Digital Diversity

With Halloween just passing, playing a certain game involving the death of a lot of innocent zombies and after watching dawn of the dead for the millionth time,  I found I had zombies on the brain (was that a pun?). This gave me the idea to create my very own zombie in Photoshop Elements 7. Everything from flaking dead skin, rotting flesh, blood and even a bit of bone is in there.

Hopefully this tutorial will show you how I implement some of the techniques I have shown in my previous Photoshop tutorials.

To create an image such as this you will already need to understand the following Photoshop techniques
• Layers and masks
• Adjustment layers – can be learned in this tute.
• Photo filters
• Selection tools
• Dodging and burning
• Cloning and healing
• Texture blending

If you already know about all those things then you should be set to dive straight in.
