Quick Photoshop Tutorial (With Images!)

[P3DRo0o 75]

Hey guys. I decided to make a quick tutorial. Don't be judging, I made this in about 30 mins. If you want a quality piece of art, spend a lot of time on it, I made this one quick just for demonstration sake. And I'm a little rusty, haven't made anything in a while. So here we go.

 

Here's what we will be making:

 

Step 1

 

Get yourself  a background image where a tank could be positioned for it to look nice. I got this one here:

Not the best, but usable.

 

Step 2

 

Open Tanki Viewer and screen shot the tank in the right angle to fit in your image, like I did:

You might not get it on the first try. I didn't.

 

Step 3

 

Add the tank to Photoshop and crop out the grey background.

You can use the magic tool for this.

 

Step 4

 

Add some effects such as contrast and change up the color of the tank as well as the background to make everything blend.

 

Step 5

 

This is very important and you must do this very precisely. Add shadows under your tank, make it look as realistic as possible. I suggest looking at some of other people's work for examples on how you should do this.

 

Step 6

 

More effects. Just making things look nicer:

 

Step 7

 

Get some additional images such as the Tanki Online logo.

 

Step 8

 

More effects :)

 

And you're basically done. Again, this was very simple and I did not get into detail. If you would like more please reply saying so. I would be happy to do more if lots of people want me to. Tell me if you want me to explain in more detail. And of course, I also have room for improvement. If there is anything you would like to say about this image please feel free, I'm all ears.

 

Thanks for your attention, it was much appreciated.

It is nice, but most people won't know what the tools are for some things. I suggest listing the tools.

That's the thing. When I was learning (still am) how to use Photoshop I looked up specific tutorials. For example, how to use the magic wand or something. This is meant to guide someone in the general direction, not a specific detailed explanation. I understand that might not be what people are looking for.

 

If it is heavily requested I will make another one of these with detailed explanations. I might even make a video because then it'll be easier to explain. :P

 

Thanks.
