Lost and Lonely

.

This one, I dedicate to my girl who lives too far from my reach ...... No big words attached to this post..but a few strong emotions...

Take a look and try to feel..that's the instructions for my viewers....

Lost and lonely......





And well, here's my Walk through to the final image as usual....

Started with a midtone filled brown canvas.... Using a low opacity brush painted in some spots where i need my lights to fall and reflect ... a slight motion blur filter on top gave me a good effect...



Roughly drew the main elements ..with a 50% opacity brush and black colour... mouse is ,as i always say, the hardest thing when u r drawing...


Worked on the details of the bush in the shore... it was nothing but the default leaf-brush-preset in photoshop.. played with various sizes and brush's angles ... ..merged the whole black parts to a new layer and turned it upside down to make the reflection... yeah, true, u r thinking right ...added motion blur ...

Same brush on the tree..went roughly..when i finished, duplicated the layer and put it with a darken-layer blend mode over the previous one with a slight Gaussian blur :).. it can't be so sharp in fog ..ha ha

Nothing but detailing..detailing and detailing



Well..merged the final image...added my secret filter.. lol ..from the artistic menu ... for the overall painting effect... and i'm into my favorite tool.... Hue/saturation.. this is where i always fix the mood of my drawings...


.a bit of level adjustment..a few touches on the curve tool and i'm done.. last part is signing my name underneath ...






enjoy.
