I’m wishing on a star
Heey everyone, I took a break from painting today and did something else. PHOTO MANIPULATION! wee! These are soo much fun to do but it’s kind of hard to get started…well for me anyway haha.
But, like always, Deviantart, Google and Youtube were all there to inspire! So I bring you today…. The 10th Kingdom!!!
For those of you who don’t know, The 10th Kingdom is a mini series about a woman and her father from New York, who stumble upon a magic mirror that leads them to the 9 kingdoms which are all fairy tale places. Snow White, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood…things like that. It’s an awesome movie…so set aside 10hrs and get watching! =D
This photo manipulation was pretty simple. I just took a photo of central park from Google and adding a bunch of stuff….I watched the opening of The 10th Kingdom a few times to get inspiration. lol
Doing photo manipulations and graphics in GIMP or Photoshop – or whatever you use – is, what I think, a great way to get to know the program. When I used Paint.net, GIMP and Photoshop…they’re all similar but at the same time very different. GIMP is more advanced then Paint.net and Photoshop just beats the other two with a stick. lol Finding a picture and doing a bunch of random effects to them (paying attention to what your using of course…if not, then this whole excerise is pointless lol) shows you what tool/filter/whatever does what.
So give this a try; I’d like to see whatever art you come up with. =)
Oh btw I found some awesome sites for photo manipulation tutorials, I did a few and just read other. Enjoy!!
