Deep and Moody

by: Neil Duerden

Right time to go into Photoshop and create a "simple" moody image using loads of simple effects to create an image with depth and composition.

You will be switching between Illustrator, Photoshop, Painter and throwing a few hand rendered elements in just for good measure so put the kettle on, sit back and get ready to begin!
