Pegasus (a horse with wings) may be a mythical animal, but you can bring it to life in Photoshop. To begin, you’ll take two photos—one of a normal horse, one of a normal bird—convert them to grayscale, and combine them into the beautiful silhouette of a winged horse.
Along the way, I’ll give you tips you can apply to any Photoshop project. You’ll learn about Levels Adjustment layers, clipping masks, the Brush tool, the Path tool, and more.
