In photography, a silhouette is an effect produced due to the significant difference between the reflected light of the main object at the front of the image and its background. To produce a silhouette, light from the back of the object must be very bright then captured by measuring the luminance of the background light. (source: wikipedia)
There are two techniques for making silhouettes, namely traditional techniques and modern techniques.
For traditional techniques, it is common to use white paper as a background and black paper that has been cut following a predetermined object which is then pasted on white paper.
As for modern techniques, it is common to use editing applications such as CorelDraw, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.
Well, if so, we just practice it together by following How to make a Silhouette Photo below (using the CorelDraw X7 application)
Step 1
Open your CorelDraw application and open a new worksheet (CTRL + N)
Step 2
Import (CRTL + I) photos that you will turn into silhouettes, good photos are usually photos that appear from the side.
Step 3
Tracing the photo by following the shape of the body or head according to the object specified. Here I use the Pen Tool to make it easier for Tracing
To make a curved line, use the Shape Tool then right-click on the line and select To Curve.
Step 4
Delete the photo earlier and then give color to the object that has been made, the average silhouette is dark or black.
Step 5
Finish, that's about the result of making this silhouette photo.
