Eagle, a bird with an elegant and mighty posture, is often used as a symbol of strength and protection. Digging about the eagle may not be far from talking about its prowess. The eagle is arguably the king of birds, so it is often used as a symbol of the spirit of never giving up, protection, speed, strength, and power in the air. This bird is also often encountered as a symbol or symbol of state and military organizations.
An eagle is known as a tough creature, but its toughness is also not obtained as easily as turning a palm, not instantaneously. The eagle always learns from its mother or from the nature in which it lives to get to know so many things that it doesn't know in life.
And I want to be like an eagle, fly high through the clouds ... never mind, it's just an introduction, because I'm actually want to show you an acrylic painting of an eagle that I created digitally using photoshop effect. All right, just how about the stages and the methods I use to create this digital painting,i.e.:
- The digital painting of the eagle's gaze is a combination of 2 different images, i.e.: (1) background image, and (2) the eagle, the original image can be found here.
- For the image size for painting I use 1380 px;1380 px, with a resolution of 300 ppi
- The background image was created using photoshop's acrylic brush and should be based on your imagination and creativity.
- Duplicate the background image that was made earlier, change the blend mode to overlay (opacity 100%)
- Place the eagle image just above the background image that was made earlier, then create a layer mask on the eagle image.
- Still on the eagle's image, apply filters - gallery filters - artistic - watercolor, with a detailed brush composition of 14, shadow intensity 0, and texture 1.
- Use acrylic brush tools on the eagle's image layer mask, so that it looks acrylic effect and blends with the background image
- The eagle's image that has been given an acrylic effect is then duplicated with a blending mode of vivid light (opacity of 100%).
- Then sharpen each image using the filter - sharpen - smart sharpen
- To create a painting effect on canvas using filter - filter gallery - texture- texturizer (canvas)
- Lighting effects using brightness and contrast (with contrast -31, and brightness 49)
- Color effects using vibrance (with vibrance 0, and saturation -20)
- Give the finishing touch according to your own imagination and creativity
That is a brief tutorial on how to make a digital painting of an eagle's gaze using acrylic effect techniques... enjoy
