Vitamin C

This piece explores advanced digital painting techniques in Photoshop, with a focus on utilizing brush settings, blending modes, layer masks, and opacity adjustments to create a polished composition.

Using a reference image, I adopted a multi-layered approach, incorporating clipping masks and adjustment layers to refine colors and enhance depth. Brush hardness, flow, and smoothing were carefully adjusted during blending to achieve seamless transitions.

Details such as the soft light speckles on the fruit, the gradient transitions in the leaves, and the realistic reflection of the orange in the bowl were crafted using overlay and soft light blending modes, alongside edge refinement with the smudge tool and feathering. These techniques combine to bring depth and realism to the final composition.
