How To Create a Lomography Photo Effect in Photoshop
Jun 3rd
Lomography and the lomo effect is massively popular in Photography circles. The origins of the lomo effect come from a budget Russian camera called the Lomo LC-A, but we can recreate the imagery produced by this little cheap camera on our own digital photos with the help of Photoshop. Follow this step by step Photoshop tutorial to easily give your photos the vibrant characteristics of lomography. The Lomo photo effect The poor construction of the Lomo LC-A and similar budget cameras meant that photos would often feature unusually high contrast, obscure colour reproduction, intense saturation and would sometimes be extremely blurry. Usually this would be classed as an absolute failure in terms of typical analogue photography, but with the Lomo it all added to the charm and character of the camera and the unusual images it produced. Lomography effect in Photoshop Open up an image of your choice to apply your Lomography photo effect in Photoshop. I’ve picked out an image of a rusty old truck from ThinkStock . Lomo images often have unusual blue, …

Create Big Gravity Defying Anime-Styled Hair in Adobe Photoshop
May 27th
This tutorial builds on the knowledge gained from my previous tutorials, and provides a more in-depth discussion on creating big anime-style hair for your characters, as well as including four individual six step walkthroughs on creating each hairstyle. Although the styles were created in Adobe Photoshop, if you’re familiar with Adobe Illustrator or other vectoring programs, you should find it easy to do. So let’s begin! 1. Establishing a Hairline When it comes to drawing hair, the very first thing you will need to establish is your character’s hair line. This is where the hair begins, and making sure you have this in place before starting any sketching will ensure the hair you are creating will be placed correctly on the character’s head. There are many different hair lines, four examples are shown in the …

How To Create an 8-Bit Pixel Character in Illustrator
Apr 29th
If you’re a regular reader of my blog you’ll know I love creating artwork in Illustrator using simple or basic shapes. This tutorial takes that idea to the extreme by using nothing by the rectangle tool to create a simple 8-bit style pixel character. Pixels are usually associated with Photoshop, but the great thing about Illustrator is your artwork is 100% vector, so unlike Photoshop you can scale your design to any size while retaining those blocky 8-bit characteristics. The character we’ll be creating is a 50′s style greaser with slick pompadour, leather jacket and blue jeans. All the features of the character have to be extremely simplified to fit within the pixel grid, so it takes a little imagination to reconstruct your character with basic blocks. In Photoshop if you zoom in far enough you’ll see the individual square pixels, but in Illustrator we’ll need to set up a grid to work from. Under the View menu option select the Show Grid option and make sure Snap to Grid is turned on. Select the rectangle tool then draw a square within the major grid lines. The rectangle will automatically snap to…
