How to Create a Picture Mockup for Canva
Ever wanted to know how to create a picture mockup? In this video I'll talk through the process of using Canva + Photopea to create lighting overlays and realistic picture mockups. I'll show you how to analyze an initial scene and then how to use free software like Photopea to reproduce shadow and lighting layers that can then be brought back into Canva. The result is a picture mockup that serves as an easy to update Canva template that includes lighting layers and a baseline image that can easily be updated.
