Step 1

We need a blank canvas to start working. Create a new file something similar to the one here. Whenever you are not sure about the dimensions just start with something and later you can always increase or decrease the canvas size.
img(1)

Step 2

Here we will create some basic shapes around which we will build our design. Select the Polygon Tool from the from the tool bar. We can edit the number of sides of the polygon. Since we need to draw a triangle, set the sides count to 3. Same time select the shape layers option and draw. This will create a new layer with an editable vector path. We can use the path for several different things.
img(2)
We have the triangle here which is a shape layer. It has a vector path associated with it. We can use to perform path operations like adding, subtracting, excluding and so on. So here you can see how to use the path of the shape layer to cut a hole in the shape. First copy and paste the path. Then scale it down and position it. Once the path is in desired position and select Subtract From Shape Area option.
img(3)

Step 3

Here I am going to add more elements that will define the outline. Use the Rectangle Tool to create the shape.
img(4)

Step 4

Press Ctrl + T to enter transform mode. Right click on the shape and choose Skew. Click and move the pointer across shape.
img(5)

Step 5

After you skewed the shape, duplicate it by simply pressing Ctrl + J. That will create a copy of the shape. Select the shape and press Ctrl + T. Choose Flip Horizontal from the menu.
img(6)

Step 6

Now position the slanted shapes over the triangle. Press Ctrl + T and rotate the shape by -60 degrees. Use the Info palette (F8) to view the coordinates.
img(7)

Step 7

Rotate and reposition the other shape as well. Place both the shapes underneath the triangle layer.
img(8)

Step 8

Open up the paper texture. Drag and drop the texture in to the design. Place it at very bottom in the layer stack.
img(9)

Step 9

Flip the texture first vertically then horizontally.
img(10)

Step 10

Take off the color from the texture. The simple shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + U. You can achieve the same result by using the Hue/Saturation dialog box and reducing the saturation to -100.
img(11)

Step 11

Increase the lightness of the texture using the Curves dialog box (Ctrl + M). Adjust the black point, white point and mid tones of the texture.
img(12)

Step 12

Open up the half tone textures in Illustrator. Copy the texture you see here!
img(13)

Step 13

Head back to Photoshop. Press Ctrl + V to paste the texture. Place it below the shape layers and above the texture layer. Resize it accordingly.
img(14)

Step 12

There is a part of the texture I want to hide. Use the layer mask to do this. Add layer mask to the texture, select the part using Lasso Tool. Click on the layer mask and fill the selection with black.
img(15)

Step 13

Now bring in the paint texture (Watercolors pack, 030.jpg). Place it above the halftone pattern. Resize the texture.
img(16)

Step 14

Hide unwanted areas using a mask.
img(17)

Step 15

Add and Curves adjustment layer to the water color texture. At the bottom of the Layers palette you can see a small black and white circle. Click on it and select Curves. This will create an adjustment layer of curves just above the texture. Adjustment layers lets you work in a non destructive manner. You can adjust them, disable them or just remove them at any time. After you edited the curve, there is a tiny button on the adjustments panel at the bottom. Click it to clip the adjustment layer to the texture below.
img(18)

Step 16

The texture has a white background and we need to remove it somehow. So at this point we can take advantage of the Photoshop’s advanced blending feature. To access it double click on the layer. Layer Styles dialog box will pop up. In the Blending Options category you can locate the “Blend if” section at the bottom. This is where everything is going to happen. All you need to do is press down “Alt” key, click on the little white handle and move your pointer across the little gradient ramp towards your left. You can see the result in the background. When you feel it is looking good click OK
img(19)

Step 17

I drew a line using the Line Tool. Then Rotated it by -60 degrees to match the other elements of the design.
img(20)

Step 18

Open up the paint splatter (drips and spray paint pack, 2.png).
img(21)

Step 19

Drag it into the composition. Place it above the water color texture
img(22)

Step 20

We are going to bring several images into our composition procedurally. Let’s start with the main model stock image. She is photographed against a black background. Same time her outfit and cap are also black. So instead of using other selection tools I used the Pen Tool to draw selection around her. You can just leave off those fine strands of hair. It won’t have much effect in this case.
img(24)

Step 21

When finished drawing path turn it into a selection. You can simply hit Ctrl + Enter to do this. Or just right click on the path and choose Make Selection.
img(25)

Step 22

Now hit Ctrl + J (Layer via copy) to create a new layer of the isolated model. Right click on the layer and choose Convert to Smart Object. Smart objects are really smart in many ways. You can apply smart filters to them which are completely editable reversible. You can scale them up and down without losing the actual pixel information of the image.
img(26)

Step 23

Bring the model into the composition. Resize it and place above all the shape layers.
img(27)

Step 24

Add curves adjustment layer. Adjust the mid tones slightly.
img(28)

Step 25

I want to hide parts of the image that falling outside the main shape layers. We can use the vector paths from the shape layers vector mask to load selection. Hold “Ctrl” key and click on the Vector Mask thumbnail. that will simply load the selection.
img(29)

Step 26

While the selection is active, click back on the model layer and click on the Add Layer Mask button.
img(30)

Step 27

The mask we just applied has blocked anything that is outside of the triangle including the face. So we need to get it back. Take the Lasso Tool and roughly select the region we need to uncover.
img(31)

Step 28

When you selected, click on the Layer Mask thumbnail and fill the selection with white of #ffffff.
img(32)

Step 29

We still have some areas needed to be uncovered. Load selection from the slanted shapes just we did earlier. You can combine selections by holding “Shift” key along with “Ctrl” when loading a second selection.
img(33)

Step 30

We have the perfect selection that we can use to reveal the blocked area. Click on the model’s Layer Mask and fill the selection with white.
img(34)
And here is the result of it! So we pretty much finished with this lady!
img(35)

Step 31

We are going to add another model to the comp. Select her using the Pen Tool.
img(36)

Step 32

Press Ctrl + J to create a new layer from the selected area. Convert it into a smart object
img(37)

Step 33

Drag and drop it into the main comp.
img(38)

Step 34

Flip the image horizontally. Press Ctrl + T, right click and choose the flip option.
img(39)

Step 35

Send her back to the main model. Scale down it.
img(40)

Step 36

We need to perform some color operations to match the main model. First add a Curves adjustment layer, adjust the curve to pump up the contrast and also to brighten up the mid tones. Clip the layer to the model layer.
img(41)

Step 37

Add Vibrance adjustment layer. Adjust the values using the sliders to get the tone and mood right.
img(42)

Step 38

We need the model to fit inside the triangle. Follow the same procedure as we did with the other model. Load selection from the triangle’s vector path.
img(43)

Step 39

Add Layer Mask using the selection.
img(44)

Step 40

Unhide the head part of the model.
img(45)

Step 41

Create a new layer just above the model layer. Paint shadow using a round soft brush
img(46)

Step 42

Define a new gradient in using the gradient palette. Make one side of the gradient transparent.
img(47)

Step 43

Load selection from the triangle in the middle.
img(48)

Step 44

Before you apply the gradient, create a new layer above both the model layers. Take the Gradient Tool and draw from the left corner to downwards at an angle.
img(49)

Step 45

Change the Layer Blending mode to Lighten. Hide if you have any hard edges using a soft brush.
img(50)
I created another layer and this time I applied gradient on the bottom part of the selection.
img(51)

Step 46

Open the black raven image with Photoshop. We need to cut out the bird. There are a couple of ways to achieve this. We will employ the Color Range command to do this since we have a plain background. You can find the Color Range command under Select > Color Range. Hover your mouse over the thumbnail box and pick the white color using the color picker.
img(52)

Step 47

Press Ok. Now we have all the white are is selected, press Ctrl + Shift + I to invert the selection.
img(53)

Step 48

We will fine tune the selection using the Refine Edge command. It is located under Select > Refine Edge (Ctrl + Alt + R). Refine Edges is a great feature to work with selections. We can modify the selections in many different ways. We can contract or expand, apply feather and smooth the selection and so on. Adjust the sliders to fine tune the selection. When it’s good press OK.
img(54)

Step 49

Press Ctrl + J to separate the bird into a new layer. Now we can drag this into the main composition! But first convert it into a Smart Object.
img(55)
Finally bring it into the composition. Adjust the rotation and size. Place it above all other layers.
img(56)

Step 50

Adjust the brightness of the bird by applying a Curves adjustment layer.
img(57)

Step 51

Open up the splatter from the pack you downloaded (drips and spray paint, 1.png). Place it below the shape layers. Then scale it down.
img(58)

Step 52

Here we have some unwanted data. Block them using a Layer Mask.
img(59)

Step 53

Add a sphere from the patterned spheres pack.
img(60)

Step 54

Create the shapes using the Rectangle Tool.
img(61)

Step 55

Open up the brush stroke image (Design Resources Pack, 028.png). Convert the image mode from Index to RGB (Image > Mode > RGB). Now drag it into the composition. Flip the brush stroke vertically and then horizontally.
img(62)

Step 56

Apply Color Overlay using the Layer Style dialog box. There are different ways to achieve the same result. You can use the Hue/Saturation command to take off the lighting from the image. Or lock down the transparent pixels of the layer and fill the layer with a color. It’s really a matter of choice at a given time. You can see me using some of those methods in this tutorial.
img(63)

Step 57

Open up the feather stock image. Select the white background using the Color Range command.
img(64)

Step 58

Below is the job color range command did for us. Not perfect but we can use it. Invert the selection and press Ctrl + J to separate the feather.
img(65)

Step 59

Now take off the lightness from it by using the Hue/Saturation command. Set the lightness value to -100 and it will creates the silhouette of our feather.
img(66)

Step 60

You can still see some holes i.e., transparent areas in the feather. Select the using the Lasso Tool. Fill the area with black.
img(67)

Step 61

Bring the feather into the main file. Place it below the model layers.
img(68)

Step 62

Here I am going to create something from scratch in Photoshop. To do it, create a new document. Take the Pen Tool, Select the Paths mode on the options bar. Draw a curvy shape. Hit Ctrl + Enter to convert it into a selection. Fill the selection with a solid color. You may like to create a shape layer instead of creating a path and turning it into a selection. Anyway, get the shape created.
img(69)
We are going to rotate this shape several times. To do that, duplicate the layer and press Ctrl + T, set the registration point to the bottom left corner and rotate it. Press enter to confirm the transformation.
img(70)

Step 63

Duplicate the second layer and go to Edit > Transform > Again. This will rotate the current layer with the previous transformation settings.
img(71)

Step 64

Repeat the process until you have something like this.
img(72)

Step 65

Once you done, select all the layers and press Ctrl + E to merge down all the layers together.
img(73)

Step 66

Now convert it into a smart object.
img(74)

Step 67

Finally make the way into Photoshop.
img(75)

Step 68

Apply Color Overlay using the Layer Styles box.
img(76)

Step 69

Add a balloon from the pack.
img(77)

Step 70

Now switch back to Illustrator. Well don’t get turned off! Photoshop and Illustrator are really meant to work together. You can get more productive incorporating Illustrator into your design flow. We can use Illustrator to produce custom graphic elements like line drawings, shapes, blends and many different vector elements for our designs. Then we can combine them with our Photoshop compositions. It doesn’t take much time once get used to it.
Here we are trying to create a cloud using the Illustrator’s Ellipse Tool. Draw some ovals and circles. Select them all and combine them using the Pathfinder palette (Window > Pathfinder)
img(78)

Step 71

Add swirls using the Swirl Tool. Click anywhere on the document. This will present a dialog box. Enter the below values. Finally draw some swirls. Align the swirls to the outline we created in the previous step. Rotate, resize according to the need. But make the edges meet perfectly with the outline shape.
img(79)

Step 72

Select the Scissors Tool and cut out the overlapping parts. Locate spot and click to cut it out. Then select the cut part and hit Delete.
img(80)

Step 73

Do the same with remaining pieces.
img(81)
img(82)
img(83)

Step 74

Fill the remaining gaps.
img(84)

Step 75

Select the outline shape and copy it (Ctrl + C). Press Ctrl + F (Paste Front). Select the Gradient Mesh Tool and click inside the cloud shape. This will add mesh lines.
img(85)

Step 76

Select the mesh points using the Mesh Tool and select a color from the color palette. After adding color send the shape backward ( Ctrl + Shift + [ )
img(86)

Step 77

Select all the shapes and copy them. Head back to Photoshop and paste it as a vector smart object.
img(87)

Step 78

Add dripping paint (drips and spray paint, 33.png)
img(88)
Place it beneath the triangle shape layer.
img(89)

Step 79

Apply color overlay.
img(90)

Step 80

Switch back to Illustrator for one last time. Create the pattern in the following image. Use the Rectangle Tool to create the shape.
img(91)

Step 81

Select all the boxes and skew them using the Transform palette. (Window > Transform)
img(92)

Step 82

Copy and paste the shape in the main file.
img(93)

Step 83

Rotate the pattern by -60 degrees.
img(94)

Step 84

Place it beneath the base shapes. Resize it.
img(95)

Step 85

Add layer mask to the pattern. Set the foreground color to black. Load the grunge brushes set into the brushes palette. Select a grunge brush and place it over the pattern, and click to apply the brush. Make sure you apply the brush in the Layer Mask.
img(96)

Step 86

Open the Auto shapes palette. And choose the pattern below. Draw the pattern.
img(97)

Step 87

Make a circular selection above the pattern. Use the selection to add Layer Mask.
img(98)

Step 88

Here I applied a brush stroke using a grunge brush (Download link provided in resources).
img(99)

Step 89

Place this layer Just above the shape layer. Press Ctrl + Alt + G to clip it to the shape layer.
img(100)

Step 90

Add some nice highlights using a round soft brush. Then set the blending mode to Screen.
img(101)

Step 100

Let’s create a light streak using the Brush Tool. Create a new layer. Click on the edge of the canvas.
img(102)
Press Ctrl + T and stretch it vertically.
img(103)

Step 101

Lock the transparent pixels of the layer. Pick a nice foreground color and press Alt + Backspace to fill the color.
img(104)

Step 102

Rotate it by -60 degrees.
img(105)

Step 103

Place it above all layers. Change the blend mode to Screen.
img(106)

Step 104

Now open up the planet stock image. Drag it into the main file. Press Ctrl + T. And enter the values in the Options bar. What we are trying to achieve is to use the glow of the planet and combine it with the model below.
img(107)

Step 105

Adjust lighting using the Curves command.
img(108)

Step 106

Slightly reduce the saturation.
img(109)

Step 107

And now hide all those hard edges of the image using Layer Mask.
img(110)

Step 108

Change the blend mode to Screen.
img(111)

Step 109

If still there are any hard edges just hide the using a soft round brush by painting inside the mask.
img(112)

Step 110

Add a new Curves adjustment layer at the very top in the layers palette. Adjust the mid tone values slightly.
img(113)

Step 111

And finally sharpen up the image. But we can’t apply sharpness filter to all layers at once. We will use the Apply Image command to achieve this. First create a new layer above all layers in the layers palette. Go to Image > Apply Image. Make sure the "Merged” option is selected in the dialog box. Press OK. This creates merged copy of the composition in our new layer.
img(114)

Step 112

Now we can apply unsharp mask filter to this layer. Go to Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask. Enter the value and press OK. And there is the final image.
img(115)
