Learn how to create a surreal editorial illustration in Affinity Photo using Envato assets, AI-powered image editing, digital collage techniques, and painterly color grading.
In this Affinity Photo tutorial, we explore how to build a theatrical, dreamlike composition that feels “half real, half dream.”
You’ll see how to gather artistic references, use automatic writing to develop visual ideas, source isolated assets, generate and transform images with Envato tools, and bring everything together into a cohesive editorial illustration.
The workflow combines influences from Dada, Surrealism, Bauhaus, Renaissance painting, and contemporary editorial art.
You’ll learn how to work with:
- Mood boards and visual research
- Automatic writing for creative ideation
- Envato assets and AI image editing
- Isolated objects and generated figures
- CMYK document setup for print-inspired artwork
- Gradient maps for cohesive color grading
- Curves and vibrance adjustments
- Layer masks and blend modes
- Gaussian blur for blending different assets
- Painterly effects and chiaroscuro-inspired lighting
- Photocopy textures and distressed overlays
- Shadows, scale, perspective, and visual storytelling
This tutorial is designed for digital artists, illustrators, art directors, graphic designers, and creatives who want to improve their Affinity Photo workflow and create more distinctive surreal artwork.
