Sweet C4D Girl Signature

1. Create a new document (500*120).

2. Select your paint bucket tool and fill the background layer with #000000 (I've already added a white 1 px border).

3. Now insert the following stock photo in your signature and duplicate that layer (layer - duplicate layer) once.

4. Now smudge some parts at the side like shown here (I've used a chalk smudge stick, 36px). Then use your brush tool to draw some maple leaves on the right (so below on how to do this)... Make sure you reset your brushes to find this one...

5. Then take the lasso tool with a feather of 20px and select your duplicated layer. Now using this, select a part on the right side of her hair like shown in this screenshot.

6. Now copy this selection to your smudged layer and smudge it again! You have to figure out yourself how you like it the most...

7. Now create a new layer (layer - new layer) and brush it with the same brush as before (maple leaves)... Smudge the parts of the brush on her face and keep correcting this until you like it... This step took me a little while because I created more than one brush layer.

8. Now the time has come to add some C4D images! Put this one (see the first image below) on your canvas and change the blending mode of the image to linear dodge with 100% opacity. This is what you should have after smudging the C4D layer a little bit (second picture)...

9. Keep repeating the previous step until you have something like this.

10. Again add some maple leaves using your brush tool! Now take your this other C4D image and change the blending mode to linear dodge again, but this time you don't have to smudge it! What you have to do is duplicating the image layer and then go to (edit - transform - flip horizontal).

11. You can also add a little bit of text (linear dodge, opacity 50%). Now in this last step just make a new layer and go to (image - apply image and sharpen it (filter - sharpen - sharpen). Now we're finished, enjoy your new signature!
