The Daily Texture for 06/29/2015
Sleeping Fawn
| Today's Daily Texture is filled with luscious shades of light and bright sky blue, along with natural browns and a touch of mint green. It was perfect for my fawn image, which is what provided the inspiration for the texture. :) This kind of image -- with foliage surrounding the subject -- is a tricky one to blend with a texture. I tend to choose a texture which has a color similar to the foliage, as for the image to make sense, I'm going to have to leave some of the foliage showing throughout the image. If I have a specific texture I want to use, I will often change the color of the foliage in my original image to more closely match the texture. {which is what I did here, as the grass in the original photo is bright green} I placed the fawn image on top of the texture and I masked away MOST of the background and ground around the fawn, but not ALL of it. I try to have as much of a gentle transition as possible as the texture fades into the grass and as the grass sweeps across in front of the subject. After I completed the masking, I duplicated the texture layer and placed it on top of the fawn. I set this layer to overlay, with really made the colors pop nicely in the image. The baby deer, however, was a bit dark. So I masked away some of that overlay layer to reveal the true colors and brightness of the deer. |  Like this texture? Buy it here for only $2.
