“Go simultaneously backward and forward in time with this Steampunk tutorial. The main focus, aside from the style of course, is fusing elements from different sources together to create a cohesive whole. There are many tricks to this end and we shall be looking at light sources, shadows, and image grading” James Davies

Here is a link to the written version of the tutorial How to Create a Steampunk Style Illustration in Photoshop and the video version is below.



We have another Psd Plus tutorial exclusively available to Plus members today. If you want to take your illustrative skills to the next dimension, then we have an exciting tutorial for you. Discover how to use Multiple 3D programs to create a composed render, then use Photoshop to add texture, polish, and refinement!

Create 3D Renders, Combine Textures, and Add Photoshop Polishing Techniques

In this tutorial I’ll walk you through a hypothetical brief on creating a magazine illustration. To start off, I’ll show you how to painlessly export/import Poser meshes into Cinema 4D, where you’ll perform a Boolean intersection and discover how Object Buffers and Multi-Pass renders can save you hours of post production time in Photoshop. Finally, you’ll learn how to transform a 3D render into something quite unique by building up its weight and density with some real-world textures.
