Photoshop creates perfect portrait effects with liquefaction tools

People often use the angel face Devil figure to describe a person's appearance of perfection, however, in the process of portrait photo processing, not everyone can achieve this requirement, and enter the digital age, with the help of the unique function of the software, can make the picture of the body infinitely close to this perfect image, Real life is not everyone is so perfect, each of us will have a personality of the face, then how to make portrait more perfect, this is the corresponding reference standards.

First of all, the perfect character's face is fastidious three chambers Five eyes, the so-called three Chambers, namely: the facial length divides into three equal parts, from the hairline line to the eyebrow line is a court, the eyebrow line to the nasal bottom is a court, the nasal bottom is a court.

Five eye-side refers to: the length of the eye-type unit, from the left hair to the right hair, the width of the face is divided into five halves. In addition, the shape of the face also has a very important structure is the mandibular angle, the apex of the tip of the nose, lip beads and the most anterior point of the jaw should be on a line, the jaw inside the line to explain the jaw is too short, beyond the line that the jaw is too long, and the perfect

The proportion of the body is also a reference standard, to the waist line for the demarcation of the lower half and the upper body ratio of 1:0.618, waist line to the shoulder: shoulder to head ≈1:0.618, waist line to the knee: knee to foot ≈1:0.618, this is the overall large proportion of human body reference standards. Details of the body are: shoulder width ≈ bust 1/2﹣4cm, chest ≈ height x0.53cm, upper arm wai ≈ thigh circumference 1/2, waist ≈ height x1/2﹣20cm, hip circumference ≈ bust ﹢4cm, thigh circumference ≈ waist circumference ﹣10cm, leg circumference ≈ height x0.21.

Understand the proportion of the basis, and then say the shaping process to pay attention to some of the points:

1, hairstyle, shape and facial features should be rounded and full, avoid Shing;

2, the small face upward lifting, shape to correct the original face of the lack of the main;

3, the body parts need to lift pressure shoulders, thin arms, waist, thin legs, elongated physique, to achieve a moderate proportion of the physique, smooth lines;

4, the overall shape to go up, compact to enhance the character temperament, full of vitality, avoid the shape down, fat, bloated, appear to wither and age;

5, the shape of the object with the body shape, line requirements full and smooth, play a foil to the role, and without losing the exquisite feeling, such as clothing and human shape of the fit. Avoid all deformation.

Now, take an example to illustrate the specific actions:

The first is the use of tools, plastic shape when an important tool is the liquefaction tool, a reasonable tool for the follow-up operation is very critical.

Effect:

Original film:

The model looks good, but because it is a close shot, plus the angle of the problem, appears slightly larger shape, you can use the Liquefaction tool appropriate adjustment.

Open the Liquefaction tool, most of the conventional adjustment only use the forward deformation tool, here note that the brush density and brush pressure set at about 50, brush size set to be trimmed objects as standard, slightly larger than the other side, such as the adjustment of the jaw brush slightly larger than the mandible transition area is better.

Convergence of the jaw can effectively reduce the face, pay attention to the direction of the picture callout, from the side of the jaw and the lower side of the two direction of the appropriate inward contraction, while the hair along the direction of the arrow appropriate to push outward, so that the hairstyle is more full, full hairstyle can be a contrast to face

Adjust the process, pay attention to face contraction do not overdo, appropriate adjustment is good, so as to avoid the distortion of facial features, and I differences too large, hairstyle adjustment can be a step closer to adjust the face, avoid too much.

Effect:

Original film:

The film model is plump, chest full, but a little less hip circumference, the focus on the control of the upper body and lower body ratio.

The character armpit back is thicker, need to adjust properly, let the whole back appear more emaciated, enlarge the brush to the appropriate size, the brush is placed in the character arm and back intersection, then follow the line direction of arm extension, can effectively reduce the back thickness.

Back after convergence followed by lines will be waist line, shaping the waist curve.

Handle the arm when the brush should be as large as possible, so that the arm lines more fluid, pay attention to the external lines of the arm to be straight and slightly curved, showing the muscular structure of the arm undulation, while paying attention to the inside of the arm contraction, so that the arm appears more compacted.

The model of the upper body is plump, in order to harmonize the overall shape, can appropriately reduce the bust, pay attention to the contraction to moderate.

Female body shape is beautiful, the shape of the hip line is very important, especially the model on the circumference of the obvious, here can be appropriate to promote hip circumference, so that the proportion of the body more balanced, but also can further highlight the beauty of women's curves.

Properly tighten the leg line, the overall shape even if completed.

Effect:

Original film:

The film model costumes to feather-oriented, the overall shape slightly bloated, the treatment should pay attention to the appearance of clothing contraction, the other model's hairstyle has more obvious defects, pay attention to adjust hairstyle, let its full mellow.

The body proportional adjustment should pay attention to the stretch of the leg line, this piece character only half, want to let the character appear slender, can raise the buttock line suitably, the original buttock line position straighten, this can appear the leg more slender straight.

The piece waist feather fluffy, appears the character waist is too coarse, the outer contour line liquefaction for the improvement is limited, here may use the folding tool in the Liquefaction tool to be appropriate to the waist band.

After dealing with these key parts, it appears that the shape of the figure is more perfect.

The curve on the side of the human body is obvious, but when dealing with the positive structure, it is necessary to use light and shadow control to achieve the goal.

Effect:

Original film:

The film for the front, first shape a positive body curve, pay attention to the appropriate increase in the hip circumference, can contrast the waist, while the buttocks line raised.

After the outer contour is molded, the character's waist shadow can be strengthened, thus making the waist look more slender.

With the help of light and shadow, the character's positive body can appear more concave and convex.

The neck is also a key to shaping the body, the long neck can make people look more upright.

Effect:

Original film:

The figure model pinch waist shrug, is very common portrait form, this posture, the character shoulder slightly, sometimes will appear neck some contraction, posture not stretch, shoulder neck adjustment is crucial. First, using the forward deformation tool for the shoulder and neck junction, bevel to the internal pressure shoulder, can make the shoulder more bone feeling, reduce back thickness.

Next to the clavicle position, the clavicle intersection downward stretch, so that both sides of the clavicle is slightly downward tilt of the state, can effectively lengthen the neck.

Finally, the shoulders of the shoulder part slightly raised, so that the shoulders appear full, slightly shrugged, the whole person shoulder neck of the line to stretch out.

In the use of liquefaction tools to deal with portrait, remember to people-oriented, to find the key points, not too deformed, reasonable use of the method of contrast, reasonable with the influence of light and shadow, you can shape a lifelike and perfect figure.
