Final Product What You'll Be Creating

With all the stock photo sites freely available to us, we tend to forget that we can actually make everything ourselves. The problem with sticking solely to online resources is that once two pieces are based on the same image, they are alike no matter what you do to them. In this Psd Premium tutorial, author Alex Beltechi will demonstrate how to transform a photo taken by a photographer friend of his into a nature-inspired illustration. Along the way, Alex will perform many advanced photo manipulation techniques including how to redraw hair and make advanced color adjustments. If you are looking to take your photo manipulation skills to the next level then Log in or Join Now to get started!

    At first I was a it skeptical about it being premium, but I downloaded it, read it and yes! It is worth it, I never expected so much info. Thanks, Alex! :D

      This cat is pushing a watermelon out of a lake, your argument is invalid.
      Maybe a little consistency on criticism ?

      And the Tuts on your site are better? Amateur at best my friend… Some of them are even stolen! Like the “Awesome” Sticker? Uh yeah, that was originally from tutsplus, as was the Magician’s hat tut. And you didn’t do a great job of that either. Don’t go dissing other (awesome) designers, especially when their tuts are ORIGINAL.
