Step 25

Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J) to create new bushes. You can change the size using the transform tool (crtl + T) Add all these 3 layers to a group. To do this Select all 3 layer press right-click and use the option “group from layers”. Now create a new adjustment layer “hue/Saturation” and reduce the saturation to -70. Apply a clipping mask to the group of layers to affect only the bushes. You also can reduce the lighting to -25.

Step 26

Repeat the same process with the tree branches add them to the image, and add 5px of Gaussian blur to them.

step-027

Change the layer mode to soft light and reduce the opacity to 50%

Step 28

In a new layer paint with a chalk brush with a light gray to create some fog. Use the brush in 20% of opacity

step-028

Step 29

Create a new adjustment layer “curves” and change it to this. This will help to make the model stand out because the background is going to be darker

step-029

Over the layer mask paint with black all the center and just leave the darker places on the sides.

Step 30

Go to the top of all the layers and add the texture, reduce the saturation of the texture -50. Change layer mode to soft light and reduce the opacity to 50%

step-030

Step 31

The last step is adding a color adjustment that will make the art have even a more dramatic light. So go to “new fill or adjustment layer” and choose the option Color Lookup then choose Late Sunset

step-031

Now go to the Menu – Image – Apply Image

step-031_1

Now just reduce the opacity of the layer to 50% and it’s done.

    Looks a decent instructional exercise, tragically two stages (stepson and 12) have pictures missing so we can’t perceive what you did to get any impacts. Additionally, a portion of the stock is never again accessible, yet we can work around that.

    pretty neat tutorial. I use PSE 9 so I couldn’t follow along exactly, but I still learned a lot and it was fun! Mine didn’t turn out exactly like yours but pretty close. http://jdyjdyjdy.deviantart.com/art/Tutorial-dreamlike-561989308?ga_submit_new=10%253A1442991390

    Looks a nice tutorial, sadly two steps (steps11 & 12) have pictures missing so we can’t see what you did to get any effects. Also, some of the stock is no longer available, but we can work around that.
