P_6 Basic Masking & Lighting Techniques |
| When working on a mask you will use White, Black or any shades of gray they produce. White will erase the mask and Black will add to the mask. You can use about any brush you want, I rely on the Airbrush most of the time. You will probably have to adjust the size of the brush in the Controls:Brush palette. Select the PumpkinMask. Use Black to add some teeth. Use white to change the eyes the way you want. If you make a mistake, switch to Black and fill in the area and start again. My pumpkin now looks like this (21). Select the Glow layer, open the Layers section to do it. Press the (D) key and the Dropper tool will appear on the canvas. Click once on the lower right just inside the Pumpkins mouth. In the Colors palette move the Saturation/Value Triangle ring to a slightly darker shade of orange. Paint in the shadows until you have something that looks like this (22). Save your file. |

| In the Layers section close the Eye on the Pumpkin layer. Click on the Glow layer and then press the New button to create a new layer. Using the same colors as the Glow layer, draw a small candle with melting wax in the center of the Pumpkins mouth. Select the Glow layer. Choose Effects > Surface Control > Apply Lighting, the Apply Lighting dialog box will appear. Use these settings (23) and you should get results similar to this (24). |
