Hi all! After a long hiatus, here I am again tinkering with Photoshop. I figured I’d need to practice more if I want to retain what I’ve learned last spring. Anyway, this mini-project was inspired by the movie “Once” which stars Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. I was struck by its simplicity and raw expression of their emotions through their music. It’s also funny because I have heard of them as a band (The Swell Season) a few years ago and their hit song “Falling Slowly” but never actually got to watch this movie until now. So, after watching it, I was inspired to make a simple sketch using a sharpie.
Then, I figured I could make something more out of it using photoshop, so I looked for textures from Google Images and found this.
Using the mode [multiply], and text tool, I was able to come up with this:
And that’s it for my first ever fan art poster. I’ve got to say, I’m learning to love Photoshop even more.
