apps. ibispaint x, picsart, phonto
requested by : sweethingsx
beforehand. have your pngs & psd ready.
if you don't know how to add psds, check out my tutorial. you'll also need a background. i found mine on google or you can type in premade backgrounds on deviant art. if you don't know how to download pngs, look at my psd download tutorial, it's basically same.
here's my resources :
pngs by JuLivramento
psd by cocobear. THEIR PSDS ARE A GODSEND
like they're so aesthetic it makes me get tingles.
anyway
i used the love to hate me psd and all in psd.
one. go to ibispaint x and upload your background. add your png on a separate new layer and resize it the way you'd like.
two. if you're using a png, go to the paint brush and click the eraser. make sure it's on airbrush normal. erase the bottom of the pic so it's not choppy. ( sorry, im bad at explaining )
three. im adding a glow. ( i will have a tutorial on this very soon ). im also adding an outline glow.
go to FX on the same layer as your png and click style and add what kind of glow you want. outer or a stroke. im doing a stroke. then change the color. i also added the glow.
four. now this is something i like to do but to fill it in, you can use flower pngs or something to put in the background. i like using the airbrush tool and using colors for the background.
add a new layer and move it so it's to the second layer. choose whatever color you want and dot the background. then i change it to add.
five. go to picsart and get a transparent background. just scroll to the bottom. save and then go to photo and add your text to it.
six. go back to picsart and add highlight and you can edit their eyes and face, etc. ( I'll make a tutorial on highlight soon )
I forgot to mention, if you want, you can add a layer and use the color black and airbrush to fade the png out ? idk how to explain
seven. add a new layer and then add your text png. once you're done, save it and go to picsart.
this part is optional but go to fx at the bottom
then artistic and oil paint. it give it a cool effect.
add your psd and you're done :)
here's what i came up with :
yes they're kinda ugly 😢
