I'm trying to achieve negative space icons. They've been trendy awhile, and I horribly suck at them.
These are my attempts and their originals. ![]() ![]() ![]() What I did was crop the image to the part where the selection box goes over the image. Then I just used the smudge tool to fill the blank part. Is cutting out the person much better than my process? I really need help. |

Did you mean for the second to say "Weasel" and the third to say "Heroine"?

Yes, it's a pun on their names.
When it comes to that type of cropping, it takes a few tries. Sometimes I have to crop some things 4 or 5 times until I'm completely satisfied. It's just all about practice. Also keep the Rule of Thirds in mind when cropping. I know.. I think center subjects look great with negative space though. Like these.. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
