This tutorial is simple to follow and will give you some great techniques and results. We'll be using simple techniques to create elaborate 3D shapes to decorate our image with. There will also be some simple coloring techniques as well as some patterns used.
To start yourself off you will need to find 2 essential stock photographs to use in this illustration. The first thing you will need to find is a good background, for these types of illustrations a paper texture, or a concrete one should work well.
You want something simple that will not overpower what you will have going on over it. We were given permission from Bashcorpo to use one of his amazing stocks located here on the DeviantArt page. So feel free to look through the portfolio and grab one of the many amazing background textures.
The final step in preparation is to get the main stock images you will be using. Bram and I both chose this stock from SXC. The reason we chose this stock is because you have enough of the body visible in the picture, the face isn't covered and it will make for an overall attractive picture once everything is added over it. So make your pick, try to find a stock that fits the criteria, something high resolution so it doesn't distort when you enlarge it, and something you find attractive in the eyes. After you have all of that, drag it into Photoshop so we can begin.
