Advanced Tutorial: Creating ‘Broken Link’
Warning: This tutorial is NOT FOR BEGINNERS, it’s for people who know their way around Photoshop and are looking to further their design knowledge/skills. If you aren’t comfortable with radial gradients, overlay layers and clipping mask layers and have a good foundation level of artistic skill this tutorial probably isn’t for you. Oh, and you should definitely have a graphics tablet; it would be undiluted madness to try this with a mouse!
Still reading? Excellent stuff. This tutorial is going to focus on design choices and a little bit of theory. There are literally thousands of tutorials online that cover keyboard shortcuts and clever ways to tweak your custom brushes but less cover the reasons why we’ve chosen to do what we do when we’re creating a piece of art, which is often more important than the process of how you got there (but don’t worry, there will be some of that too!). And we’ve even included a few custom brushes that you can download here.
