Red Queen’s Silhouette in Pixelmator
If you will try to stare at this picture for few seconds, you should see silhouette of Red Queen head. So in this tutorial I will show you how to create a poster using the Pen Tool in Pixelmator, mixed with some colours and textures. The whole process won’t take much time and I hope you will like the outcome.
Step 1
Open Pixelmator and create a new document. I’m using 700×800 pixels for the size. After that fill the Background Layer with beige color.
Step 2
Take Elliptical Marquee Tool and draw oval form in the middle of document, then fill it with light beige color.
Step 3
Go to Edit > Refine Selection… and choose size 20 px. After that create a new layer, fill it with beige color and put it below the layer. Then go to Edit > Deselect All.
Step 4
With Pen Tool create a strip form as shown below:
Step 5
Now we are going to add some shadows. Take the Pen Tool and draw them like in picture below and fill shape with dark beige color.
Step 6
With Pen Tool create a cross and fill with dark grey color. Afetr that change the Opacity to 75%.
Step 7
Now create a rhombus, fill it with dark red color and change the Opacity to 90%.
Step 8
With Pen Tool create a heart and fill with the same dark red color, after that change Opacity to 85%.
Step 9
Create a spade, fill with with dark grey color, then change Opacity to 90%.
Step 10
Now we are going to add texture. Go to Layer > New Layer > Choose Picture… and choose Texture picture. After that change Blending to Overlay and Opacity to 35%.
You are doing it again… 🙂 how do you go from a curve to a straight line in Pixelmator. It seems impossible, yet I see it here on at least 2 tuts.
