Original

Final effect

　　

1, open the original material, now we want to separate the tiger from the background, the method provided in the tutorial is to use the layer mask and then 1.1 points to pull out, but I think the channel to pull this picture better and easier to save details. First we open the Channel panel, select the red channel, copy the red channel, then make a level adjustment, move the slider of the black field to the right and move the slider of the gray field to the left until the background is almost black, the edge of the tiger includes the beard into white, and then we use the Burn tool to choose the depth of the range is shadow, Deepen the black part of the background until it becomes black, then adjust the depth to the high light, making the color of the beard and ears more white. Then use the Lasso tool to hook a rough outline to the inside of the Tiger's outer edge, because we're going to turn the inner part of the tiger into white, fill the selection with white after the selection, and then click "Save the Channel as a selection" under the channel panel, and the outer contour of the tiger is completely selected, And we're done with that. (Tutorial 2 to 4 steps are talking about how to use the layer mask + brush to pull the map, the individual feel more cumbersome and not easy to operate, I do not want to translate, not familiar with the passage of the students can refer to the original tutorial practice ~ ~)

2, in order not to damage the image itself, we still need a layer mask, and then use a larger brush to the left side of the Tiger face and body cover, while in the darker part also add some black.

　　

3, now the foreground color into white, and then the ear part of the restoration, pay attention to 100% of the opacity.

　　

4. Change the color to black again, reduce the opacity, and darken the middle of the ear.

　　

5, the neck of the stripes and the surrounding darkened, while making the white part of the looming.

　　

6. Until now, the visible part should be the head of the tiger and part of the neck.

　　

7, with 1% to 5% of the opacity, the chest of some white parts to restore. The dilution of the body part should not be too rash. Because the tiger's fur is uneven, you should be able to see some white parts.

　　

8, now our final figure is highlighted from the background, because the background is black, so now our diagram looks a bit strange, but after we add the adjustment mask, it will look great.

　　

9, now we are going to add the high light and shadow. Add shadows and high light to the position shown in the diagram. Personally think that the tutorial is added to the brush in a way that is not suitable for beginners, so it is recommended to construct a selection, then fill in black/white, and then use the Gaussian blur effect to shape the shadow and the high light, the same will have a good effect, but also easy to operate.

10, along the outside side of the tongue stroke, while in the middle of the tongue also add some white effect, but do not just use a larger brush, according to the texture of the tongue to operate.

11, for Tiger, along the edge of the tooth stroke, while in the middle also add some linear high light.

　　

12, the nose of the high light has some special, reduce the opacity of the brush, and then use the way to circle to draw a high light.

　　

13. Don't forget to add some high light to the tiger's lips and cheeks.

　　

14. Add a circle of obvious high light around the nose.

　　

15. Tune the brush's pixel to 1 pixels and then make the highlights look clearer.

　　

16. Don't forget to add high light to your head.

　　

17. Draw a shadow with a pixel brush.

　　

18, add shadow on both sides of Tiger, this will make the picture look more vivid.

　　

19. Add a similar shadow to the middle of the whole mouth. To make the picture feel stronger, draw shadows next to the white high light.

　　

20, now we have to focus on the entire head, the brush to 80 pixels, and then add a shadow in the white part.

　　

21, now should be in the dark part of the fur, use a pixel brush and very low opacity, and then draw a thin look like tiger hair, you need in many places to do this effect.

　　

22. Draw a thin, uneven high light in the ears and the top of the head.

　　

23, the picture will be strong effect here is done! Looks like it should be like this:

　　

24, we want to add an adjustment mask, first of all, optional color, select Layers > New adjustment layer > Optional color, select black and yellow, according to the data set in the figure.

　　

　　

25. Add a gradient layer mask below, select the first gradient in the second row of the diagram, and then change the leftmost color to: #121929, and then click OK.

　　

Final effect:
