as empty and directs focus to the figure. Though that might depend on the feel you prefer.

Running a bit behind here again. So I did kind of a different idea with the bottles. I took an image and tried to put it inside the bottle instead of behind. Most of the techniques worked great so thanks @lethal mural - awesome stuff . It got a bit complicated as there were extra layers to deal with the image inside the bottle and the background image - which I decided to just go with something simple and made it a poster. I feel like I cheaped out a bit with the background, but I wanna get this done lol.

@urban berry love the day 3 piece! I wonder if the girl would pop more if you desaturate the bold colors in the top left corner? I say that because my eyes go to the girl and then straight to the corner and my focus should probably stay on her

young karma
@cosmic sparrow either saturate the background or desaturate the cup, right now they seem very out of place
cosmic sparrow
@young karma I definitely get where you are coming from.. I wasnt so much trying to have it blend and look natural. If that makes sense. Kind of wanting the hand to really just stand out against the background.
young karma
Try blurring the background then, might look better than washing all colors out of the background
Also, it looks like you've put a drop shadow below the hand, do the same for the other elements, the cup and coffee, to make it stand out even more
cosmic sparrow
@young karma Ok, i just blurred the bottom of the hand, which i think looks a bit nicer. Ill blur the background more.. and Ok to the shadow! Thanks!

@fast moth I love how vibrant everything is 👍 The selection is pretty clean! Here is one very minor thing you could improve: there is a super thin white line around the shoe
@fast moth to fix this, you can select the shoe and pick this filter:
@kindred kernel You did a great job with the contrast! The shoe looks very crisp and the colors are punchy! I think you can add some saturation to the sparks 😄
@young karma ah! the classic orange-teal look 😃 I don't think you have to go with such a rich and vibrant skin tone. You can bring it back just a bit to make it look more natural. The background is just lovely! Now if you could combine the background blur of the previous challenge with this one.... hmmm 😉
@cosmic sparrow yes, like Yazeed mentioned I would get rid of the drop shadow. The saturation of the hand is not too bad but the liquid is just to dark 😃 But I love the pastel colors in the background so you should totally keep them!
@wind mason Now that's an interesting idea - pretty abstract 😄 . I think you should tale a closer look at the lighting of your scene. The white bears are a bit too bright - the shadows could also be darker
blend modes could be the way to go
especially the multiply blending mode 😃
@hallow elk wow! well done - this looks pretty much photorealistic! maaaaybe the shadow caused by the transparent plastic could be a bit brighter and the bottle cap could slightly darken the shadow

@hearty karma Nice job! the texture looks great and the colors are on point! I think you could add a subtle texture to the background just so it's not pure black 😃

@cosmic sparrow Very nice! The way you structured the format of the image and the faded background looks like there should be some sort of text, like this would be an advertisement somewhere. The space to the sides almost looks too unused as is. So I'd say try adding some text or maybe give it a tighter crop and allow the background to be less faded. Really nice job on this image!
@regal prawn Haha, nice work. It could be cool if some of the hard edge around the speed blur parts was broken up and warped into the blur. I think in a product image it's good to keep the whole product in tact but it might work better with this image. Looks good!
@void ermine I think without the sparks works pretty well since everything is in a more calming blue tone and the sparks might not quite fit the image as well. I think perhaps the shoe could pop a little more. Maybe by using a levels adjustment to boost the lights, and darkening down the background slightly? Nice work 😄
@mint kayak Nice! The bolder tones definitely give the image a nice feel
@wispy compass Nice work Babsams, there's definitely a noticeable contrast between the warm and cool colors. I think a levels adjustment could really help this image to draw more clarity and focus into the main subject by boosting the lights up.
@jade glade Really cool! Great animation effect, really neat to see someone take it in that direction. Love the consistent color palette too! It might be nice to have a frame or two show the entire shoe unobstructed , so the whole product can be seen a bit but still have that cool effect coming in and out.

@void ermine Cool idea with your color grading challenge 😃 Maybe nice to try that myself as well.

@jade glade More like fitting in a frame or two where you can see the whole shoe unobstructed. Currently there's always an effect on the back of the shoe so the view never gets to see the whole thing. So it might look good to have a quick couple frames where the effect flashes off and then right back on. So you still get a cool effect but get to see more of the product. Just a thought, not quite sure how it would look without seeing it.
@ember frost Whoa, nice work! Really great concept with the flames and sparks representing the color and style of the shoe. The black background really helps the shoe stand out in a very effective way. Great job!

@hearty karma Well done! It's always fun to try something a little different and challenging. Really nice job on the warp inside the glass. Maybe the dark lines between the wood could be a bit more blurred or faded to a less dark color? I feel like the tea might cloud the details in the wood in that way a bit, perhaps on the straw a bit as well. Might also help to extend that dark color towards the bottom a little bit more. Looks good!

@gilded pelican i would recommend to zoom in on his/her face really close and use the quick select tool with the + and - to get select what you want to crop. another way to get the details is by using the using the short cut Q, it turns everything red but what you want to crop out. you can correct your crop but painting with white to add to your crop and black to remove from your crop. I also cut out the whiskers when they are out like that. i just follow the head shape. i used my last work to show you how the shortcut Q works. tell me if you don't understand me. if possible you can message me.

Decided to combine Days 8 and 9.
@young karma I had the same problem. Tried resizing the PSD file because I kept crashing the Save for Web due to running out of memory (wishing I went with 32GB instead of 16 when I bought the PC). I found closing all the programs, including Ps and then just opening the PSD freed up enough memory to resize in Save for Web..

@bold musk Looks really nice! I'm not sure what to critique because I'm not sure what you did, but I think it looks cool. I like the tattoos, the exaggerated colour and brightness and shiny shoes. I think the typeface works, but I thin it could be higher. There's a lot of neg. space on the top left. That may leave too much neg. space between the text and the black stuff - which also looks cool. So creating another problem to solve there. The quote ' for special women' and 'seviller' I'm not sure if that's a real company or what, but it sounds like.. I'm not sure ... sometimes special can mean special, and sometimes it seems like a sarcastic 'special' I'm not sure how it comes across here. But overall, I think it has a pretty rad kind of vibe and works pretty well despite what I may have sounded like here.. trying to come up with things i'm unsure about to hopefully help you out 😃

@gilded pelican Looking good! I think the text/water could even be scaled up a bit more to really make it the focus of the ad. Maybe something like this to really push it as the focus a bit more: (I also brightened the water bottle slightly)
@wet thistle Nice work Carry, I’m liking that repeated yellow color through the image, gives it a nice balance! I feel like the background being darkened down a bit more help the focus onto the shoe. It doesn’t have to be much, but a slight adjustment might make the two images compete a touch less. Nice work!

@wind viper Very cool! I've used Photoshop for simple GIFs before but it was interesting to see how it can be used for smoother object animation as well.
Also great work on your entire DCC project! Really cool to see everything you’ve done the past two weeks. Well done!
@high mesa Haha, I was wondering if one of these would have audio. I realized I automatically expect it when seeing a video or animation. Did you use Photoshop for the audio? Just realized I'm not even sure if Photoshop supports that or not. Love the color scheme too!
@willow idol Really solid looking! I like the color scheme on this, that blue/green color is looking good. Might be a nice look to darken it down a touch to make the shoes pop even more? Also really nice job with the blur behind the shoes, adds a cool effect without being too overpowering. It might also look nice to scale the shoes up slightly, make them a bit more of a dominant element in the image. Looks good!

@hallow trench Really nice work with the color scheme and the sparks! I like how you matched the text color to the shoe, very nice.
@hallow elk Definitely pushes the contrast and bold feel of the image. Nice work!
@gloomy marsh Looking good! Nice work on the Lion King and water bottle challenge! It could be nice to see the Lion King image with a subtle gradient. Maybe something that goes slightly darker and more red at the bottom, and brighter at the top. Might push that feeling of contrast and make it pop a bit. Water bottle looks solid as well! I’d just have the crop of the image so that it gives a bit more space to the bottom of the water bottle. Currently there’s a bit of a tangent there where it cuts off. Well done!
@cosmic sparrow Oooh, nice work! I’m liking the edits on the coffee image. The text definitely seems to fit with the background you have. I’m not great when it comes to typography, but I wonder if a subtle gradient on the brown text could help? Maybe somewhere where it gets slightly lighter at the top? Just a thought. Nice work!
@fallow bough Very nice Ken! It's really interesting to see how much can be done with just Photoshop. I think in terms of this being an advertisement the shoe could maybe use a levels adjustment to brighten it up a bit, and maybe something done with the colors just to make it really pop out and look good. Well done! Also really nicely done with the man on the sidewalk, haha. Lots of good movement there.
@blazing quail Great work Ant! Definitely seems like a whole new workflow to learn once you introduce animation. But really cool to see how much versatility Photoshop has. One suggestion I think might help would be to slow the text down slightly. It seems like it might be good to have each block of text pop up at a natural reading speed. Might make the whole thing flow a bit better. Well done!
@young karma Wow Cris, lots of elements going on this bird animation, nice work! If you wanted to add even more it could be nice to see a subtle pulsating of that background glow while the bird is flying forward. Might give the whole thing a more dynamic feel with animation in both the background and foreground. Looks good!
@neat shale Very nicely done on Day 6! Looks really solid. If I had to nitpick anything it might be that the text looks a little crowded being so close to the edge. A little more room between the edge and text might help.
@blissful badge Really nice work Leslie! Really glad you could join us for this DCC! It could give the animation a more natural look to have the first balloon still drifting slightly at the point where it currently stops. So the stop feels a little less abrupt and static. Just a thought. Nice work with all the masking as well!
@viral ibex Really nice, looks like you were able to play with a lot of different elements for keyframing. Nice work Dee!
@kindred kernel Nice work Gerard, you got some nice motion in there! Might be nice to have the text/image at the end match the color scheme of the animation for a more cohesive feel. Looks good!
@bold musk Really like the bold red and black you have repeated in the image! Nice cohesive look to the whole thing. It's a small nitpick, but the area underneath the shoes looks a bit visually confusing. The kind of light blurry area seems like it might read better if it was just a shadow. Really liking that white background by the way, works really well.
@gilded pelican In regards to the cat face, it seems like some simple selection refinement might help. I personally found this quick little video extremely helpful in getting a nice clean selection. Specifically the step where they use the "refine edge brush tool" vis the quick selection tool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2I7X92IVGk&list=PLD8AMy73ZVxUuKFHp5BTdVKW37-k6Qhcj&index=3&t=0s
@wide cradle Very nice, definitely a cool approach for this challenge! I'm liking that smooth transition from one design to the next.
@willow idol Looks good, I like the theme you went for! The main issue I see is that the text and orange graphics seem to be contrasting more than the shoe itself. That orange is a strong contrast against the blue, but the sort of neutral color of the shoe isn't, and also the value of the shoe is really close to the value of the blue. Maybe try and see if you can increase the contrast between the shoe by darkening the background, lightening the shoes with a levels adjustment, fading out the graphics behind the shoe a little, or some combination of these adjustments. Nice job!
@pale lichen The 3D text and water bottle images are looking really nice, great job! I really like how you masked the text behind the girl a bit, but I think you could push it further. At a glance it reads more like a tangent with how the upper part of the "S" is touching her side. Might sell the effect and depth more if you move the text a couple more notches to the left. And the bottle looks great, the only thing is it looks like there's a small selection at the very bottom of it that could be cleaned up. Good stuff Darius!

Here's my take on Day 9 Challenge, need to work on the timing and get the ship going in the right direction! 😃 Uploaded as .gif, mp4
file was too large.
bleak fossil
@young karma Looking good! I like the little addition of the sparks on the top area like it's scraping a wall or something. Really nice contrast of the shoe against the background as well. It might help to scale up the texture in the background to fit the whole image. Nice work!
@unkempt field Nice, you got a lot of good motion in there. Timing is definitely the key in antimation, but once you figure out the tools you can really go deep into really fine tuning timing. Liking the addition of the text too! It might be nice to cut to the text before the animation in the previous scene stops to give it a more natural look.

@blazing quail No problem! Nice work on this!
@thorn geyser Really great design! Loving the neon colors, and the background you chose fits perfectly with that theme. The cool background colors really makes the shoe pop too. I really like the pixelation idea, but I feel like you could push it even further. Maybe vary the size of some of the pixels a bit, and have some trailing off a little further, and above and below the blur effect to give it a more randomized breaking apart look. Either way it's looking solid!
scenic anchor
@wind viper Your work is excellent and I really love your layout/presentation in Behance.

Day 9 completed the challenge! Had alot fun!
bleak fossil
@loud urchin Wow, awesome job! Everything is very well done, from the lighting, to the text, the depth, etc, really great work, the whole image fits together very cohesively!
@fast moth Hah, very nice and clever use of this challenge! I haven't tried it, but I wonder if it's possible to keyframe masking so that the fireball disappears into the portal. If not I suppose it could be possible to duplicate part of the background right where the portal begins and have the fireball disappear behind that. Either way, great job!
@young karma Nice work Cris, looking solid. Definitely cool to see all those elements come together.
@hidden pendant Great work Trish! That blur really draws focus to the girl on the horse very well. The only small nitpick I have is that the blur seem to come on very abruptly on the bottom left side. The grass doesn't seem to have any blur, then the gate suddenly looks fully blurred. It might help to have a more gradual transition, maybe where the line of the grass and dirt already start to have a slight blur at that point. Nice work!
@ember frost Nice movement on the animation! I like how you used some variation in speed to make the jump over the moon look convincing. I think it might be nice for the animation at the bottom over the text be more gradual over the course of the whole animation. Might add to the calm mood of the subject matter a bit more. Looks good!
ember frost
@bleak fossil thank you for tip! I will give that a try!

Day 9 completed ! 💓

@jade glade Haha, you went all out with this one! Was this all done in Photoshop? You nailed it. That text looks fantastic by the way! Cool to see techniques from multiple challenges coming together into one epic animation. 👍
@gloomy marsh Really great work on the challenges with the shoe and the punching bag guy! Couple thoughts for both: The blue-orange contrast on the punching bag guy is working well, but the skin almost seems a little too unnaturally orange tinted. I think maybe if those warm tones were eased off in the shadow areas it might fit a little more. Also the shoe looks great, it could be cool to see some of the sparks extend out even a little further from the background. Well done!

@forest ivy Aww, hah, nice job with this! Really good smooth motion with the butterfly, I like how you used the flip horizontal function in this, works extremely well. I feel like I can picture this having some sort of subtle calming or playful music in the background. Great work 😄
@urban berry The subtle blur works really well! It really draws focus into her while still looking natural and not too heavy. The color contrast does a great job of that as well. I like it!
@hearty karma This looks great, really cool to see how you took a fairly monochromatic image and got a nice blue-orange contrast between the figures and the background. From a photography perspective it definitely helps highlight the figures and adds a really nice dramatic feel. Very nice!

glacial path
@thorn geyser nice! The colors look epic! but I think you should add some orange to the highlights since the sky is orange 😃
@thick vale I love it! The blue glow could be a touch brighter at the beginning. Which blending mode are you using? Maybe try the color dodge blend mode 😃

Day 9 - In progress....Thank you @lethal mural for hosting this challenge, I have learned a lot!
bleak fossil
@hearty karma Very nice! Really liking that color theme you got going! Great blur effect too, the whole thing looks really solid. Just a couple small suggestions I think could help would be maybe making the shoe a bit bigger and the text a bit smaller to really highlight the shoe as the focal point. The second thing would be to mask out the background cracks around the shoe blur area. Due to the blur's brightness the cracks become much more apparent and compete with the blur effect. Might be nice to fade the cracks out in that area with the blur. Really nice work!
@thick vale Awesome fluid motion with that animation! Nice job on the masking too!
@thorn geyser Ooh, really cool feel to this image! I think if you darkened the background slightly, and made it a warmer color it might fit in with the sky more naturally, especially on the highlights of the water. Usually during a sunset everything gets cast with a warm tint. It might also help pop the character out if there's more of a warm/cool contrast between the figure and surround environment. Really nice job on this, very cool! Here's a general example of the adjustments, not perfect but hopefully it gets the idea across:
@wet thistle Great work, you got some great smooth motion going on there! All the elements you layered look really nice together as well. I feel like maybe the "Happy Birthday" text could use a little more punch. The shadow give a nice contrast, but I feel like the brightness in the light area and/or saturation could be tweaked up a little to really make it pop. Very well done!
ember frost
@fallow bough that is very cool! Remind of Zach King kind of work.

@hallow elk Really cool effect! It took me a second to realize what was going on in the image. I think the shadow across the ice really helps, but it might help to extend the ice trail off the page in a slight "s" curve. I think it might sell the idea better as well as act as a nice graphic element leading the eye to the shoe. I also this scaling the image up and adjusting the crop might help really show off the design better. Really like what you did with the frost effects coming out the back and the color contrast of the whole image BTW! Here's a quick example:
@hallow elk Very clever use of the animation technique! I like how you extended the shadows during the sunrise as well. It might be nice to see a slower animation that's a couple seconds long to really showcase the animation, and give it a more calming feel. Really nicely done! Great work on these challenges.

@pulsar walrus Really cool idea for a mockup! Though it could be nice to do one where the artwork is a bit easier to see and takes up more of the frame. Always cool to see all the work that people have done for the DCC together, nice job!
@pulsar walrus Great work on the transparencies of the bottles! I think on both images it could help to use a levels adjustment to brighten the bottles up a bit, especially the image of them on the road. It could be cool to use masked levels adjustment layer on the bottle on the dock to give the left side of the bottle a little extra light to fit the lighting of the scene. Very nice work!

Day 8 Challenge
bleak fossil
@hidden pendant Nice work with the blue-orange contrast. It really draws a lot of attention to the faces of the two figures. I think typically the warm tones are reserved for the skin and the hair is left for the cool tones. I think adjusting that might help the heads fit in more naturally with the rest of the scene. It might also help to ease the warm tones off of the shadows just a touch on the faces. Since warm light sources typically result in cool shadows, that might help unify everything together. Really nice work, the color grading adds a lot of drama and interest!

Thank you - I will go back and play further after I finish last 2 of those tutorial.

@tulip fern Great job! It's always really cool to see all the challenges people have produced together in once place. Glad you could join us for all these challenges, well done!
@fiery trail Love it, really great job with the blur! The sparks are looking really solid too! Small nitpick but it might help to adjust the cropping so there's a little more room on the left and top of the image. It looks a little cramped on the left side, and it's often nice to give image a little more headroom than the bottom. Great work Ish 😄
@cold cedar Hah, very nice job! I love the movements of the man, makes it look like he's dancing dramatically.
@tulip fern Nice work on the animation! The food is looking really good too. One suggestion is that it might help to have the transition be a little quicker, and the freeze frame of the food show for a little longer. As of now it’s a bit hard to see the first few images. Nice work with this one!
@pale lichen I think that's looking a lot better! Makes the effect a bit more clear visually. Nice work!
@pulsar walrus Really cool style to this! I think it might help the feeling of it being an advertisement if the size of the bottle was increased a bit. It could ever help to move the bottle to the left more so it doesn't interfere with the text depending on how big you want to make it. Either way it's looking good!
@hearty karma Well done! It's been great seeing all the different ways people approach the animation challenge. Nice work with the smoke trails!

@nova swan great avatar 😄 I think you could add a shadow on one side of your face. This could add some depth to the drawing. This could be a hard shadow, like with @pastel spade 's avatar or a softer shadow like Diannes
love the blue, by the way @pastel spade 🎉
@young karma I love how you have stylized your avatar 😄 It really adds character to an otherwise normal drawing 😃 The background is great and the colors work well together. I think you could slightly lower the contrast of your hair by making the shadows a touch brighter. Some shading on your face would also be awesome 😃 And if you like, you could add a glow to your eyes! Just add a layer above the avatar, fill it with black and paint with a soft white brush over your eyes. Then, set the blending mode to Color Dodge. Finally you can adjust the intensity by reducing the "Fill" slider of your layer (below Opacity)
stable mulch
I decided to work on my avatar some more and pushed myself to use a full opacity brush just to get better at color interaction.

@viral ibex I think you did a fantastic job! The green is probably a bit too bright and saturated - but that's very easy to fix 😃 I wouldn't remove the shadows entirely though. Keep some to make it look less flat 👍

@mortal solar I like the realistic style and the pop-out effect! I think you could refine the avatar by adding some detail to the hair and making the edges a bit smoother
@mortal solar to smooth out the edges, blur the image slightly (!) before applying the posterize effect 😃
@tulip fern Well done It's a great mix between realism and stylization! The only thing I would change is this gap
maybe you can crop it slightly tighter to remove it 😃

Definitely! Also I appreciate the advice I received on here. It helps to have somebody give you feedback. Like Tim made a good point on mine about bringing more colors in there with blues for the shadows and yellows (or whatever) color for highlights. I definitely felt it could help push my piece, so I probably keep working on it as it help me grow with my color choices and finding the right color harmony and color selection.

@short mica Looking good, glad to see you joining us for another DCC! I think a couple simple edits could really help balance this image out. Changing the deep shadow on the face to be a bit more towards red, and a bit more saturated (I also made it a bit lighter), darkening down the shirt a little or adding a gradient via a multiply layer since currently now the saturation is really intense compared to the rest of the image. I also think a gradient on the glasses could look really cool. Here's a rough example of what I mean, nice work!

Adding more of a white tone to the eyes, darken down the iris/pupil area, and maybe even mask out the eyes and use a soft round brush to add a deeper tone or smokey eye look. Any of these could be great ways to get those eyes to really shine. Looks good!
@hearty wharf Hah, nice! You could always have some sweet elf ears popping out from the hair! Really nice texture going on this especially in the hair.
@quiet sluice Wow, nice work! Did you fit your face onto an existing image of 3D model from a game? Very well done, the composite is quite seamless! Small nitpick, but a levels adjustment to the face might boost those deeper darks a bit more to match the high contrast of the 3D model. Especially in your eye.
@radiant geyser Nice, this looks great! Really great job on the hair! I feel like a couple small highlights on the eyes and nose could really make this pop a bit. Also might help to lighten the background up slightly to show off the hair a bit better. Well done!

@torpid rose Nice work, looking really good! I like what you did with the color gradient. I think if you have the hair swoop in around the neck a little on the left side like you do on the right it might look a bit more natural. Currently the neck looks a bit wide or like it's a cone shape. Just a thought. Nice work Martie!
@young karma Really cool style and texture to this! Liking your use of colors too. The background color is cool, but it almost seems a bit intense to where it seems to compete with face for attention. Maybe toning down the saturation a little bit would balance it out? Good job 😄
@kindred gate Nice work Jackie! I like how you themed the color scheme around the lipstick color, it's working well! It might be cool to try and get the lighter tones from the hair in the photo via a gradient at the bottom. Might sell the effect of it being hair a bit more.
@wispy compass Good job Babsams! There's definitely a lot of possibility and a lot to learn in this challenge. I think it could tie the image together pretty nicely to add a bit of a gradient in the hair like you have in the shirt.
@lucid harbor Nice! Definitely a great effect to make a photo look more illustrated. I think editing out the background and choosing a flat color or gradient could really push that avatar look.
@plush osprey Always great to push those comfort zones. Really digging the drop shadow and texture which adds a really cool paper cut out effect. Nice work BD!
@mortal solar Wow, really nice job, this turned out great! My only suggestion would be to not have such a deep black tone for the shadow under the jaw area. Maybe something a bit lighter and more red, like a deeper version of the orange tone right above it. This will separate it from the tone of the hair and look more natural as a shadowed skin tone. Really awesome work, shirt texture works really well too!
@tulip fern Nailed it! Really great image The realistic background is a cool contrast to the stylized avatar, and the colors work well together too. I think the main thing that stands out to me is that the inside of the mouth could be a decently darker reddish color. The contrast looks great everywhere else but just seems to be missing in that area. Looking solid!
@wind viper Oh wow, great job Tibs! This turned out really well. Really awesome work on the hair.
@rustic ledge Nice! Drawing in Photoshop can definitely be tricky without a tablet, but this turned out great! The skin tone instantly made me think of the witch from the Wizard of Oz. Really liking that round glow behind the head too. Almost looks like she’s appearing out of a magic mirror or glowing crystal ball or something. Great use of textures and the flower crown too!
@feral torrent Nice work Jordan, really liking the eye flames against the white hair. It could be cool to put some color in the eyes, or if they're glowing, maybe a light yellow with a soft glow around them? The background has a cool texture, but I wonder if a simple gradient might suit the image better. Maybe a fairly neutral dark or midtone blue? Really nice work with this one, loving the direction you went with the colors and design.

@lone maple Looking good Nick! It's always cool to see the variety of techniques and looks you can get in Photoshop with all the different DCC challenges we've done. This turned out nicely.
@alpine ravine Awesome, always cool to try something really new and different, great way to learn new approaches. It could be good to add some ears in to make the portrait look a little more natural. It also might be good to shift the skin a little more towards the reds and away from the yellows, unless that’s the effect you wanted. Really neat texture/effect on the hair by the way!
@north scaffold Very nice! That’s a good photo to work form, really nice lighting on it. I like how you went for some lighting on the head and nose with a soft brush, looks good! It could be nice to get a little contrast with some darker lines to act as the eyelash area, and darken down the iris/pupil area too. Could really bring some nice contrast into the eyes to look a little more natural and balance out the nice contrast you have in the rest of the facial features. Great work!
@trail rose Hello! Nice work, it can definitely be tricky to draw in Photoshop without a tablet, but the smoothing option on the brush tool can really help a lot. The effects you added really give it a more illustrated look, but if you wanted to try some of the techniques from the DCC it might be cool to add some lines or graphic shapes for different areas of the facial features or hair. If you don't want to draw everything by hand there are a lot of cool things you can do with lasso tool selections and the fill bucket for nice graphic shapes. Good job!
@sudden kayak Oh my goooooodness, was this all done today for this challenge? Fantastic work, love the clean inking and coloring style you used for this. Great color scheme as well!
