Create a fairy tale digital art in Photoshop

February 14, 2011

Thanks to your enthusiasm and the more than 50 likes on Facebook I made an advanced digital art tutorial for you in which I show you all the techniques I used for this artwork. In this tutorial we are going to use professional selections, masking, working with the pen tool and vector masks, creating and setting up custom brushes, using smart filters, blend modes and so much more. I show lots of things in only 25 minutes, so please feel free to watch this video more than once if it is too fast to follow and understand.

Remember to post your work using the techniques you learn from this tutorial on the Facebook wall of the blog! I can’t wait to see them 🙂

I have been a fan of Yes I'm a Designer on Youtube for two years and taking their course has made me like them even more...

Tried many but this program is way above the rest. Excellent delivery, clear and will certainly inspire and equip you to be better in the world of graphic design.
