To draw blood dripping in Photoshop, follow the steps given below:
- Create a new layer and position it on top of the picture layer
- Go to the layer’s panel and click on the Brightness/Contrast icon
- Set the brightness to -28 and contrast to 90
- Make a new group and give it the name Color Grade
- Add three distinct adjustment layers over it
- Change the Color Lookup to Foggy Night with 16% opacity and layer mode to Multiply on the first adjustment layer
- The Selective Color Layer, i.e., the second adjustment layer will hold the modifications done in the red, yellow, black, and neutral colors
- The Curve Layer, i.e., the third adjustment layer will hold the modification done to white light balance
- Create a new layer now, select the Paint tool, and then form your flowing blood
- Note: Use Dark Red shade to do so
- After choosing the Soft Air Brush, apply Medium Red paint to the form
- Select the Soft Round Brush at this time, trim the tip, and then blend the edges
- To give your blood design more life, add shadows
- Create a new layer and change blending mode to Multiply
- Lastly, use the Dropper tool to select a dark shadow hue, and then select Air Brush to smudge the edges.
