Water Trough By using this tutorial you agree to my terms Feel free to use your own colors for this. For this tutorial you will need Jasc PSP 9 . This was written using 9 but it can be done in 8 and 7 with some adjustments. For those that are using my alpha channel canvas you can get it HERE For PSP7 users you wont be able to use the distress brush. So use the setting for the smudge 1. The smudge brush I use you can get SMUDGE BRUSH PRESETS AND BRUSHES PJ-Distress is one that I use a lot to make a textured like effect.
Smudge 1
Air brush 1
Air brush 2
For those using the alpha channel canvas: For each step load alpha channel selections, then flood fill with certain colors. To keep from typing the same thing for each layer I will just say the layer we will be working on. Front: Flood fill with first color on chart. Use 2nd and 3rd colors on chart and use airbrush 1 settings above. Spray all over with both colors. Smudge using smudge 1 setting above.
Add new layer Use 4th color and spray lightly Smudge to blend. If you want a lighter wood spray heaver with the light color.
Use 3rd color again and spray heavy. Start in one corner and click once with the smudge brush 1, hold down shif key and move brush down to the end and click once. Move brush down to middle of selection and repeat. Do the same at the bottom. This is what I came up with. I wanted the grain to be some what straight.
Use the pen tool size2 foreground color black, background set to nil. Draw a could lines to look like slats. Covert to raster layer then gaussian blur 1. Merge visible Legs: Flood fill with 1st color on chart. Do the same as above with the colors. Going in a down ward motion. Top: Do the same as you did for the other layers. Make the edges darker. You can go to the water layer and flood fill it so you can see where the edges are. Rim: Do the same for the rim layer. I blended it to a more smooth edge. I used more of the light color too. Click back on the first layer and add new layer. Use the dark brown color to add some shadow. Smudge to blend. Below is what I have so far.
Trim 2: Flood fill with black. Water: Flood fill with color 6. Spray with color 7, use colors 8 and 9 for high light. Smudge to blend.
Pump: Flood fill with black. Keep selected and add new layer. Use airbrush 2 settings. Use color #404040 spray as in screen shot smudge to blend. Add new layer, change color to white Paint lines as in screen shot. Smudge to blend.
Add all your final touches and adjustments. That's all there is to it. Hope everyone had fun with this. Susi Click here to receive updates when new tutorials are posted.
