I T screen -- blending modes when I'm doing global. Adjustments so you can use overlay. Layers say could pay back in a curves layers but when I'm working on -- and a blending flash I like to use the dodge and burn tools from. And and that doesn't burn tools -- some of the oldest tool since fetish shop and I really enjoy using them a lot because they have the capability at -- all the way to white. And burning all the way to black and that allows you to control to reduce the contrast between pixels. And it gives you a much softer edge to the effect you're working -- on the skin while preserving the skin texture.

I've signed up protecting tents filled up look too much aren't in the areas that -- re touching so I'll turn that off. For the -- process. Now when you using the -- you also want to use appeasing defile Russia's space to and to be of the key fob Russia's artful. Fade brushes hair and on that have shape dynamics on the which means that you pressed out a little bit your precious -- and he pushed down hard -- the press gets bigger. This is great eyelashes and things like that but when you're working on the skin I would advise turning shape dynamics off. Says that you're you can control -- How much you're working with the pressure of the pen but the brush size is not changing and messy very accurate for the dodging and burning process. The bus size that should be just slightly smaller in the area that you wish to work out for instance if I see that there's a dark. Shadow by her now as there. Acted. Make my brush perhaps the sides to work in that area. Because when you use in a full fade airbrushed hair without the shape dynamics of brush icon represents that effect is going to be 50% capacity. So it actually extends beyond the edges of the box. This is good because I don't wanna see that icon at the ads I wanna see that -- area that I'm working on. So we've got to amber you actually contrary is shaping light so I could look at this area here and I could say. I'm seen some theme. In this area that's too dark. With yeah and I've want to lighten it up that this could be the correct value surrounded by something that is light and you can tell right away we begin to work on it. You can see that as I'm removing this dark area here. That her face is beginning to look flat. As you seem out a little bit fight turn that there. Often on this extend my stuff out here -- I can't I have to commands into duplicate data. Say see that what I've -- that actually flatten the face Acton. Because I've made the wrong choice because -- hat is happening actually here is that when the main -- coming in from this direction the photographer has reflector. Bouncing light back into the phase so this area that should be and shadow action is picking up high and I. And you duplicate the background yes I can -- some before and after X -- working. So the better choice there would be then to use the burn tool. That rather than changing from the dodge and burn until there's another little tip and that is that if you hold down the option. Or alt key while you're working other the tool does not change in the vertical toolbar you'll be accessing the at a function. So if I want to burn I have the -- but I'm gonna hold down -- option key and while I'm working and I contend down the values around. So dark area and you can see right away at the face is beginning to look better. I'm getting more contrary to my life and gain a much more sculpted look to that feature of the faith. Good they can just work around face that we sculpting the lite because I know that's reflector now and gives it -- even farther. Continuing to hold the option key down on the -- on the PC -- continue to remove. Light coming in from the reflector. And then my lighting is going to let much prettier. Dot in the shadow on channel pull this area out of -- And as with every method at dodging and burning. You can pick up cookies that extensively some slight discoloration.

And then lightly delays ever the retouched area and it will lightly tinted -- bring it back into the correct them. Without a lot of work. So -- with this face hair out just kind of shape briefing coupled before and after since they have this tool works that. This content was completely done with them the dodging and burning tools. Business soft focus filter attitude discontents and off you can see it is beautiful force structure and here. And I am I did do a little bit I enhancement I did do a little bit of lipstick. As well that you know the difference that you're seeing here from the before and after this quite significant and very contentious.

And now we're back again that we did a musical chairs here Jack is sitting in the middle he's got the driver's seat he's gonna show us some cool stuff to act. Doesn't did you. Okay well we've got going on here is they do little demo what you can do with the pattern stamp tool in Photoshop. But you do that I thought that I would give you all some are free presets because it's kind of cheating to. Show something and I give you some toys to play with so if you go these it a site where you can find. Three different things that you'll find that enjoyable at the Kilby training live dot com slash downloads you're gonna find it. Set of Jack -- extras and that's going to be a series of patterns textures brushes which is what I'm gonna be doing today. And all sorts of cool stuff some people yes so you can download that does just for your audience that's not a publicized site. Adventures in Photoshop dot com in the upper left hand corner there's a hundred of Adobe camera presets and hundred let room presets -- Just for your audience again they don't have to even give an email or register anything has suggested. Out of the kindness of my heart and of course on my snake oil is available software dash cinema dot com. But. What you're gonna hit -- that are these series of presets and I'm gonna take these brush presets. Once you download them in concept the file. -- actually can just simply double click on it that's gonna -- those presets and push up so that's where we're starting with we now have some custom wow precious. Loaded into Photoshop first play with. The concept that I wanna cover today is this idea of using the pattern stamp tool. As you know -- stamp tool has been around for many years one of the features of the patents stand to lose this thing called the impression ascetic. It's floated around with a push up over the years it's been in different places it's now residing in the pattern stamp tool and it's the coolest way I think for cloning a photograph into eight folk painting. That's what we're gonna do here. The first Apple first we're gonna be using the Paterson to a hidden under the regular. Clone stamp tool also gonna go down here and pants like that. And the first step to doing a painting is to enhance the photograph. You're not trying to mimic a photograph because you already have the photograph has no purpose and you're gonna go beyond what was photographed. Somewhat like is the opposite way they'd be anti the -- with a -- of what you do with your photo realism there we go hyper realistic. I'm gonna take a photograph and we're gonna go expression to -- that so that's what we're doing here so the first step is gonna be to go beyond that so I've already gone in here. And -- some re touching and some dodging and burning. And some color enhancement I even added a little white border. To the image and you'll see why in a minute. But I'm gonna be able to actually use this white to paint in there. A rough expressive edge -- get to that point so the first step in doing a painting especially with a pattern stamp tool is too enhances. Clearly there and its own layer. And that leave our original as well the next step is come over here under edit and say defined pattern and it's clearly visible will automatically be turned into a pattern. You have selected area it would just be that portion of it but I'm gonna go ahead and select the entire document. So that in the sense has mixed the paint and loaded it into the brush that's the cool thing it did all the painting all the mixing of the paint and now we're ready to. To work on it. I have gone in and with these presets. We're now I'm going to look down here with a pattern stamps elected you're not gonna find all these while presets. That. Gives you all. And I'm going to say current tools -- he just the ones that related to the pattern Stan CF chalk drive brush oil watercolor. I think you'll have a lot of fun with -- we're doing drive fresh right here. And with -- come up here to my options -- I'm gonna tell it now what to use for that painting. Someone come over here and tell it to use that. Photograph that we just turned into a pattern so now we're telling us specifically what to -- with you to paint anything. You could use that wonderful time done that's been in Photoshop for a hundred years here. Which shows you how much Adobe knows of how useful this tool is. Incredibly useful. It's gonna have the pattern -- Applied to it with this impression setting automatically because that's built -- my brush preset. One of the things that's cool and groovy about a brush preset let's -- I went to the yeah the trouble to make them. Is that it -- textures to them have actually gone and and painted skinned it turned into repeating Thailand patterns things like real canvas watercolor paper and all these things. So those are gonna be loaded into the brush and that's why you're getting the skipping. Of the brush as it goes across a real natural media surface as opposed imitating a digital canvas or something like that. And I use the dual brush that also brings in an organic feel to it as the toothbrushes interact with each other. If you have those to play with so that is what we've got that's our starting point. And now I've also gone up here and have created a canvas which is to simply layer filled with a white. And that's gonna just minimize this background so I don't get too distracted whether it's kind of that tracing paper kind of effect here. -- also created another layer. And surely your audience knows had to do community and here click cancel dogged page icon and this we're gonna do my painting. So there's my set up we took the original photograph we enhanced it made a little canvas that's gonna goes back original we've got a blank layer paint on. We've created our patterns stamp. We defined the original image as a pattern. And in this case elected one of the while princess. And so now what we're gonna do is we're gonna paint so now what it's gonna. And we'll make sure that that pattern is collected so now what I'm painting here's what this brush. "

" Looks like. And it's pulling from the actual original photograph for the enhanced version I should say. I'm without me needing to put all that trouble of painting of us flexing colors in choosing them. Now since I'm just working on this guy it's a little bit hard to see what working on. Until I get down here and start you'll see that it is now. Doing a different color not to do this entire image. Because there's no reason for you guys to wait around for this. Did you get the basic idea if I come out here you'll notice that the reason for that white border. Notice how the paint is going is drying out even more so right because that's -- and I can even come back in and paint. This edge back end because it's pulling from the white itself part of that source so you get this really nice organic looking. I'd try out for the edge. I'm gonna come down here and just work on our tree. If I was working in traditional oils. Or acrylic which I do as well. I would be doing you a blocking in my shapes with a big brush what I'm doing here probably also do a background ground painting maybe even in complimentary color which I could do. I'm not gonna do for this particular. Technique but I'm just gonna come up here and all you'll see what I'm doing in a second so that's gonna block in some color. Again for the sake of brevity. And I'm gonna come down here and we'll do a medium so we're making the breast size smaller. We get in more detail. And I'm probably again for the sake of speed on the job. To me the smaller brush pretty quick but you can start to see how we -- in the trunk of the tree. And small. I accidentally saved a another photograph and with a -- so that's bringing that in -- well. So now again I am coming in here and going to be seen that trunks of the -- And more details around it but it's still is giving me the the drive brushed look where it's still is giving me via the strokes. And the image. Oftentimes. Not only just do one reference. A pattern that I'm loading into the brush. But don't go ahead and make two or three versions a little lighter and darker so I can actually choose different patterns up here. And bring instance particular highlights but I can actually hit which is what again you do in the real world pure painting you wouldn't just use one consistent. -- You didn't make expressive choices for shadow and highlight. We'll do that let's see if I got one more little. -- brush. Extra small. We'll come up here into some details. But you see in the basic you get that the concept of what we're doing even though kind of scrubbing here I am taking into account. The actual. Shape of my subject matter. As -- pull them. Looking that content as they get the idea -- again I won't spend that. The time if I was working on a portrait or something like that and actually wanted to bring in some of the actual original photograph. You can simply come over here turn off impressionist and and it's actually pulling now from the real photograph that's not doing this -- elation of it. So now the same brush is actually painting with a photograph so if you wanna come in here with some highlights -- gonna see that I can come up here. And hit in with some actual details from the original photograph. I wanna get to -- because actually that is obviously more detailed -- not want in the painting. But it is gonna get a little pop to some of beliefs. And -- interlaced painfully looked through it definitely substantially look. So that is the concept behind the pattern stamp tool enhance your photograph. Turn it into a pattern. Grab a brush. Make sure that you take advantage of little things like. Textures within the brush tool from the brush -- maybe a dual. Brush tip in there. And then have that it. --"

" That's okay that's great. If some good stuff going on this and I -- become these fantastic artist and then put the stuff on campus because you can print on -- cameras. But the current generation of printers. I might add that with a fourth member who unfortunately is not whether it's today -- darva its the four of us are gonna be. -- offering a book. We want to know about that the book coming up yet we've got to one in the series is. A book series -- that done series editor on called how to wow. And -- I've been talking about this for openly half a dozen years and were finally gonna do it and that's how to while Photoshop for painting and illustration. And very very excited about that they'll be coming out next year. And I think it's going to be great especially since the four of us have very different styles -- and and so we're gonna get a great overview of the entire area of nineteen illustration photo shop. I hope you guys -- up from all this. Number is just question of changing up mode here of color there and you get a totally different effect is what you wanna do it the best way to learn this stuff has to sit there and play. It's not work -- play and the best way to learn -- software -- them play with it. Thanks a lot. But he's a good man he's strong he's young Vladimir -- friends. And I hope you -- from this and don't forget to play and I'll see you next week."

And now we're back again that we did a musical chairs here Jack is sitting in the middle he's got the driver's seat he's gonna show us some cool stuff to act. Doesn't did you. Okay well we've got going on here is they do little demo what you can do with the pattern stamp tool in Photoshop. But you do that I thought that I would give you all some are free presets because it's kind of cheating to. Show something and I give you some toys to play with so if you go these it a site where you can find. Three different things that you'll find that enjoyable at the Kilby training live dot com slash downloads you're gonna find it. Set of Jack -- extras and that's going to be a series of patterns textures brushes which is what I'm gonna be doing today. And all sorts of cool stuff some people yes so you can download that does just for your audience that's not a publicized site. Adventures in Photoshop dot com in the upper left hand corner there's a hundred of Adobe camera presets and hundred let room presets -- Just for your audience again they don't have to even give an email or register anything has suggested. Out of the kindness of my heart and of course on my snake oil is available software dash cinema dot com. But. What you're gonna hit -- that are these series of presets and I'm gonna take these brush presets. Once you download them in concept the file. -- actually can just simply double click on it that's gonna -- those presets and push up so that's where we're starting with we now have some custom wow precious. Loaded into Photoshop first play with. The concept that I wanna cover today is this idea of using the pattern stamp tool. As you know -- stamp tool has been around for many years one of the features of the patents stand to lose this thing called the impression ascetic. It's floated around with a push up over the years it's been in different places it's now residing in the pattern stamp tool and it's the coolest way I think for cloning a photograph into eight folk painting. That's what we're gonna do here. The first Apple first we're gonna be using the Paterson to a hidden under the regular. Clone stamp tool also gonna go down here and pants like that. And the first step to doing a painting is to enhance the photograph. You're not trying to mimic a photograph because you already have the photograph has no purpose and you're gonna go beyond what was photographed. Somewhat like is the opposite way they'd be anti the -- with a -- of what you do with your photo realism there we go hyper realistic. I'm gonna take a photograph and we're gonna go expression to -- that so that's what we're doing here so the first step is gonna be to go beyond that so I've already gone in here. And -- some re touching and some dodging and burning. And some color enhancement I even added a little white border. To the image and you'll see why in a minute. But I'm gonna be able to actually use this white to paint in there. A rough expressive edge -- get to that point so the first step in doing a painting especially with a pattern stamp tool is too enhances. Clearly there and its own layer. And that leave our original as well the next step is come over here under edit and say defined pattern and it's clearly visible will automatically be turned into a pattern. You have selected area it would just be that portion of it but I'm gonna go ahead and select the entire document. So that in the sense has mixed the paint and loaded it into the brush that's the cool thing it did all the painting all the mixing of the paint and now we're ready to. To work on it. I have gone in and with these presets. We're now I'm going to look down here with a pattern stamps elected you're not gonna find all these while presets. That. Gives you all. And I'm going to say current tools -- he just the ones that related to the pattern Stan CF chalk drive brush oil watercolor. I think you'll have a lot of fun with -- we're doing drive fresh right here. And with -- come up here to my options -- I'm gonna tell it now what to use for that painting. Someone come over here and tell it to use that. Photograph that we just turned into a pattern so now we're telling us specifically what to -- with you to paint anything. You could use that wonderful time done that's been in Photoshop for a hundred years here. Which shows you how much Adobe knows of how useful this tool is. Incredibly useful. It's gonna have the pattern -- Applied to it with this impression setting automatically because that's built -- my brush preset. One of the things that's cool and groovy about a brush preset let's -- I went to the yeah the trouble to make them. Is that it -- textures to them have actually gone and and painted skinned it turned into repeating Thailand patterns things like real canvas watercolor paper and all these things. So those are gonna be loaded into the brush and that's why you're getting the skipping. Of the brush as it goes across a real natural media surface as opposed imitating a digital canvas or something like that. And I use the dual brush that also brings in an organic feel to it as the toothbrushes interact with each other. If you have those to play with so that is what we've got that's our starting point. And now I've also gone up here and have created a canvas which is to simply layer filled with a white. And that's gonna just minimize this background so I don't get too distracted whether it's kind of that tracing paper kind of effect here. -- also created another layer. And surely your audience knows had to do community and here click cancel dogged page icon and this we're gonna do my painting. So there's my set up we took the original photograph we enhanced it made a little canvas that's gonna goes back original we've got a blank layer paint on. We've created our patterns stamp. We defined the original image as a pattern. And in this case elected one of the while princess. And so now what we're gonna do is we're gonna paint so now what it's gonna. And we'll make sure that that pattern is collected so now what I'm painting here's what this brush. "

" Looks like. And it's pulling from the actual original photograph for the enhanced version I should say. I'm without me needing to put all that trouble of painting of us flexing colors in choosing them. Now since I'm just working on this guy it's a little bit hard to see what working on. Until I get down here and start you'll see that it is now. Doing a different color not to do this entire image. Because there's no reason for you guys to wait around for this. Did you get the basic idea if I come out here you'll notice that the reason for that white border. Notice how the paint is going is drying out even more so right because that's -- and I can even come back in and paint. This edge back end because it's pulling from the white itself part of that source so you get this really nice organic looking. I'd try out for the edge. I'm gonna come down here and just work on our tree. If I was working in traditional oils. Or acrylic which I do as well. I would be doing you a blocking in my shapes with a big brush what I'm doing here probably also do a background ground painting maybe even in complimentary color which I could do. I'm not gonna do for this particular. Technique but I'm just gonna come up here and all you'll see what I'm doing in a second so that's gonna block in some color. Again for the sake of brevity. And I'm gonna come down here and we'll do a medium so we're making the breast size smaller. We get in more detail. And I'm probably again for the sake of speed on the job. To me the smaller brush pretty quick but you can start to see how we -- in the trunk of the tree. And small. I accidentally saved a another photograph and with a -- so that's bringing that in -- well. So now again I am coming in here and going to be seen that trunks of the -- And more details around it but it's still is giving me the the drive brushed look where it's still is giving me via the strokes. And the image. Oftentimes. Not only just do one reference. A pattern that I'm loading into the brush. But don't go ahead and make two or three versions a little lighter and darker so I can actually choose different patterns up here. And bring instance particular highlights but I can actually hit which is what again you do in the real world pure painting you wouldn't just use one consistent. -- You didn't make expressive choices for shadow and highlight. We'll do that let's see if I got one more little. -- brush. Extra small. We'll come up here into some details. But you see in the basic you get that the concept of what we're doing even though kind of scrubbing here I am taking into account. The actual. Shape of my subject matter. As -- pull them. Looking that content as they get the idea -- again I won't spend that. The time if I was working on a portrait or something like that and actually wanted to bring in some of the actual original photograph. You can simply come over here turn off impressionist and and it's actually pulling now from the real photograph that's not doing this -- elation of it. So now the same brush is actually painting with a photograph so if you wanna come in here with some highlights -- gonna see that I can come up here. And hit in with some actual details from the original photograph. I wanna get to -- because actually that is obviously more detailed -- not want in the painting. But it is gonna get a little pop to some of beliefs. And -- interlaced painfully looked through it definitely substantially look. So that is the concept behind the pattern stamp tool enhance your photograph. Turn it into a pattern. Grab a brush. Make sure that you take advantage of little things like. Textures within the brush tool from the brush -- maybe a dual. Brush tip in there. And then have that it. --"

" That's okay that's great. If some good stuff going on this and I -- become these fantastic artist and then put the stuff on campus because you can print on -- cameras. But the current generation of printers. I might add that with a fourth member who unfortunately is not whether it's today -- darva its the four of us are gonna be. -- offering a book.
