In this Photoshop art video, we will go through the creation of a #Mermaid Photoshop Art ~ Enchanted Waters
This will be a #photoshop #speedart style video, but I will be explaining in details all the steps I did to create this composition.
Here, I tried to create an underwater mermaid fantasy photo manipulation. I used various techniques like transforming the mermaid tail to blend with the girl's body and using soft merging to create the underwater scene from various images of coral reefs. Various lighting techniques are also used like, changing everything with a dark underwater color grading, and applying glow and painting the highlights.
Finally, it took about 5 hours to complete the artwork, and 5 more hours to find some good free stock images for you to use as well. I hope you will find this video helpful and enjoy watching it!
