How to make poster look realistic

[dustinwronka]

this poster with the quote I added on the back of the semi. But I feel there is knowledge out there in making it look better. Thoughts? Examples? Anything appreciated

Here you go.
Removed the Greenish Blue cast. Whitened poster and added panel lines. Plus contrast over all.

yes!!! How did you add the lines?!

I just airbrushed them. If I had the layered photoshop file you could reveal the lines from below with a Layer Mask.

When you say airbrushed them, did you use a brush or selection? It looks so freaking good. I’m trying to get better at it but I’m still learning the small important tools.

Just sample a gray from the pic. Do your first point on the left and shift click on the right for a straight line.
