Like Magritte or Like Other "Cool" Artists

I showed you today how to use a Custom Shape and a Vector Mask. Start by having one image on top of another (example: a picture of a sky and a picture of a sunset). Make sure the images are the same size (if not, use the Command-T feature). Then, select one of the Custom Shapes (you can add more by going to the small arrow on the upper right side of the window) and before you add the shape on the top layer, go to Layer > Vector Mask > Reveal All and see what happens. You can duplicate the image (Command-J), add blending options (like Drop Shadow or other) and create interesting digital art!

The idea now is to look at some of Magritte's work online and try to imitate some of his work; but if you prefer you can also imitate other artists. This is a painting a friend posted on Facebook and I find it very creative. You can try to imitate this one or others. Get creative!
You can also check: Mad Art (click the link) with some work by Megan Aroon Duncanson and others. Also: Mad Art 2. You can add some text to your work, if you wish, a small quote or an interesting word that means "something" to you.

You can create your very own digital art using different brushes (Brush Tool) and colors. Check: Natasha Wescoat for more ideas. Also Google her name and check her work. Check this video too: Cool Work to see how this photographer created the image below.
