Spartacus said:In this tutorial you will learn how to create a nice flow in your signature using the liquify tool and some other cool techniques.
At the end of this tutorial you will be able to:
* Blend your render using smudging
* Use the wave filter to create your background
* Use the liquify tool to enhance flow
* Use gradient maps to color your signature
* Add some nice effects to improve the flow.
We will be creating the following signature:
Finding a nice render
Before we start you will need a render that has some sort of action going on in it. For example someone shooting.
Creating the background.
Lets get started by opening a new document in photoshop, I choose 380px x 150px.
Now add your render, but don’t resize it yet, we will be using the render to create our background.
As you can see the render doesn’t fill the entire background, to solve this go to Layer > Duplicate Layer and move the duplicate so it fills your entire canvas.
Now select both layers using ctrl and go to Layer > Merge Layers
Now go to Filter > Disort > Wave and use the default settings, just play around untill you got something you are happy with.
Now our background is finished, thats all easy isn’t it.
