Honestly if I were a public projects artist and had a large budget, this is exactly how I would design a fountain.

This is so fucking funny like you see this cool, tacky golden weave bowl & look closer to see that it’s a mass of writhing bodies of fallen soilders twisted into another in agony like something out of full metal alchemist
Woke up at 2am and couldn’t fall back asleep so I made a tutorial on the Photoshop techniques I use most frequently. Starting with the sketch:

- adjustment layers: specifically the hue/saturation slider in this case, allows you to color correct quickly

- lasso tool: for sharp edges!

- alpha lock: useful for painting within a pre-defined area (especially useful when painting characters)

- x (hotkey) : toggle between foreground + background colors- let’s you easily blend between 2 colors

- ctrl/cmd click : quickly change current active layer. Especially useful if you’re burdened with too many layers (or just very disorganized)

- clipping mask: similar to alpha lock, but can add details without changing/ painting directly on the previous layer. I often use them to test out + apply gradients.

- layer styles: I didn’t use any in this image, but the possibilities for layer styles endless, from simply adding a quick outline (useful for die cut demarcations when making stickers!) to creating more seemingly complex appearances. Here’s a gif of Nick Carver using layer styles (a combo of drop shadows + inner shadows) to quickly make the illusion of snow but with simple strokes.

ending on this:

Awesome
This is an appreciation post for the coolest horned animals.
