Flying Eagle in Digital Painting

 

The eagle is a bird symbol of valor. This bird is a carnivorous animal that is able to fly high and pounce on its prey quickly. The eagle is a carnivore. Its main prey is small mammals, such as mice, squirrels, and rabbits, as well as lizards, fish, chickens, and other small birds. Even eagles prey on insects depending on their size. Eagles that live in water areas generally eat fish as their main menu.

Although they do not have teeth, eagles are capable of tearing and tearing the flesh of their prey with their sharp beaks and claws. This bird also has a very sharp sense of sight and is useful for determining targets from high in the air.

Since eagles are one of my favorite wild animals, in this post, I present to you a digital painting of a flying eagle. The stages and methods I use are as follows:

1. The original image of the flying eagle you can find here
2. I using technique watercolor effect with photoshop
3. Using multi-layer + layer mask (background, flying eagle)
4. For the background using a single layer
5. For the flying eagle using 2 layers, the blending mode used is normal mode (opacity 100%) + overlay (opacity 76%)
6. To create a watercolor painting effect, each image uses the filter - noise - greyCstoration, after that use the filter - artistic - watercolor
7. Use the watercolor effect brush tools for layer masks
8. Then sharpen each image using the filter - sharpen - smart sharpen
9. To create a painting effect on canvas using filter - filter gallery - texture- texturizer (canvas)
10. Lighting effects using brightness and contrast (with contrast -6, and brightness 40)
11. Color effects using vibrance (with vibrance 0, and saturation -39)
12. The method used as mentioned above really depends on how your taste and creativity are.
13. Image size used 1380 px; 1000 px, resolution 300 ppi

The last word, I want to fly high like an eagle, through the day and night through the clouds
