This illustration was made for the movie
Ghost in the Shell from Paramount Pictures.
Photoshop was used to composite several 3D
render passes, add photographic background plates, bring in
atmospheric efects like steam, and the inal colour grading.
With half a million online views and support from The Student Show
and Pantone, Yukai’s work is highly rated. We love this one, because it
feels slick yet playful: that’s the power of Photoshop brushes.
Jan has worked with countless production companies, and this is a
shining example of his work. We love the detail and atmosphere in
this piece, and so do 135,000 people who have viewed him online.
Barcelona-born Aitor has been recognised by four separate Behance showcases for

I work on my digital pieces as if they were a real canvas, so
I don’t usually accumulate many layers. In this piece I used
a layer for the background and another for the characters,
which I blocked to give them volume with brushstrokes.

This is the cover of a children’s book,
commissioned by Wide-Eyed Editions. The cover
image needed to incorporate the themes of the
book, feel coherent, and also feel related to the other pages
illustrated inside. Brushes were used to create the illustration.
