In this tutorial we will be learning how to design a colorful illustration. This will be created by using Ellipse Tool, Pen Tool, Brushes and Layer Masks. Let’s get started!
Start working by creating a new file (File>New) of 1920×1200 px and 72 dpi. Using the Paint Bucket Tool (G), fill the new background layer with black color.
Cut out very accurately the girl’s head and her neck using your favorite tools like Pen Tool (P), Magic Wand Tool (W), Magnetic Lasso (L) or even a simple Filter>Extract. Insert them on a new layer. The head’s size may be changed with Free Transform (Ctrl+T) option.Now apply the Ellipse Tool (U) to represent a sphere which layer must be placed lower than the girl’s layer in Layers panel.
