Happy Halloween! Digital Tutorial by Theresa mARTin

The paperwhimsy collage sheets have wonderful whimsical girls and boys. I thought it would be fun to darken the mood of one of them for Halloween using Photoshop to make the gal a wee bit ominous. She is still a sweet beauty but I’ve given her a slightly spooky edge.

I opened the file in Photoshop and darkened and lightened the levels until she glowed a slight amount on the light side of her face and darkened a slight amount on the shaded part of her face. I added bat wings,  a couple of skeletons, some interesting architecture and a dark gradient to give her environment that spooky halloween feeling.

By slightly moving the dark levels and the light levels towards the center the lighting takes on a spooky feeling.

Part of the fun with digital pieces is the ease with which one can change around the images and get different versions.
