This drawing effect from photoshopstar.com is nifty, but I thought it was going to have more of a punch than my photo has. Perhaps I need more of a cleaner photograph instead of one with all the lines and shapes mine has. Either way, I still think my end result is cool.
This tutorial from photoshopstar.com on making a photo have a canvas texture was pretty fun. I'm always amazing by repeating a filter effect several times and getting something so different, like lines on from a canvas!
I must be a glutton for punishment because I'm trying a 4th watercolor tutorial. This time it's from photoshopstar.com. All in all, this one isn't half bad. It's written clearly and the end result is pretty good. I think I like Journal #029's the best, and Journal #003 & Journal #023 the very least!
This Art Fragmentation tutorial from photoshopstar.com seemed kind of lame at first, but now that I see the final result I think it's pretty sweet. I'm diggin' the contrast and saturation, and the blur border is decorating more than I thought it would.
This sketch shading tutorial from photoshopstar.com was very new to me because it did most of it's effects in then channels menu instead of the layers menu.
I thought it would be whimsical to use the Carpet tutorial from photoshopstar.com and apply it to a inorganic object, like this Corvette. However, it doesn't seem to work as well on smooth surfaces. Perhaps a more textured surface like fure or leaves would work better for this technique.
This super subtle tutorial is from photshopstar.com and is for realistic tears. I thought it would be fun to put a realistic tear on something not real. I had to play around with the settings a bit to make it work for my image, but I am happy with the end result.
