Painting/Line Art Challenge – Weekly Photoshop Challenge

This week's Weekly Photoshop Challenge was to use provided line art/silhouettes and create an image using only the painting and drawing tools in Photoshop. This is my submission for the challenge! What fun!

To create the image, I drew a path with the bezier tool, and filled it in with various colors. I added in some detail using the bezier tool, and used a custom shape for the lifesaver. I then added shading and shadows with a brush to give the shirt a little depth. Of course, I added in the provided images found on the challenge at the Weekly Photoshop Challenge....and, VOILA!

Tattoo – Weekly Photoshop Challenge

Above is my entry for this week's Weekly Photoshop Challenge, tattoo. I didn't do anything fancy (didn't have time)...but, nonetheless, it came out pretty nice! As you can see, I also gave my "macho man" a nipple ring...he just looked like he was missing something.

Colorization – Weekly Photoshop Challenge

Above is my piece for this week's Weekly Photoshop Challenge, "Colorization." I added color by using the quick mask to make my selections, created new layers for each of the different colored elements, set my layer mode to "Color"...and, simply painted with a brush. I then created a matte and frame, and then added in the shadows behind the image so it looks like the image is hanging on the wall. Voila!

Here is the image prior to adding color:
