Class Notes: Creating Imaginary Images Using Popular Software

Introduction

Creating imaginary images is a powerful way to bring ideas, concepts, and fantasies to life.
Various software programs enable users to design and manipulate images using different
techniques, including artificial intelligence, digital painting, and 3D modeling. Below are some
of the most popular software tools and steps to create your own imaginary images.

1. Popular Software for Image Creation

A. Adobe Photoshop (Raster-Based Editing & Digital Painting)

 Best for: Digital painting, photo manipulation, and graphic design.


 Tools to Use:
o Brushes and layers for digital painting.
o Blend modes and filters for effects.
o AI-powered Neural Filters for generating variations.
 Steps:

1. Open a new canvas and set the desired resolution.


2. Sketch a rough idea using a basic brush.
3. Use layers and colors to refine and enhance the image.
4. Apply filters, blending, and effects for a final touch.

B. Adobe Illustrator (Vector-Based Image Creation)

 Best for: Creating clean, scalable, and stylized images.


 Tools to Use:
o Pen tool and shape tools for vector drawings.
o Gradients and color blending for depth.
 Steps:

1. Start with a blank artboard.


2. Use vector tools to create your base shapes.
3. Add colors, gradients, and textures.
4. Save in scalable formats like SVG or AI.

C. Blender (3D Modeling & Animation)

 Best for: Creating 3D imaginary scenes and objects.


 Tools to Use:
o Sculpting tools for organic shapes.
o Shader Editor for realistic materials.
o Cycles and Eevee for rendering.
 Steps:
1. Create a base model using mesh primitives.
2. Sculpt details and refine shapes.
3. Apply textures and lighting.
4. Render the final scene with proper camera angles.

D. MidJourney / DALL·E (AI-Generated Imagery)

 Best for: Generating unique images using AI from text prompts.


 Steps:
1. Sign up and access the AI tool.
2. Enter a descriptive prompt (e.g., "A futuristic city with floating islands").
3. Adjust parameters (style, resolution, variations).
4. Download the generated image and edit if needed.

E. Procreate (iPad Digital Painting)

 Best for: Creating freehand digital paintings and illustrations.


 Tools to Use:
o Brush Library for different textures.
o Alpha Lock & Clipping Masks for shading.
 Steps:

1. Open a new canvas and sketch.


2. Block in colors and add details.
3. Use effects and blend modes for depth.
4. Export as PNG, JPEG, or PSD.

2. Best Practices for Creating Imaginary Images

 Use References & Mood Boards: Helps in visualizing complex ideas.


 Experiment with Different Styles: Try photorealism, abstract, or fantasy.
 Leverage AI Tools: Use AI-assisted generators to speed up the process.
 Combine Multiple Software: Use Photoshop for touch-ups after AI-generated images.
 Practice & Iterate: The more you create, the better your skills will become.

Conclusion

Creating imaginary images requires both creativity and technical skills. Whether using digital
painting, AI, or 3D modeling, choosing the right tool can significantly impact the final result. By
mastering these tools, you can bring your imagination to life in unique and captivating ways.
