One of the best things in Photoshop, in my opinion, is that we can create all sorts of effects and photo manipulations mixing regular stock photos. A few weeks ago I used a few images to come up with a sort of surrealist design of a melting girl face over a metal skull. It's still a working in progress, but I decided to share with you how I did it.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Sabine Ten Lohuis, a freelancer designer and illustrator currently based inRotterdam, Netherlands. She graduated from the visual arts academy Willem de Kooning in 2009 with a degree in illustration and a minor in painting. But she also has a great interest for animation and graphic design.
