Special Shape Tutorial (i)

Tutorial

Want to do is like a metamorphosis of the shell or pupa-like objects, but do not want too stiff shape and color, so made some transparent effect, increased the feeling of ascension and light feeling, so that it seems to change all the time, and is not an empty shell there. The final effect is still a lot to improve, and the background is just a brief description. This is slowly saying.

The last tutorial a lot of people reflect how do not feel like me, in fact, I do not advocate completely follow my appearance, because there is no very strict steps, I said or my own method of exploration, the specific implementation steps need everyone to grope themselves, as long as the results are almost on the line. The most important thing is to understand some of the effects of the practice, and then you can flexibly apply to other places. This time I try to say the details of the steps, coupled with some of the operation of the screen, the best this time we can see clearly.

Then this began to spray, because the steps are more, suggest everyone to the toilet is good, save to go back to forget to do which step ...

In order to let everyone see clearly, with a dark background spread in the back, as long as the black on the line, preferably a little color, so that the light can be part of the play?

The first is to draw a desired shape, which is also arbitrary. Just look at what you want to do. This step is also to use the path to do. Easy to modify later. The fill of a path is better than a selection fill at any time. At present, this shape of mine is a modified oval.

Take a look at the approximate path.

Then copy the freshly drawn section into a layer, fill it with black, and merge it into an empty layer. Remove the Path property to make it easier to erase the shadow of the transition with the eraser. The purpose of this step is to depict the general direction of the newly completed shape, and the previous coloring tutorials have said that shadows and light are important means of expressing the object's icing on the surface. It's kind of like a sketch, "tone."

Wipe out the approximate parts, keep the light and think it's not in place.

Adjusting transparency 17% makes shadows more natural. As you can see, the direction of the sphere can be seen at this time.

Take this step at once, but this time keep the shadow of the semicircular section down, because the lower part of the sphere is painted deeper, and a few pixels up, revealing a white edge. This also helps to describe the three-dimensional sense.

Then you can figure out the direction of the surface of the object, copy the path just now, and then just modify the length of the control handle on the left and the top two nodes to make this shape.

Fill this layer into black

In the same way as before, use the eraser to erase the shaded parts. You can see the bump effect

Take one of the steps above to make another same part, and look at the following.

Now use the path to draw an inner core. Here's the approximate path.

Note that this shape requires a layer effect, while 17 of the primary colors are transparent, as the method said last time. On the Layers Panel, this section affects only the color of the path and does not affect the depth of the effect.

Also add a inner glow setting as shown

At the end of the previous steps, at the bottom of the second copy of the path, the overall reduction of a point, adjust the path as shown, let it feel included in it, while giving the periphery a little thickness.

The following step is to describe the shape of the center of the object, all through the layer effect completed, more steps. We'd better look at the final effect carefully, and note the setting parameters. Try to adjust yourself again.

Kind of, 17% primary colors transparent, inner glow effect, set

The effect of this step

After adding a pattern overlay setting as shown

Add a gradient overlay, add a transition, so that the screen does not look back so flat. Top with white cover, other transparent. This is not a good thing to do, because the transition color is different from the initial position and the transition color. My specific settings are as shown

Current effect

Finally add a color overlay because it doesn't look bright enough at the moment. Specific settings such as figure

Final effect. By this step, the effect of this layer is complete. It's best to pay attention at this time to the layer's coverage order and what's on the bottom. Some are supposed to be covered above, by transparently embodying the following elements. You need to take a closer look at the current appearance.
