MASTER FX: Maleficent Character Effects in Photoshop

Take your Photoshop effects skills to the next level with the first class in a new series from Corey Barker! Each Master FX class is a project-based course where you will learn how to do something creative as well as use an assortment of Photoshop tools in ways you might not have thought of before.
The project in this class was inspired by the movie Maleficent, and Corey demonstrates, step-by-step, how you can start with a simple portrait and take a creative journey in Photoshop that involves seamlessly incorporating elements from other sources as well as creating new elements from scratch. By the end of the class you'll be looking at using Photoshop in entirely new ways.
