Adding some elements to the design of this thing (airship). I'm using the basic design element only,just transforming it.

Create a copy of it.

...And some more.

This line is a perspective line - an invisible line that goes through the horizon line. That is where our ships will go.


Lower the opacity using masks or just plain eraser tool to lower the opacity of those who are further away from the viewer's eye.


Add some element for the better view: for example add blacker pattern to the bottom of the picture.

Transform. And the result of transformation was really amazing- just what I wanted.

Add a mask to erase the area right in the center. Use gradient on the mask to do this.





Now let's create some lighting. First
create a new layer.

Choose a gradient with the color that is way brighter that the background to transparency. Gradient shape is round.

You can see one in the top left corner and one in the left corner.

Warp the one that is in the center.

Apply an outer glow, making the layer and the picture even shinier.

Next mini step: the text. I've chosen the Greek styled font to better express the feeling on the picture.

Create some copies of the text and lower the opacity of those who are on the background.


Blur some of them to create a feeling of depth.


Change the color of one of the letters for design means.


And this is it in making a digital life organic tutorial.

Thanks for reading: better to try than to read and see you next time.

It looks like a download error. Illustrator has a repeating lines to create a pattern feature that looks much more clean.

Good, but you should provide the link to the brush set you used.
