Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 706 Adding a dynamic background, part 2, part of Deke's Techniques.
- [Instructor] In this movie we're going to…take that dynamic background that we created…in the previous movie,…and we're going to go ahead and finish off the artwork…by adding these red and orange bushes right here…in the bottom left and top right region of the artwork.…And as you can see they are both based on this green bit…of shrubbery up at the top of the artwork,…which is actually a roughened version…of a lowercase letter e.…All right, so I'll go ahead and switch back…to the artwork in progress…and also switch over to the layers panel,…and I'll go ahead and unlock this layer…that's called blends.…
And I'll click anywhere on the e…in order to select the entire thing.…So notice that I have a small e…in the bottom right area right here…and I have a larger e toward the top.…And I'll go ahead and copy these shapes…by pressing control c or command c on a Mac.…All right now I'll go ahead…and lock off that layer once again,…and I'm going to turn these top three layers off.…That is to say I'm going to hide them…by dragging across their eyeballs.…
