Hi, can someone explain how the subject was placed in the shape? At the bottom they are within the boundaries of the shape but at the top their head hangs outside? How is this achieved? Thanks
Many ways of doing this ... i suppose i would begin with a clipping mask.
- Subject layer (person)
- The shape of a shield layer below (which would cut off most of the head at the start)
- Right click the subject layer and 'create clipping mask' (or ALT click between the layers)
- Now the subject sits into the shield shape below but the top of the head cut off
- Now go onto the shield shape layer below and start painting in and adding to the shape where the rest ofvthe head is to begin revealing it ( so paint it in and erase it as needed around the edges of the head) so you never touch the subject layer itself ... if that makes sense. 🤔🤣
1- Duplicate the (man) image above the Shield shape. hide the top one. 2- Now you have a man layer above the shield. Make clipping mask select layers and click Ctrl+Alt+G 3- You remember the top hidden layer, show it make a mask or use the Eraser Tool to delete the imge body and leave the head out of the shape.
