[TUTORIAL] Breakeven

B O O M B O X

Hello! Long time no see. V here.

I'm sorry if I hadn't post for a long time. It just.. I've been too lazy to open my photoshop. ; A ; cries- I haven't touch it for like.. i dunna, Almost one month I think? o n o;;

 Okay, so I'm trying to teach you this poster I've just made.

To be honest, I was going to teach you all to make Living on A Dream, but I forget which one is the texture I used ; A ; I'm so sorry! I'll give you the psd! Just pm me if you want T u T <3

 

Anyway, Let's just get started shall we? 

Things you'll need :

Your character! Solo, Duo or Trio. I'm using Kim Myungsoo (L) and Gayoon

Stock 1 2 3 4

Texture 1 2 3 4 5 6

 

Step 1 - B A S E

Make your base! I'm using 652 x 215 px canvas and 595959 as the base colour. Then Add the clock texture and Desaturate (Shift+CTRL+U) and blur it a little. (Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur) just a little! Not too much.

After that, use the Layer mask and a low opacity and soft big brush, start to tap the areas around the clock. 

Step 2 - P L A C E M E N T

Add your character and blend them together with layer mask and a soft round brush with a middle opacity (around 69 or 55) for the edge of your character picture and lower them to 37 for the rest of them. But you can play around with the opacity and the flow too. I'm just erasing Myungsoo's shoulder so they connected? x3 You know what I mean right? eue

Then, Make a new layer and take a big and low opacity brush, tap a little on the center, where you blend Myungsoo and Gayoon together. I'm using the base colour (595959) to tap the center so It kinda looks blended? x3

Step 3 - P L A C E M E N T 

Add the mask stock behind your character layer, change the blend mode to Lighten with Opacity (OP) : 83% And Fill (FI) : 91%. 

THEN Add this Clock-like stock. I deleted the bg because i'm too lazy to blend it eue I'm using Magic wand tool to select the BG and CTRL+X to delete them after you selected it. It should be easy though since the BG was simple(?). Change the blend mode to Overlay and FI : 70%. 

And this.. uhh.. water like stock(?). I resized them and place them behind the character again and desaturate them. Change the blend to Difference with OP : 70%.

THE LAST ONE I SWEAR- Add this gear stock behind the character too, erasing the right one and changing the blend mode to Lighten with OP : 64%

Step 4 - O P T I O N A L

I added a white brush behind the chara layer (ABOVE ALL THE STOCK LAYER) to made them less awkward-

Step 5 - T E X T U R I N G

Texture time! o u o/

Add Texture1 on the center and change the mode to SCREEN with OP : 72% and FI : 86%  Erase it on the place you don't want.

Texture2 : Mode : Softlight OP : 78% FI : 84% Same, erase it too.

Texture3 : Mode : Overlay OP : 68% FI : 86% Same, erase ouo

Texture4 : Mode : Hardlight OP : 100% FI : 74% Same, erase -u-

Texture5 : Mode : Color burn OP : 73% FI : 57 % Same, erase eue

Texture6: Resize this and set the mode to Screen : 72% And the I duplicated (CTRL+J) and move them on the other place that looks empty. ;3

Step 6 - O P T I O N A L

This part is optional though x3 I'm fixing the brightness of the poster with BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST. Brightness : +20 and Contrast : -30

Last Step - C O L O R I N G and S T U F F

Add your coloring, I'm using one from Evey-V's and slaysx's psd pack. I reaaaaaaaaaaaaallly love this psd pack especially the Evey-V's. It contains some awesome textures too which I always use it to make poster. ;3 I used the Revenant one from Evey-V and Bitter from slaysx.

Then add your text, topaz clean, and stuffs you want. I'm adding some pattern. :3

 

Done! Wow, I'm feeling awkward to be honest- It has been pretty long time since I touched PS and make a tutorial. I dunna why I'm feeling awkward- o 3 o;;

And oh yeah, I made some of the screencaps into gif so It can show you clearly where to place, where to erase and stuff. Maybe-

Anyway, As always, Hope you like the tutorial and give me some suggestion down below on what should I do in the future. :3 And show me your work too ;3 winkeu. My PM is always open for all of you who wants to ask stuffs about graphic- <3

PEACE

-V Shuffle awei.

 

Ps. Anyone willing to teach me on drawing animes? xD /slapped-
