This tutorial is written by Iaroslav Lazunov and Oleksandr Iegupov.
The best thing about Photoshop is that it allows us to create practically anything our imaginations can conceive. In this tutorial we will demonstrate how to combine several photos to create a fantasy, cosmic, mini planet in Photoshop.
Over the course of this 6 day series. Artist Shray Khanna will guide you through the entire process of creating a next-gen, low poly vehicle using Maya and Photoshop.
Throughout the series, Shray covers the complete next-gen pipeline in detail. Starting off with low poly modeling in parts 1 & 2, and then moving onto uv mapping, high poly modeling, baking, and finally texture creation. This series is a must read for any artist interested in video game development and asset creation.
Through the clever use of some different Photoshop filters, layer modes, and some rough hand sketching that truly anyone can do, we’ll go from a normal Photograph, to a really cool looking koncept-art looking sketch. Unlike many other tutorials that “cartoonize” or “sketch” your photographs, this will actually end up looking like something a digital artist would be sketching.
And the best part? Once you know how to do it, you can make a full new sketch in just about 5-10 minutes!
Of course, so you can be sure that you got everything right afterwards, the zip file contains the same file showed in the video!
To show off the effect, I’ll be using a splendid photograph by Photographer Agnieszka Wrobel.
Along with the video, you also get a Photoshop file with all the layers shown in the video, so you can see how it works in practice!
(note files in Photoshop are lower resolution)

In this week’s Audio Premium content, Mo Volans starts a new series on how to put together the perfect production tool kit. Today we look in detail at choosing the essential processors – DAW , dynamic processors, EQ, spatial effects, modulation effects, special effects and enhancers.
With so much choice in the world of plug-ins and software instruments building the perfect collection of virtual devices can be quite a challenge. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned pro it can really pay to think about your collection of software carefully and ultimately run a tight focused system.
The trick here is to break your software down into categories and focus on the essentials. With a simplified collection you should know exactly which tool to reach for in any situation. At the end of the day isn’t this what being a good engineer is all about?
Here we look at the different processors you’ll need to complete a typical mix. Regardless of the style of music you are creating these essential tools should see you through most mix sessions.
A step-by-step tutorial showing how to make a basic image editor using jQuery, jQuery UI and the HTML5 canvas element. Techniques you will learn include a robust mechanism for working with events in jQuery, properties and methods of the canvas element, creating jQuery UI dialogs and some techniques for working with images on the canvas including saving images, rotating images, resizing images and applying color effects such as black & white or sepia tones. General HTML5 and some basic CSS3 styling is also covered.
One of the simplest game mechanics is to let the player find a hidden object. Games based on this take many forms: Where’s Waldo, Peek-A-Boo, Spot the Difference, Hide and Seek, and of course Hidden Object. In this Active Premium Tutorial, I’ll show you two methods for obscuring a scene so that the player can uncover it later.
In the first, you’ll cover an image with balloons which the player can pop by clicking. In the second, you’ll use BitmapData to create a virtual scratchcard.
So you’re a web developer, and will be giving a presentation soon. Why the heck are you reaching for that piece of software? Keynote? No thanks. I’ve learned enough programs to last a lifetime!
Why don’t we instead use the technologies that we’re already familiar with? HTML , CSS, and JavaScript.
In this 5-part screencast course (and written tutorial), I will personally take you step by step through the process of creating custom presentation slides from scratch.
Even better – you know how, sometimes, instructors assume that you understand way more than you do? Not me – I’ll cover every single line to ensure that all of you are on the same page with me.
We’ll discuss everything from JavaScript best practices, to the latest techniques in CSS3 , to perfect HTML markup. Ready?

In this week’s Audio Premium content, Mike Ellliot comprehensively shows us how to create a sense of space in your tracks by using panning, delay, reverb and more.
Space is a tricky subject to tackle for many because there are so many options available. From tight studio sounds to ringing halls, we have such creative room to the play with that often times many young engineers are left wondering what to do. To further the problem, many engineers don’t understand how to properly use the tools given to them like pan, reverb, and delays. In this tutorial I will show you how to use the tools of the trade, how create different types of space, and some creative uses of space to add some flare to your mixes. So with that in mind, let’s make a space!

In this tutorial I’m going to show you how I created a personalized fairy scene using the image of a child. Parents, especially new parents, are extremely proud of their children and will always like to capture the fleeting years of their youth through commissioned art. They further appreciate to see their young one(s) in an enchanting scene, as if to create a story for them to appreciate.

I’ll be using tools such as the Liquify tool, high pass filter, layer modes, custom brushes (included in the zip file!), layer masks, the puppet tool, and more. The video is 1200×900 resolution, so you can see everything crispy and clearly, as well as fully commentated throughout, describing all the techniques used. The tutorial is made for everyone! If you know the basic way around Photoshop, following the instructions shouldn’t be to hard!
This tutorial is not aimed at teaching you to arrive at a set destination, but rather the techniques involved in these operations, and how to creatively use them yourself in any way you want!
You do not need to be a Photoshop Genius to follow this tutorial! All techniques are covered in sufficient depth, for those relatively new to retouching.
Through these techniques, you’ll learn how to not only retouch hair, but how to change it radically to fit your needs!
To make it all relevant, I’ll be working with photos by professional photography agency Fantasy Fotos (http://fantasyfotos.zenfolio.com/).
Along with the video, you also get a Photoshop file with all the layers shown in the video, so you can see how it works in practice!
