Description
I couldn't find a tutorial on how to do convincing bubbles with proper reflections ... so I thought I should share how I did mineI have shown two ways to make a bubble reflection ... the part in green is for PS 3 and lower
Here's what I made:
The bubble brush I used in the tutorial is this one (the first bubble in the set): [link] ~elestrial
This tutorial was painstakingly and lovingly made by me! You do not have permission to post it on other websites without my permission ... you are however free to use the "share" buttons to pin and tweet and stuff this tut.
Please feel free to browse my stock account
EDIT 01:
The 3D menu is only available on Photoshop CS4 Extended edition (and above?) ... so I added another method to make up for that. Now you have 3 methods to create the start of the reflection: 3D Sphere (blue); Liquify: Bloat (green) and Warp (purple).

..sooo can this be like....welll is there a SAI tutorial for this that ya got? o3o
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
I use both and in my opinion SAI isn't really what one should use in Photomanipulation.
SAI is more of a digital art kind of program, whereas PS can be both (but you'd have to get yourself some brushes for blending
