2. The original sketch
This was an original
sketch. I created it by
drawing the butterfly and
copying one of the sides
and reflecting it to the
other side to obtain the
symmetrical image.
3. Layer 1
I have created this
background in the
program Alchemy that
uses vector graphics
to create random
drawings.
4. Layer 2
In the next layer I
have added the light
drawings created
using the website
http://weavesilk.com/
in a "screen" blending
mode
5.
6. Layer 3
In the new layer I
added one side of the
butterfly, to make sure
it is symmetrical. Also,
the blending mode
used here was "divide"
7.
8. Butterfly 2
I have used the same
method to make this
another butterfly. As a
background I used the
vector image created
in Alchemy.
9. Layer 2
However, I did not
quite like the shape of
it so I used the brush
tool to delete some of
the drawing elements.
10. In the new layer I placed
the butterfly, changing the
blending mode to "Hard
light" and bringing the
opacity down.
