step 1 of 21
placed the bulb --
isolated from source image, placed, resized, rotated, and masked the section behind the platform
isolated from source image, placed, resized, rotated, and masked the section behind the platform
step 2 of 21
smoothed lower-central surface of the bulb --
duplicated the bulb layer and masked the duplicate to pull out a native gradient
duplicated the bulb layer and masked the duplicate to pull out a native gradient
step 3 of 21
smoothed top-left surface of bulb --
again, using duplication and masking
again, using duplication and masking
step 4 of 21
smoothed top-right surface of bulb --
again, using duplication and masking
again, using duplication and masking
step 5 of 21
blocked out light trails --
duplicated and warped concrete panels from the background to cover the light trails from the train in the background image (bulb hidden to better show this)
duplicated and warped concrete panels from the background to cover the light trails from the train in the background image (bulb hidden to better show this)
step 6 of 21
created train body --
duplicated bulb again, resized and rotated; masked it in a long cylinder; warped reflection on the front car to bend down to meet the reflection running the length of the train
duplicated bulb again, resized and rotated; masked it in a long cylinder; warped reflection on the front car to bend down to meet the reflection running the length of the train
step 7 of 21
began joining front car to train --
used airbrush to start hiding the joint between the front car and the train
used airbrush to start hiding the joint between the front car and the train
step 8 of 21
more joining and shading --
used airbrush to continue the joining process
used airbrush to continue the joining process
step 9 of 21
continued joining front car to train --
continued using airbrush set to a low flow rate and 0% hardness to make many blended brushstrokes
continued using airbrush set to a low flow rate and 0% hardness to make many blended brushstrokes
step 10 of 21
finished shading train --
finished using airbrush set to a low flow rate and 0% hardness to make many blended brushstrokes
finished using airbrush set to a low flow rate and 0% hardness to make many blended brushstrokes
step 11 of 21
created rubber lining for first sliding door --
used paths to create a door outline and filled with black; set the layer to 50% opacity
used paths to create a door outline and filled with black; set the layer to 50% opacity
step 12 of 21
created white paint liner around first door --
used paths to create a door outline smaller than the black one and filled with white; set the layer to 50% opacity
used paths to create a door outline smaller than the black one and filled with white; set the layer to 50% opacity
step 13 of 21
created first door --
used paths to create a door outline and created new layer from copy from the train body
used paths to create a door outline and created new layer from copy from the train body
step 14 of 21
created door seam --
used path to create a door seam and stroked path with black; set the layer to 50% opacity
used path to create a door seam and stroked path with black; set the layer to 50% opacity
step 15 of 21
created second door --
using same methods as those used to create first door
using same methods as those used to create first door
step 16 of 21
created lip for window of front car --
used paths to create an outline of the window, filled with white, blurred the layer, removed the interior fill leaving an outline
used paths to create an outline of the window, filled with white, blurred the layer, removed the interior fill leaving an outline
step 17 of 21
desaturated window area --
used paths to select window area, filled with black and set layer to Saturation
used paths to select window area, filled with black and set layer to Saturation
step 18 of 21
created tinted window --
used path to select window area, filled with black, set opacity to 90%, set layer to Multiply to preserve a little of the reflection
used path to select window area, filled with black, set opacity to 90%, set layer to Multiply to preserve a little of the reflection
step 19 of 21
added "METRO" lettering --
pulled the word "METRO" from "Cafe Metro" on the source image; rotated and resized; set layer to 10% opacity; set layer to Lighten; duplicated layer; set duplicate layer opacity to 50%; set duplicate layer to Lighten
pulled the word "METRO" from "Cafe Metro" on the source image; rotated and resized; set layer to 10% opacity; set layer to Lighten; duplicated layer; set duplicate layer opacity to 50%; set duplicate layer to Lighten
step 20 of 21
extracted portion of sign from source image
step 21 of 21
(final result) created small informational sign --
rotated and resized extracted portion from source image; Free Transformed layer to fit the perspective; created a background layer for the sign and filled with dark blue
rotated and resized extracted portion from source image; Free Transformed layer to fit the perspective; created a background layer for the sign and filled with dark blue
