Photoshop Creature- Movement, Layers, and Tools


The most helpful photoshop tool I used to make this piece was the layer masks paired with a regular brush or eraser tool. It allowed me to create the blur around the cheetah, the tree in the foreground, the cat in the background, the teal hollow that said cat is jumping into, as well as the sunshine in the upper-left corner. It was useful in adding depth as well as points of emphasis in my artwork.

Juxtapose Project & Layers


I used a mask to create visual interest by replacing the pupil of this eye with an abandoned city beyond an empty, destroyed home. I was also able to change the color of the eye and the pupil so that they had blue and orange hues, complementary colors, with a mask. They say eyes are the window to the soul, as you can glean true intentions and a vast mixture of emotions from them. Naturally, I thought it would be interesting to use masks in photoshop to tell a story with the human eye, which is already an engaging sight on its own.
