Underwater paradise
photobash.

Tropical paradises are one of the most pleasant types of images to create. In this one Pedro explores a different type of image, with a half water shot. Using some of his vacation images from photopacks.net.

Overview.

In this quick and easy tutorial, Pedro explores the beauty of creating a tropical paradise visual. Using various styles and approaches, Pedro starts with a simple rendered base and explores the image and relates the form of the architecture with the image, exploring a mix of photobashing as well as sketching in order to achieve an image that really helps in portraying a piece of architecture that is still in the works and yet to be fully defined. Discover the Photoshop file below and use it to expand your knowledge of post production and sketch like views.

Some of the topics we touch in this tutorial include

  • Watercolour brush effects

  • Lighting, composition and mood

  • Half water images for you to use in your projects

  • All renders and passes in the PSD
