Hallo, my name is Jenya; friends call me Jeka (not a Joke) and welcome in making Photorealistic Vinyl design wallpaper. In this tutorial I want to combine Stylish Photorealistic illustration with design elements such as text, logo and color variations.



So let's get started with making a document with these dimensions.



Quite big I think and the print parameters are 300 DPI. I recommend you to have at least 2 Gb or Ram to work fast with such large documents.

Create a new layer and overlay it with simple liner style black to white gradient.



Tnx to layer modes in Photoshop you can create quite interesting effects. For example I've created a new layer, overlaid it with black to white gradient, only this time round and set the layer mode to Color Burn.



Now I can control certain areas, filling it with smooth gradation of black to white. You should try it.



Next step: Vinyl I did find some final references, mostly to find out the pattern of music lines on the vinyl.



.. And this is how I recreated them in Photoshop: Take' a rounded area, create a new layer.



Fill the area with black.



Make a smaller selection right in the center to paint some sort of graphics.



I'm using torn edge brushes for this, very abstract and fast: Basically a color tweak.







Maybe

a face: you can paint there whatever you want.



Leave the selection on all the time. Paste some text there.



Next step: vinyl pattern. I figured out how to this fast while looking once again on the vinyl.

Here are the gradient settings first. Here is the gradient itself - as you can see I'm using noise gradient.







De-saturate the layer leaving it without colors but with pattern that we need.



Lower the opacity.















It really seams painted like - I want to drop some shadows and lighting.

Here is the shadow line- where our shadow will be.



I also made a copy of vinyl pattern - so it is more intensive now.



Drop a mask on this layer.



Choose this gradient with settings below.



Use this gradient to hide the part of the pattern making it darker.



A little tweak - make a selection ( or a path ) - make work patch out of it ( or don't ) - choose type tool and type the letters on the circle.






Select the circle ( the one that is in the center ) - and apply a small gradient tweak - for more colors.



Next step: Complex lighting.

I have discovered a very good way to lightened up the 2d surfaces. It was quite easy - I've just used lighter ( white this time ) gradients on a top layer.



More to that I'm going to decorate my lightened surface with this: I'm using basic round rough brush.

Those who are lucky to have a tablet will get better result I think. Just erase.























I recommend you to save this brush as a New Brush Preset - it will be saved with settings too. We will also need this brush to paint with.

Create a new layer chose this brush - (your saved brush) - choose white color - lower that opacity to about 80% and paint some of these dots.







Some black maybe too (on a new layer).



Opacity to the layer that has back spots is very low - represents shadows.



Next step: lighting technique.
Lightened:







See how many of these lights I have- just copied them.



One good at the top:



Some text adjustments:



Oh yeah almost forgot about the whole in the center. Make a new layer and tap just once with black color brush.



And I sake of realism - just apply inner shadow. I've also applied noise filter to the color circle in the center so it might feel real- like paper.







See how lights came out well.







All the purple layers are the foreground (2d) lights.



And this is basically it: oh yeah here is my text part done in illustrator - if you watch it carefully you can make it. Basically type is involved here.



So tnx for watching this tutorial and see you next time with more designs or illustrations.
