investigation /experimentation

In PhotoShop i opened an image of a women and added a black layer over the top of it. Then I took the paint brush and made a dark blue dot somewhere randon on the page, the size of the first dot has to be the biggest and the second dot is a smaller lighter aqua blue dot with the brush size of 200 px, then get a smaller white dot with a 100 px brush size and put it in the centre of the other dots to add a glow. Then i selected the smudge tool with brush size to 110px, strength to 85% and made one big  smudge using my finger on the touch screen for the best arc shape. i then reduced the strenght to 40 to make the next two smudges smaller.

 

 I added bubbles to the blue orb by using a scatter effect and by spacing them out. I did this by going on paint brush then window and brushes, it will open a menu so you can change the layout of the bubbles and the size.

in the picture I used a custom brush which is scattering, jigger, fade, spacing. To create a blue hue i used the quick mask mode and used the soft brush to go over her neck,face and the beeds to make it seem like the light is being captured on her face. I think this works because it gives the image life and makes it look real.
