hey this is pretty cool! i just spent about an hour in photoshop trying to find an easy tool to do smooth type posterizing as it seems you have, but to no avail. how did you do it? (hoping you didn't trace sections on illustrator because that would be painfully slow)
yeah drew each layer in photoshop with the pen tool. doesn't really take to long when u get the hang of it and the results are much better than any of the posterizing effects.
otherwise another technique is to first desaturate, then make a few copies of the layer. then using levels, adjust each layer to get a straight black against white image, making sure each layer gets progressively more or less shadow. then if u delete the white from each one and change the colour of each layer so they get progressively darker.
hopefully that is enough for you to figure it out, i know my explanation isn't the greatest lol.
DeviantART and Wacom are proud to present the second Intuos4 "Bring Your Vision To Life" contest! Open to all artists all over the world, we challenge you to show us your dreams and aspirations for the future. Get drawing!
DeviantART has partnered with FAIR to help promote equality through The Love Unites Shepard Fairey Equality Project. We're asking deviants to align themselves with this cause and have their work judged by Shepard Fairey himself!
So after much thought I have decided I would host a contest! The theme is changing on the seasons, as we are here in the UK. This will be a long running contest so that you will have time to create something really spectacular
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
This news article features five deviants who took part in Comment Month through commenting on the deviations that were submitted.
Please give your time to this article and to write constructive comments so that you make a true difference to the artists featured here. Although not all may be underappreciated, their efforts deserve to be recognised and celebrated.
