DISTURBIA Knockoff Tutorial

Images: Drew 1 Drew 2 Drew 3 Fiyahh GRUNGE Flower




Alrighty so our first Aim and Claim piece is requested by Super.Nova. I always liked this

piece but never

thought to recreate it so making it was fun. Now I couldn't figure out exactly how the

original artist did it

but hopefully this tut will give you a basic idea on how to get a look like this.

Create a New Canvas 700 x 500


White background


Create a New Layer and with your rectangular marquee tool draw a rectangle on the right side

of the

canvas and fill with grey #ededed. Just choose a size you like, I used [280 x 500]


Get Drew 1 and drag it to your canvas


1. With the elliptical marquee tool draw a circle around her similar to the one seen

below.



2. When the marching ants appear


SHIFT CTRL I


To make it an inverse selection


3. Then hit delete twice you should have something like step 3 in the pic below


Lower Drew's opacity to 63%

Time to clean up


Get a soft eraser size 56


Opacity: 46% and Flow 52%


Slowly go around drew and erase the grey as best as you can. Be careful- a small grey glow

can work but

you don't want to erase Drew.

Drag Layer Drew so that her torso kisses the grey line.


See if you're with me

If you are let's get Drew 2 we're going to

treat her in a similar way that we treated Drew 1



Drag and position her so that her chest/dress is kissing where the grey and white line meet

also she should be slightly above Drew 1


Use the elliptical tool to draw a circle around her


SHIFT CTRL I


Inverse select


Hit delete


Get a brush size 83


Opacity 84% Flow 52%


And gently erase as you did Drew 1 in this case though gently erase the front of her dress

not too much

but to give the effect that she's erupting from the grey space= if that makes sense.


Check if you're with me

If you are lets continue to Drew 3


Drag Drew 3 to your canvas, downsize her just

a bit pull her to sit on the grey part of the canvas right under Drew 2. Then treat her like

the others


Soft eraser size 80


Same flow and opacity


Erase until she also seems to be floating from out of the grey canvas- take your time.


Lower the Layer's fill to 88%


You should have something like this.

ADDITIVES


Now that we have the basic outline lets get the flames going and add a few textures. Seeing

that this isn't my piece it's not going to look the same and I don't think I should do it

exactly the same way ...now that I've got that off my chest let's continue.



Get Fire 1 and drag it to your canvas


OK based on how fiery you want her hair to be you can get other fire pictures.


Desaturate the Fire 1 layer


SHIFT CTRL U


Position it over her hair and set the layer style to lighten.


With the same size brush or smaller erase the fire from her face clean up.


Check yourself

You can simply ctrl J duplicate the fire layer and drag it to the other parts of the blend

that you want to

have that fiery look.


Drag the grunge texture to your canvas


Set Layer style to Darken


Lower Opacity to 49


Now in the original the grey is a sharp cut so lets get our rectangular marquee tool and cut

out the

excess grunge in the texture that's on the grey side.


With a soft eraser get rid of the excess on the white side.

You should have something like this

Now lets get the line flower and drop it in

there- or any better looking texture really...


Set it to darken and lower the opacity to 60%


Position it in the midst of the grunge




ADD TEXT

I used font Courier- figured most computers should have that font.


Size 36


Place it above all and try and get DIST on the white side of the canvas and URBIA on the

left. URBIA should be white and DIST should be grey


[Use the eyedropper tool to get the color grey #ededed from the right side of the canvas.]

Posted Image


OPTIONAL


[make a merged copy of the blend]


CTRL A


SHIFT CTRL C


CTRL V


Set to screen, get the rectangular marquee and draw a box over the entire white side of the

canvas and

hit delete.


Now with a soft brush erase all around Drew 3. So she has a slight glow.




Fin.
