peter 633 Posted December 22, 2014 Hi jakezhang, welcome to the forum. Got to say that the scratchy textures are spot on. How did you do it? As for your layers/blending modes, they are really effective at giving depth to the picture. Quite moody and textural. :) As for shrinking images, did you mean dimensions or file size? If you meant file size, then my preferred technique is to export as a png/Jpg and reduce to 30% say.

MattP 4,100 Posted December 23, 2014 Well, I see a city in the background and a green space towards the foreground - but I'm not sure what I see at the bottom yet?!? It's a really nice first piece and definitely gets you thinking and feeling :) Nice use of textures to enhance things too! 1 jakezhang reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRScott 190 Posted December 26, 2014 As Matt says, I can see the city in the first one. I think the second must be about music? Very nice. 1 jakezhang reacted to this Gregg OS X Version 10.14.4 iMac 27" 3.2 GHz Intel i5 16 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 Huion Kamvas Pro 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
