how to do this effect?

Learn to paint.

 

[NemesisWorks]

exactly, but point out in details.

 

[docilebob]

In more detail,, although not really a painting lesson...

Filter>Liquify some blue lines might be a good option too, albeit time consuming...

 

[docilebob]

True, sPECtre. I`ve also seen people clone stamp photos of smoke into shape, but it`s not very practical, either.

But it`s not very practical, either.

Sadly there is no simply solution for this. Personally I would stroke an existing silhouette and paint/smudge from there.

I'd tend to agree with G on this one. Paint around an existing photo and smudge the outline til you get the right effect you're after.


I did this up for fun. Just a quicky to test things out. Not a great example, but not really meant to be either.

Anyone see a 'camel'?! hehe

Oh and i found this other example online too whilst researching how smoke looks.

Later! B7

Yours looks better then the camel?..camel? you mean the big dog..lol
Lasa

 

[Sage]

Lasa I think he did the camel? Both are very cool looking! Great AD for Camel cigs! Impressive

 

[theKeeper]

Yeah i did the camel add Lasa

That OTHER one is unrealistic what with the ultra blue colour an' all. :\

yeah right! i wish i could paint like that. %} [oops]
