DEAD GOOD FILM festival

adding texture to illustrations (photoshop)

To make my illustrations more fitting to the vintage comic style I am adding paper and ink textures to the designs.

Here are the 3 textures I am using...

ADDING PAPER TEXTURES

I added the paper texture on top of my illustration and changed the layer to DIVIDE.

Here I changed the layer to COLOUR BURN - colour is more saturated in this style.

I tried MULTIPLY but the it didn't add enough texture for what I'm going for - I decided on on the first layer style (DIVIDE).

MOVING ON TO ADDING THE INK TEXTURES

added the first ink texture on top and set the layer to EXCLUSION - too grainy and is making the image too light.
Picture
Changed the layer to DIFFERENCE - I prefer this, keeps the image dark and appropriate for the horror theme.
Picture
I wanted more of a distressed look to the solid black sections so I added another texture to just those darker parts. To do this I selected all the black with the colour range option and created a layer mask with the selection.

Picture
i changed the layer to LIGHTEN COLOUR - made the black too light/dull
Picture
I switched the layer back to normal and just turned the opacity to 10% - this worked nicely on the darker sections but obviously did nothing to the solid black.

THE FINAL LAYERS & OPACITIES

I will be applying these qualities/properties to all of my illustrations & posters.
