Grunge Burst Youtube advanced tutorial.
I used a photo of a Longboarder and cut him out with the eraser. i]I then created the curved lines with the Pen Tool i put the lines i created into a group so that i can have two different colors (Blue and Red) i used a mask on these groups to limit the color and grunge backgrounds to the lines i then created three layers in each group to dedicate three variations of the same color. for the blue lines i used Dark-Blue Light-Blue and Cyan colors.
For the Red colors i used Red orange and yellow i then searched for grunge background on Google images to use as a background for the lines. I then used the overlay and linear light options to blend the backgrounds with their respective colors.
for the purple background and green person i did the same as with the lines.
