Create an Illusory World with Abstract Composition in Photoshop

Step 20

Now add to the group with buildings a layer mask. Set a Gradient Tool (G), set the type of gradient: “Foreground to Transparent” and Radial form, Opacity: 50%. Set Foreground color to Black (X).

Place the gradient as shown in the figure. Do not make too big a spot that did not disappear all the buildings. Only need to slightly reduce their visibility.

Leave previous settings of the gradient. Just change form at “Linear Gradient”. Start to put it out of the working field, and finish by about one-third of the buildings, as shown in the figure. It is important not to tilt it, to make it hold Shift.

Step 21

Now start working with cubes. At the beginning of this tutorial, I wrote to you, it’s a little monotonous activity (at least so I was because I came up with 5 different versions), but believe for you it will not be very difficult and long. You can use the cubes that you like more. The principle of operation remains the same.

Step 22

Let’s start with black cubes. I used just use three types of cubes (Cubes 4, 7, 9). To begin, place the desired cubes in worked document (File > Place (Place Embedded…)) and remember, all the cubes have to be over a group with buildings. Let’s start with the edges of the image, so it will be easier (use “Cubes 7”). Duplicate this layer (Cmd /Ctrl+ J or Layer > Duplicate Layer…)

Transform (Ctrl/Cmd+T or Edit > Free Transform) cubes like shown in the image below. On the left side of the image I was a little increased cubes, and on the right side of the image, only used their left-hand side.

Place (File > Place (Place Embedded…)) the remaining two types of cubes as shown in Figure. Use Transform Tool (Ctrl/Cmd+ T or Edit > Free Transform) and Flip Horizontal (Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal) to get like my result. I tried to arrange them so that then add the white cubes and their general location be like a spiral. Try to stick to the middle of the image. Apply the cubes so as to fill the gap between white and buildings.

Step 23

Merge all layers with cubes in the one group (select layers and press Cmd /Ctrl+ G or Layer > Group Layers… ). Now time for the white cubes. This time I used the cubes 7 and 10. You can duplicate any “cubes 7”, and then change the size, but rather will have to add cubes 10 (File > Place (Place Embedded…)). First, duplicate (Cmd /Ctrl+ J) “cubes 7” 3 times. And combine them into one group. The group must be located on the Layers panel as shown in Figure.
