Clouds from Above Photoshop tutorial

The creation of nice and realistic clouds is actually not too demanding on time or technology. In spite of this I had been painting clouds in a particular method, which had not been generating satisfying results for many years. The main reason for this was because I wanted to paint everything with one brush, soft or hard. I really didn’t like clouds painted in this way. Recently I decided to change the way I do things. It resulted in finding out a method which allows me to paint very realistic sky scenery. First of all I’ll explain the basic principle of painting clouds. I use two types of brushes. First one is soft with smooth transition, the second with harder edge. It’s because when you take a look at the cloud, you’ll find out that its kind of a strange blend of smooth transitions in one hand and sharp contrasts with hard and bright outlines on the other. In the next few pictures I’ll show you how to perfect the illusion of marvellous fluffy cumulus clouds.

Hoang Nguyen explains how to create a simple composition, lay out an interesting background, and define the light source

Basic composition is very important. Many artists put too much distracting detail in their painting, so in this project we’ll focus on how to direct viewers into the image and simplify the background, so it doesn’t overwhelm the main theme. Then we’ll explore how to create an interesting background to complement the subject. Lastly, we’ll define where the light source is coming from, to tie all the elements together.

Creating surreal landscapes Photoshop tutorial

When it comes to creating out-of-this-world images, the only limit is your imagination. Justin Maller shows you how to get flawless results.

If you ever had a poster of Salvador Dalí’s melting clocks or spindle-legged camels on your student bedroom wall, you’ll recognise this picture’s influences immediately.

The blank, open landscape, the juxtaposition of semi-random elements, and even the colour palette can be traced to surrealism. Another thing that the image has inherited from Dalí is close attention to detail and a high level of polish: while the images are random, the craftsmanship is meticulous.

Digital artist Magnus Kjäll conjures up an impossible landscape combining nature photography and vectors

I’ve always loved 3D modelling. Or rather, I’ve always loved imagining the possibilities it holds. Whenever I’ve braced myself enough to finally give it some serious attention, I usually end up frustrated because of the technical challenges.

Obviously I don’t have the patience to dedicate my spare time to a 3D program, so it’s best for me to concentrate on what I know. And that’s taking something ugly and dull into Photoshop and turning it into something more attractive and, more importantly, something that is my own idea.
