Superimpose

i. Open a white background and your image of your person as the foreground (I recommend to use an image of the person from the side). Make it black and white if it isn't already and turn the contrast up to where the hair is blackened out and it just makes the person look dark yet light, if you know what I mean. If needed, erase areas around the image to where it's just white and then merge.

ii. Open one of the add on images and go to the transform tab and put it on lighten or another option that you like best. Place as desired and then merge. Repeat this until the area you want covered is covered. Feel free to change the color using the hue tab and other coloring options. 

iii. You can also use the soft light option if you want as well. To get the splatters on the outside of the person, put the image on darken (you might have to invert the foreground splatter image and then adjust the color again). Use the brush to erase unwanted areas and then merge and repeat.

iv. I didn't finish mine this time, but this is something that you should kind of get when you're done but with more colors and more splatter paint. When you're done, just add the image to a white 2:3 background and add color and textures as desired. I included the ones I used in the Add Ons, but feel free to use your own. Add title and you're done!

Comments

guess who's kinda sorta back (;

this was asked to be done for my story, Chronicles of a Fallen Love, so here you guys go. You can do it on Pics Art too, just use the same overlay modes and there you go. If you've been following this book for awhile, you'll get it just fine.

I'm glad to be back; I missed you all so much and your comments made me so emotional. I don't know how I'll ever leave Wattpad to be honest...you guys mean too much to me. I was tearing up reading through those and for there to be 115 comments made it even more special for me...seriously, thank you. I doubt I would have even came back if it wasn't for you guys.

I love you all so freaking much <3

(did anyone see Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 6?? IM STILL FLIPPING OUT! Oh, but happy fathers day as well!)
