Today this tutorial, there are a large number of details to be used to pen tools, unfamiliar students can take to practicing, confident pen tools familiar students to try the difficulty, the tutorial interface of all Chinese, English catching students can easily finish slightly, to try Bai.

1th Step:

Create a new PSD file with a 800x600px size. Using the Ellipse tool, hold down the SHIFT key to draw a positive circle, with the color set to # #0099FF.

Hold down the Alt+shift key and drag the circle down, and we'll copy the other round vertically as the bird's body. Perform the ctrl+t to transform the following circle, adjusting it to the shape in the following figure.

Select the direct Selection tool and adjust the circle below to make the head and body fully integrated.

Press Ctrl+e to merge the body with the shape of the head (CS6 new features).

2nd Step:

The oval tool is also used to draw two ellipses as the outline of the bird's eyes.

Then use the Pen tool to draw the bird's hair. You can first draw one, and then copy it after the simple deformation can be.

Use the elliptical tool to draw two positive circles in the eye, with the color filled to #5d3a14.

3rd Step:

Next, draw the feather portion of the bird's tail: Select the Rounded Rectangle tool, set the radius to 30px, and draw a rounded rectangle. Then use the direct selection tool to select the top three anchor points, the implementation of CTRL+T, the size of the original 60%, you can form a feather shape.

Copy the Feather Shape three copies, adjust the angle and position, create the shape of the tail.

Ctrl+e a few feather shapes and then ctrl+t them to flatten them.

4th Step:

Under the eyes with an elliptical tool to draw the mouth, color filled with #fcbd00.

Use the direct selection tool to adjust the anchor point to draw a sad expression on the mouth.

5th step:

Next, use the rounded Rectangle tool to create several shapes, arranged in the shape of the claws. Then copy the other paw.

6th step:

Draw a curly trunk with the pen tool. You can then use the direct selection tool to smooth the trunk a little bit, of course, if you have a basic understanding of the pen tool and path. (Here's a tip: When you use the Pen tool's "shape" mode, there will always be a large color to cover the image below, we can adjust the opacity of the layer to 0, draw it back again.) )

Using the Path selection tool, select the path you just created, press and hold the ALT key to copy it, and then use the Pen tool to close the open path. Adjust the thicker trunk sections with the direct selection tool.

7th step:

Use the Pen tool to draw the hand part, or you can use the Ellipse tool first draw an ellipse and then use the direct selection tool alignment adjustment. When you want to adjust the angle of an anchor point, hold down the ALT key to drag the anchor point handle to create a sharp corner.

Use the path selection tool to copy several copies and adjust them individually to form the shape of the folded fingers.

Copy these fingers again, ctrl+t, and right click on the horizontal flip to create the other hand.

8th step:

Draw the arm part with the pen tool.

9th step:

Then draw the teardrop. You can first create a circle with the Ellipse tool, then drag the top anchor point up and then convert it to a sharp corner with the conversion point tool.

10th Step:

The overall shape has been drawn, and then we continue to add layer styles to make the image more stereoscopic and detail-specific. We first add the inner shadow style to the body part. The parameters are set as follows:

As the body tones change, the color of the hair appears to be very uncoordinated, filling it with the color of the nearest body part.

11th Step:

The eye part is adjusted below. Double-click the eye layer to add a gradient overlay layer style to it, with the following parameters set:

Continue to add the inner shadow style, and there is a feeling of reflection from the scene in the lower part of the eye.

To brighten the edge of the eye, we add an inner glow style to it.

Add bevel and Emboss styles and stroke styles to make the eyes more stereoscopic.

Add an outer glow style to the eye. A faint glow can make the edge of the eye look softer.

Finally, the eye is added with a projection to make the eye have a convex effect.

12th Step:

Next we deal with the eyeball part.

First, use the inner shadow style to create a dark eye in the middle of the eyeball.

Add a gradient overlay to it.

Continue to add the inner shadow style to make the bottom of the eyeball appear reflective.

And then add a projection style. (Tip: Inner shadows and projections can also create high light, and inner and outer glow can also create shadows.) )

Create a white circle with the Ellipse tool, and then drag the anchor point below to adjust the shape to the reflective shape of the eyeball.

Add a gradient overlay to make it transparent.

Add an inner shadow style to make your eyes look more transparent.
