Pace 12

Download the splatter brushes and load them into Photoshop.
Using the splatter brushes I painted dripping blood backside the text. To practise this, you need to create a new layer and drag it under the text layer using Move Tool (V). Now utilise dissimilar splatter brushes to paint the blood with nighttime red color (I chose #4d0000). Don't forget to proper name this layer 'dripping blood'. Also, you tin can paint the blood over the text and just create a new layer above the text layer and pigment the blood.

What I really did here is that I painted some splatter upshot using the brushes. Then I added a layer mask to this layer, once again I used the same castor with black colour to mask them in order to get the squeamish dripping claret effect. Endeavor to achieve variation and also don't forget to vary the brush opacity and size. If yous don't want to utilise the splatter brushes then you can as well use blood textures.

Finally, I painted some more blood using a difficult round brush with the aforementioned color. To do that, pick a red color (choose #d80c22) and activate the Brush Tool (B). Fix the opacity and menses to threescore-lxx%. Utilise a hard circular brush to pigment the dripping blood coming out from the text with 4-x pixels brush size. To paint the blood vertically, y'all tin can hold the Shift key and information technology will the brand the mouse motion straight. Afterward painting the claret, I painted the baste in the blood. Use the same color and pigment the drip at the end of the blood using hard round brush with size two-vi pixels. Also, make sure you to get the overnice length for claret and try to paint the blood in different length so it will look good. Don't forget to create a new layer for the drips under the text layer.

If you desire y'all tin can likewise add the blending options effect to painted claret to brand information technology wait realistic. But I would like the go along this effect uncomplicated but sometimes changes are expert. Feel complimentary to experiment with that and who knows maybe y'all'll become the better effect than this i.
