ADDING PEOPLE VIA PHOTOSHOP
Sunday, December 5, 2010 I wanted to get in video form, some of the techniques I use to add people into my illustrations. This video outlines 3 situations I run into often including reflective surfaces, typical shadows, and people in motion. The libraries of people don't always fit the lighting situations in the scene, so the video also describes a way to add highlights to better integrate people into the scene. There are tons of examples of more artistic ways to add people into an illustration and I have plans to develop some tutorials later on down the road testing out some these techniques.

where do you find your people to use in your post-production work? great work by the way
I have a pretty big library that I have put together over the years and also from swapping with classmates in grad school. Someone posted a site a while back, http://vyonyx.com/category/down/cutout-people/ , that has a nice library of free cutouts.
Hey Mate,
Love the website and the tutorials are great. Unfortunately this video says it is unavailable in my country [AUSTRALIA] because of a copyright issue with EMI.
Is there anywhere else I can view it?

thanks for the tutorials! useful stuff!
Hi tom,
right now, I don't have a "no" sound tutorial on youtube like I have done for other videos with the same problem. This summer, I plan on writing out the tutorials as supplements to the videos, but that won't be for a while.

hey i need help immediately. people cut outs that you use have black backgrounds so its easy to seperate them. but i need to cut out a crowd from its colorful background in photoshop. what do you suggest? selecting one by one is impossible! thank you so much!! if anyone also can explain i'll be glad.
I don't think there is any shortcut - bar finding & downloading a crowd with an alpha channel.. I find it is quicker using the quick mask in photoshop than it is to use the polygon lasso tool..
thank you tom :) i agree it's easier to use quick mask and also i came across it in many tutorials but still doing all of the people is waste of time :( by the way alex thank you! you and your blog are amazing =)) and it's very helpful :)

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I can assume you are a painter too, because you did know how to make pasted people looking real.
I just wanted to say thank you for these wonderful tutorials. So simple... but so effective!
Hey alex, i wanted to ask if you got some tutorial for rhino? and in your opinion... RHINO OR 3d max?
Hi josh,
I use Rhino, the learning curve is much less with Rhino compared to 3d Max, Plus rhino has some many great add-ons like grasshopper. It also integrates well with Sketchup.
Awesome tut!
Thanx so much Alex.
Amazing tut it help me a lot in improving my designs
