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 TEXTURESI 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 TEXTURESadded the first ink texture on top and set the layer to EXCLUSION - too grainy and is making the image too light. Changed the layer to DIFFERENCE - I prefer this, keeps the image dark and appropriate for the horror theme. 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. i changed the layer to LIGHTEN COLOUR - made the black too light/dull 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 & OPACITIESI will be applying these qualities/properties to all of my illustrations & posters.
