Posting today a little BTS video of my latest project, which took me approx 8 hours to finish. To explain a little, I only took a pic of Tim and the books myself. The rest is all stock photos (I wish I had such beautiful beaches near me 😫). I started by combining two pics to create the background. I then added the books and Tim. I used 3 different images for this : the angle at which he is sitting was hard to master so I cut him in several parts. But this is something I often do anyway as you have probably noticed! 😉 The compass, boats and shells were all added easily. I also had fun changing the book titles! 😉 Thankfully there was no crazy effects or things to draw by hand this time (my worst nightmare 🤭) so the whole thing was fun to do! 😍 Hope you enjoy it as much as I did 😘
Im back with another Photoshop project! 🥳 And this time, my lovely father-in-law, Tim @tim_gman , agreed to pose for me! Thank you Tim for being so patient 😊🙌🏻 (poor Tim had to pose quite a few times for me as I had no clue what I was doing…🤓😅 The angle at which I was taking the photo was never matching with the rest of the image - my eternal problem! 🙄). So…what is this photo all about then? 😉 Well, I wanted to talk about my father-in-law and 2 of his passions : sailing and books. Tim is a very good sailor and an avid reader (he always has plenty of good recommendations 😊)! I love asking him how things work on the boat too (hint : it’s pretty complex (Im forever lost with the specific vocabulary 🤪)…but also fascinating!). And I absolutely love sailing when we go to see the family, always such fun!! 😍😊 I hope this pic represents him well, Ive tried my best 💕
As promised, here the BTS video of that moon project 😉 Sorry, it is really fast - I had to compress 13 hours worth of work into 2 minutes and it was no easy task 😨 I have cut a LOT of *not-so-interesting* things. To be honest, I faffed with this courgette explosion for soooo long as I had no idea how to do this 😆…what you’re seeing in this video is only the last version of it, the one I’ve decided to use for this pic. I’ve also cut all the faff around photoshopping my legs. I posed first with one leg bent but I thought it looked weird so I had to take more pics and what you’re seeing is also the final version. You will also notice that I did not put make up on my face…I couldn’t be bothered as I knew my face would be partially covered by the helmet…so then I used photoshop to sort it all out! Amazing what you can do 🤣😂 I’ve had lots of fun doing this and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 😉
Hi friends, long time no see! 😏😝 Sooo…where do I start with this one? Have you ever imagined that a yellow courgette (yes it’s a courgette, not a carrot or sweet potato like some of my friends thought 😂) could be so heavy it would propel you all the way to the moon? 😂 Let me explain where that comes from… Our lovely neighbours gave us a while ago one of their giant yellow courgettes from their garden and they said jokingly that I should use it for one of my photoshop projects. So my mind went into overdrive (obvs 🤓) and after chatting with my husband, we came up with this crazy idea. I mean…Elon Musk eat your heart out, right? 😆 So…for the details now - let me tell you, drawing an explosion around the courgette was REALLY hard. I started over a million times and I felt so disheartened. To be honest, Im still not 100% happy with it but Im absolutely r-u-b-b-i-s-h at drawing so I guess this is the best I can do for now! 🤷🏻‍♀️ But I will learn one day! 💪🏻 Also, I had to take pics of myself in the weirdest positions as usual and my body is made of several pics! I will post a few BTS in my stories and I will post a video later today or tomorrow so you can see how I created this 😉 Hope you like it 😘
Im back, friends! 😍🥳 This time my lovely mother-in-law, Carol @carollyg , happily posed for me! 😉 Doesn’t she look amaaazing?? 😍 To explain a little, my father/mother-in-law came to see us recently, all the way from England. We were chatting one day about photoshop and I asked Carol out of the blue if she wanted to be in one of my projects. I was amazed to hear that she was happy to do so…so soon after, we started talking about the details. To be honest, we started with a completely different idea but I couldn’t find anything that was good enough. So one day, we sat down together and built the image little by little…til we got to this crazy idea!! 😂🤣 And even though I was a bit worried of making Carol sit in an inflatable unicorn (😂😜🤔), I think it suits her very well!!! 😍 You can definitely see how the beautiful bright colours and the funny side to this picture represent her personality very well : bubbly, funny, happy person! 🥰
Check out this beach babe my friends! 😜😂 Isn’t my sister looking awesome? 😉 So…remember when I asked you to give me a word for my next photoshop project? Two people gave me the asparagus word and I thought this must be a sign so I went for that. Now…I had one big problem when I started : asparagus were not in season anymore where I live! 😬 So yeah, let me tell you that the only "thing" I’ve photographed myself this time was my sister and the cocktail/book (the lemon didn’t even exist, I added it! 😂). The rest is all stock photos (all on free websites, amazingly!). I started with asparagus being just a simple raft and when we took pics with my sister, we found it was easier to photograph her sitting down. Then my sister came up with the idea of having one asparagus behind her back, which made sense. Then I asked her to pose with her mouth open to look surprised and when I edited, it looked a bit weird so I decided to add that little fish to make more sense (see photo no 2 for more details) 😂🤣 This photo was very much made up as I went along - I had a basic idea but changed things little by little. It took me approx 8 hours to do it 🥵😅 Im pretty happy with it, except maybe with the water reflection of the raft which, frankly, was a nightmarrree 🤯 I watched countless tutorials but meh…not happy. Will have to try again with another pic 😉 Im posting a little BTS in my stories as usual and then will post a longer video very soon so you can have a look 😉 Thanks Isa @isabelsanhueza_14 for accepting to pose in a swimming costume for me! I told you it would be cool! 😜😎 Hope you like it 😘
