pasithea: glowing girl (Default)
Is there a name for this sort of art? If you were a girl in the 70s, you probably had a poster like this in your room or one very much like it. I was experimenting with doing layers in photoshop similar to the way I do them in Illustrator then using them as clipping masks and doing shading inside them (like airbrushing friskets)


It didn't work quite as well as I might have hoped. Photoshop's vector tools are much more crude than the ones in Illustrator. You can't set a smoothness or blend vectors together easily or a bunch of other stuff. Also, if you make a mask from a vector, it doesn't paint to the edge of the vector when when you start doing painting over it in a paint layer so everything has white-line edges. Very annoying. Anyhow... Interesting to try a new technique and I will admit, I'd probably have put it on my wall. (I still have one of those big-eyed french clown posters stored in a tube *blush* )
