Photoshop design to make a beautiful and realistic purple butterfly orchid-PS tutorial

The flowers seem complicated. In fact, the production method is very basic. First, we need to split the flower part into a single individual, and then one by one from the color, detail, rendering highlights. After the general completion, fine-tune the details and colors.

Final effect

1. create a 1024*768 pixel document, select the gradient tool, and set the color to 1. the radial gradient shown from the center to the corner is used as the background.

2. make the flowers first. the breakdown diagram is as follows. the seemingly complex flowers are actually relatively simple. The partially superimposed petals do not need to be too complete.

3. the effect of making the first petal is as follows.

4. create a new group, use a pen to draw the outline of the first petal, convert it into a selection area, and add a layer mask to the group, as shown in.

5. create a layer in the group and fill it with purple: # CA6DCA as the background color. The effect is as follows.

6. create a new layer and use a pen to draw out the selected area. after 25 pixels are formed, fill in a slightly bright purple: # DF79DD, which is used as the highlighted part in the middle.

7. create a new layer. in the same method, gradually strengthen the highlight from the center to the left edge. the color is reduced once, and the process is 8-10.

8. create a new layer, use a pen to show the highlight selection area in the lower right corner, and fill the light purple with 10 pixels after the feathers: # DA85E3. The effect is as follows.

9. create a new layer, use a pen to draw out the hidden area in the lower right corner, and fill the blue-purple: # C288CE with 10 pixels after the feathers.

10. now let's create a new layer in the middle of the highlights, and use a pen to hook out the selected area. The area is divided into two pixels and filled with lavender: # DE99E5. after removing the selected area, add a layer mask, use a black brush to wipe out the transition part of the edge. The effect is as follows.

13. create a new layer, use a pen to draw out the reflective selection area of the Edge part, and fill in the light purple with 5 pixels after the feathers: # D1A9D5, as shown in.

14. add some darkness on the edge, and the first petal is basically complete. The effect is as follows.

17. create a new group on the top of the layer. make the flower part in the same method as above. This step is a little more complicated. you can create several more groups. The effect is as shown in.

18. create a group on the background layer, and create the rattan part in the same method as above. The effect is shown in.

19. create an optional color adjustment layer on the top of the layer to adjust the white color. the parameters and effects are shown in figure.

20. enhance the contrast. The effect is as follows.
