Things You'll Need:
- Adobe Photoshop
- Computer
- Digital photo
-
Step 1
With your digital photo open in Photoshop, make a new layer (layer/new layer).
-
Step 2
Use the lasso tool to draw a selection in the shape of a blood drop or splatter.
-
Step 3
Use the paintbucket to fill the selection with some color. The color you choose does not matter at this point. Any color will do!
-
Step 4
Go to Window and put a check mark next to "styles." This will bring up your styles palette.
-
Step 5
Choose the "red gel with drop shadow" style. If this style is not already on your palette, you can load it by clicking on the arrow in your upper right corner of the styles palette. This brings up a menu. Choose "web styles."
-
Step 6
Now look at your layers palette. You will see the effects listed uner your blood layer. Click on the effect that says "color overlay." This brings up a dialogue box, which will have a red rectangle on it. Double click the rectangle, and choose a darker color of red.
-
Step 7
Shade the blood by making a new layer, and painting with a medium gray where any shadows would go. Change the blending mode on your layers palette from "normal" to "multiply."
