Photoshop Question

mongoose · 11-21-2007, 10:50 AM

I have a quick question concerning photoshop. How do I add another drawing to an existing drawing. What happens if the drawings overlap, which I want them to. Is there some way to handle the overlapping...let's say with an arm overlapping another character's body? Thanks.

If you have both drawings open, select and copy the one, then paste it into the other. This will give you both images in the same document, on separate layers. You can then erase parts of the top layer so that the bottom layer shows through, and move the layers around so they overlap how you want them.

Well, are you talking about pencil drawings or full renders? You could take a pencil sketch, and paste a new drawing in and set the layer to screen.

If you have fully rendered material you'll have to mask, clip, erase, etc., but it would be best if you did that sort of thing on its own layer.

I have a fully rendered drawing. It's black and white.
