Surreal Tutorial Review

I found a photoshop surreal landscape tutorial written by Jenny Le called "A funny surreal Underground Scene with Adobe Photoshop", and I decided to make it and post it here on this blog post.




The tutorial covers up a lot of steps, especially the adding of adjustments to each layer. The instructions are easy to follow, and pictures are provided with clear text for each step. A thing to consider about making this psd is the picture assets that are provided to make the product. The assets provided at the beginning of the tutorial requires an account to download, and so I used another, similar picture. It is not defined whether the tutorial is suitable for a beginner, intermediate or a advanced user, but I would recommend it for intermediates. I learned a lot of new skills from this tutorial, especially adjusting layers to evaluate details. I would suggest to follow the instructions given, and maybe modify by adding new objects to the psd using the same adjustment techniques, and also making it to a gif or video. I modified mine by making it to a gif.

Take to consideration that some of the assets shown in the picture above requires an account to download.

So my overall evaluation for this tutorial is to follow instructions throughly and not skip any of them. Each step is clear and easy to understand for intermediate users. Do not skip any of the adjustments since it will affect the overall product.
