Start working by creating a new document (Ctrl+N) in Adobe

Photoshop CS5 with the size 1280px by 1024px (RGB color mode) at a
resolution of 72 pixels/inch. Use the Paint Bucket Tool (G) to fill
with #BE0500 color the new background layer.

Find a stock photo, I used this photo from Shutterstock. I would like to
thank the author of this photo, or if you prefer, you can substitute similar
image of your own.

change the Foreground color to black color and set
the Opacity to 15% in Options bar.

the brushes only visible within the content of the mans layer. Hold
