I actually don't know how to blend, methinks, because I've never looked at a tutorial... I just kind of went at it today. And I have this cute blend, no idea for a theme or what else to do with it:



I started adding brushes and effects, but it started looking tackier and tackier, so I ended up deleting it all... so any ideas for me? What to add, what not to add, etc?

Try to make a new layer on top and set it to "Color" and then use the paint brush to put different colors on the layer (large splotches) and then motion blur them together. I'm obsessed with doing that. Sometimes it looks really good--sometimes it doesn't. But you can try it??

Edit://Lol i know i said this over aim, but i didn't say it on here: I loveeeee it soooo farrrrrr. Blahh I can't believe i forgot to put it on here!! cry.gif forgive me!!


Edit 2: // I meant air brush sorry....were you guys refering to random shaped brushes?? Cause that was so not what i meant haha sorry. She knows what i meant though....I'm leaving out half a convo here.

Try changing the colors, adding a texture, brushes that fit with the blend, things like that. Don't just fling brushes on it, because it will look out of place and random. With the textures, you can find a good one to use, and mess around with the blending modes.

^ Amen, don't add digital looking brushes to that blend, look for more natural ones like flowers and leaves. The blend is nice, even though that model's eyebrows are funky. :D

That's very neat. Good Image Quality! The green in the middle looks very techno-y. That's a good picture of her.
