I hope you enjoy this quick overview of how I created this sports poster with search light and clouds. I’m giving you the link to 2 free brushes I used and the other sources for free tutorials!
- Extract the player from the background: See tutorials.
- Dodge and burn 50% gray layer of player to your satisfaction. See tutorial here. (I’m sharing this at the correct part of the video for dodge and burn.
- Add Clouds behind him from Perfect Clouds Vol 1.
- For the searchlight I used this tutorial. However instead of using the 3d tool for the light beams I used a Photoshop Brush.
- For the city silhouette I used a brush from here
- Then I ran Totally Rad’s, Rad Lab filter for extra color effects.
