Create a Science Fiction Environment With Photoshop
Photoshop is a fantastic application because it allows you to create just about anything your imagination can dream up. In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a science fiction environment using digital painting and illustration techniques. While working on this piece, you will learn how to set up your color scheme, set your perspective, and even how to create a monster robot. Let’s get started.
Tutorial Assets
The following assets were used during the production of this tutorial.
Step 1
Let’s get started. Create a new document in Photoshop with following settings, then import the “Base photo” asset and place it as shown below. You can delete the Background layer. I called that first layer “Import”.
Step 2
Duplicate the “Import” layer, call the new one “Extend” and hide the “Import” one. We keep it at the bottom to be sure to have an untouched photo somewhere in our layers. Do a very thin selection, transform it, and fill the empty area as below.
