Unit 2: Space- AJttCotE: photoshop mushroom forest fixed



Added textures
Using one of my images from the mushroom forest model, I've tried to recreate the scene following its light/ darkness. The look of the result looks a bit too dark, but also experiemented further by adding textures as TutorPhil had suggested. I'm not sure have I done the image texture thing right. :S

  1. Great to see you trying stuff out, Joey - but you're trying to 'fix' your original painting via this method, and I'm going to suggest that you use this method to generate more thumbnails from scratch. So, you move the lighting to the back and quickly put together a tonal thumbnail of the results, then from the side, from above etc. Work them up quickly, just to get a feel for some lighting effects. Here, your forest is now very dark, but if you look at woodland and forests, you have sections were high points of light carry the eye deep into the space, because the light is making it through the canopy to spotlight and rimlight different parts of the composition.

    Put more simply, you need to create a more dynamic play of highlights and detail - use light to pick out detail and tighten up your structures - everything here is still too soft, so that the eye just sinks into a general feeling as opposed to being directed around the image.

    This is all exciting stuff, Joey - so keep thinking through doing - and let's see more of those photos and resulting studies on here.
