Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to everyone – hope this Holiday brings you much good cheer! I enjoyed making this candle card – pretty simple and lots of fun. Basically ran from the Contextural Task Bar a prompt saying “Lit Yellow candle in the middle of the image with no decorations around it” – Cinematic and Cartoon Effects were check. Took 4 Variation runs to get the one I liked, but finally did. To get the pretty greenery, just followed Jessica Johnson’s Behance video called Creating a Stylized Holiday Holly Illustration in Photoshop & New Brushes. By using a simple Pointed Arrow as a brush tip, many different kinds of fern-like greenery can be created. Most of them were Pattern Stamp brushes with different color swatch patterns used to create the interesting colors in the branches. Mixer used to paint the berries and a little gold dazzle using a gold layer style. She has lots of info on how to do this on her website. I found it was a lot of fun to create this card and make some new brushes. Happy Holiday!…..Digital Lady Syd
