I have created a bruise near the cheek area, using a brush tool with a hardness of 0% and having selected a Mohgony Red colour. My brush size was also very small to create this line. I then changed the blend mode to something dark because this was on a different layer it only affected what on the that layer (which was the red line), I also used the Gaussian Blur which I spoke about in a Practice post. This is a really great tool, it made the harsh line which I created into a more blurred into the skin like the effect a bruise would leave on the skin.
Once I got the desired look, I hid that layer and coloured the skin a Grey colour. I changed the blend mode into hue so it becomes the colour of the skin. When I coloured the skin grey it painted over the face and as soon as I changed the Blend Mode it become the colour of the skin.
With all these effects and changes I made I changed the opacity and the fill settings until I felt it looked right.
(Results)
The first image was my initial bruise, I used the Mohgony colour and also a Black, this is why its dark. The picture in the middle is of the skin after I coloured it and changed the blend mode. The final image, you can see I have used more colours which ressemble a bruise, so dark blue, purple and a red. I kept repeating steps I talked about before because it didn't yet look like a bruise, by changing the blend modes and the level of the Gaussian Blur until I was happy with the way it looked.
As I liked the idea of bruise I wanted to used this again but under the eye this time, I wanted to make it look like a black eye almost. I used the same technique, colours etc.
What I will do next:
- To recreate the bruise look I have near the cheek under the eye
- To darken inside eye
- To darken eyebrows
