This Psd Premium tutorial by author Mark Mayers will take inspiration from the surrealist art movement and will demonstrate how to blend stock images to create an illustration that could be applied to anything from drinks machines to point-of-sale displays. Observing how light reacts in the real-world is a key factor when combing multiple photographs – all of which have different degrees of light, shadow and color. To pull off this effect, we’ll make extensive use of Adjustment Layers as well as some advanced masking techniques. This tutorial is available exclusively to Premium Members.
