Learn the fundamentals of creating realistic composites in Photoshop.

The goal of this course is to teach you important foundations you need to know in order to create the most realistic Photoshop composites. And to share with you some tips and tricks I have picked up over the last ten years of working in Photoshop.

Shadows are one of the most important elements of any photo manipulation or digital painting. They give more depth to an artwork and also create realism. In this short video I make a short practical demonstration of how I make the most used types of shadows.

This is just a short demonstration, but there is more theory behind shadows. If you want to know more about shadows post a comment. If I get many requests I can write a detailed tutorial to cover this topic,  show you how to create shadows and how to identify light sources and choose the right stock images for your manipulations.
