As I explained in the previous post, about how the ideas of this painting appeared and at the same time made it a challenge, here I will briefly illustrate the process steps in doing so. I can’t make it as a video because it certainly can’t be posted here considering the restrictions of posting.
The idea of this painting is that I want to put the Let’s Do More message as a wall painting.
Step 1.
For that idea I have taken two pictures; the first is an image of a collection on a computer that is colorful and gave it a little effect. The effect was made by photographing the image by closing the camera with a tea filter. The second picture is my hand with an index finger raised.
Step 2.
I then edited both images with PhotoMania. You can choose any effect that suits your ideas and desires.
Step 3.
Both images from the selection results of various effects that we have made from PhotoMania, then re-edit with others effect of that photo editor.
Step 4.
We edit these two images or we enrich them with other media that in this case, I do with Paint 3D to fit my idea. That’s a freehands work. The first is to thicken the lines around the index finger and darken the surrounding area. I do that with crayons and watercolors. After that, edit again with PhotoMania to give the appropriate effect.
Step 5.
Combine both images with Powerpoint. I use Powerpoint so that the connection lines of the bricks between the two images can be well and neatly aligned. After merging is complete, save the image with “save as picture”.
Step 6.
Synchronize the two images’ connections with Paint3D, with all available painting tools so that the connection between the two images is no longer visible.
Step 7.
I wrote the slogan with freehands with the same media, then slightly cropped the left side to further streamline the image.
Step 8.
Finishing step of this painting was by perfecting all parts of the painting with full editing using Paint 3D. You can crop the PhotoMania logo or close it with paint. The last way was what I did so that the image size remains the way I want.
The final result image I posted here has also received an additional touch so that it appears different from the one previously posted. Do you see the difference?
You can paint anything for the challenge, and don’t have to bother to put two pictures together. The important thing is to make a painting that is completely different from the original photo and also from the PhotoMania edits.
Well, that’s the simple tutorial. May you have fun with your experiments while enjoying cold days in December.
Nice tutorial Albert. I might upload my own tutorials as well very soon. Thanks for this.
Thank you, John, I was curious about the tutorial that you will upload! That must be cool stuff, eh?
Nice tutorial and explanation with the photo. It is easy to understand and looks very interesting. I use sometimes photomania.
Thank you so much for your appreciation, Saqlain Neon. I initiated this challenge because many friends use Photomania as it really is, and I challenge friends here to see other possibilities of its use and as much as possible to make an original image to become completely different.
The tips from your tutorial interested me very much, should try some of these photoeffects.
Thanks, Anastasia. That is just an example, many other things can be done. Will you join in this challenge?
Maybe, try to join it later.
Thank you for your kindness, Anastasia. I’ll wait for your work all my life then.
OMG, don’t do it, it’s not worth it:)
Hahaha… What’s not worth for? Your works? Oh, come on…
ooh waoo, That’s nice Tutorial Albert..
So, You Using using Photomania Great..
I used PhotoMania so far because of challenges from friends here and now it’s my turn to challenge back but with more effort. Will you join this challenge, Hamza?
This is really cool and I think that if you really apply yourself to it that anyone can do it after learning what to do. I know photoshop and some other photo images can be really hard to do when you don’t know the tricks and what to do. I love this post and I hope to see more.
You are right, Lucky. If we “put ourselves in it”, our intentions, enthusiasm, thoughts, and actions will be in harmony and will be able to do something better, further. With this challenge, I inspire friends who like to use a variety of photo editors to do more while for those who have not been able to enjoy the adventure of creativity with their own imagination. Thank you for your visit and wise thoughts.
By the way, do I have the possibility to see your work?
uhhhh … it looks very complicated, but I’ll try
Seeing and imagining it does look complicated but not if we do it. Just prove it if I’m wrong. Hahaha…
My friend, you’re a real virtuoso … a wonderful piece of art
Awhhh… What a great compliment, dear friend. Thanks a lot…
With great pleasure my friend
You make a great teacher. I do not have Powerpoint or Paint but I will see what else I have. Thank you for these important steps.
It doesn’t matter you don’t have both programs but I’m sure you have other programs to make things. This post is just an example to make something different.
While waiting for your work, soon I will post another work with a different process.
And I do see the difference in the two photos.
That means you are ready to make it too, right? I have posted a second work so that my friends can get additional references.
I am going to try it and I want you to know I am terrified!
I’m glad to know that you will do it, Trenna, because if you don’t, you will just disappoint yourself.
IMpressive both the actual image and your tutorial on how to arrive. Sadly I do not have the talent to be a part of the challenge, but I will read and watch!
Are you joking that you have no talent? You? A man with millions of images and technology experts?
My art is poetry, visually I am challenged.
I just rewrote the title of this challenge here: “Let’s Do More”. Hehe…
I will find one of the pictures and create a poem about it to participate!
That’s okay too… I’ll wait for your poem, Coach.
I will start working on it now. Well, at lunch today.
Yeah! I’m so happy with that!
I know that I shall never write
A poem
Anywhere near
As
Nice
As a tree.
Ah haah…
why are there people
plant beautiful trees
on someone else’s page?
They are the children
Whose empty swing
Now touches nothing
The ropes
Slowly
Rotting
No longer a swing
For it is not used
Just a memory of a tree that once was.
In the past
it is an interesting stop
source of joy
now obsolete has eaten it
make brittle
rotten
may have run out
eaten by the soil of era
but not all human children
who ever swung there
can go free from swing
to swing his life
in the swing of life now.
OK, that now that one the start of an amazing poetry. The image of “soil of era” eating the swing of childhood is haunting.
Tomorrow I will put your poem and me in a special post.
Nice! It is fun to collaborate and interact with you, sir!
Thanks. I say the same about you, Sir.
Hmmm … this is really do ALOT more lol …
Do I have to follow everything you use or I could do with other programs?
As long as its 2 programs or more? Or just more effects?
Do we have to post like the originals photos as well?
You may use any media, the important thing is that you show the real difference from the original image.
And to show that difference, should be better you post the original image.
Roger that!!
Hmm … I see what I can do … :p
I am sure you can do many things, my friend.
Hahaha… Why do you just copy and paste part of my writing, my friend?
welldone nice work keep it going
Thanks, Zain. Don’t you feel challenged yet?
Sounds confusing lol, but very interessting. Photomania works well, but Paint 3D does not. I will stay with using just Photomania lol.
I’m sure this night an angel will come in your dreams and say, “Don’t stay just using Photomania, let’s do more”. lol
