How Do You Make A Mushroom Cloud On Photoshop?
The dramatic image of a mushroom cloud can affect a viewer on a number of different levels. In photographs and films, mushroom clouds have been used to represent everything from Armageddon to the nuclear age. According to the book “The Nuclear Mushroom Cloud as Cultural Image” by Peggy Rosenthal, the image of a mushroom cloud has also been used in marketing strategies and has even symbolized sexual power. In the digital world, it is relatively easy to create the powerful image of a mushroom cloud with both the use of a drawing tablet and Photoshop. Open a new, letter-sized document in Photoshop at 300 pixels per inch. Make sure the background is transparent and “RGB” is selected for the color mode. Select the Paint tool and choose a soft, round brush from the Options menu along the top of the screen. The brush can be somewhat large, since the initial sketch will be loose. Pick a medium warm gray color swatch. Then, change the opacity of the brush in the Options menu to about 60 percent
