A course on the Octopus Island Fisherman's fishing shark in Photoshop

First look at the effect chart:

1. Create a 1500*1895 pixel canvas

2, open the underwater material, drag into the new canvas, the layer into a smart object, and then use the tools such as free transform to select the desired parts, to achieve the diagram effect.

3, open the Nebula material, copy all, drag onto the canvas, resize to the diagram, layer mode is superimposed.

4, the Nebula layer to add a layer mask, using a gradient or other methods to cover the water below the surface, where the gradient.

5, by double-clicking the browser or the preset manager load brush has entered the brush material. Enter a brush, create a new layer, make some black birds, and change the opacity of the layer to 46%.

6, open the moon material, using the Elliptical marquee tool to select the moon, copied to the canvas diagram position, resize, opacity 22%, add a layer mask, covering the underwater part, to reach the moon just from the water rising effect.

7, open the underwater material 2, copy all, paste to the diagram position.

8, add a layer mask, covering beyond the surface of the water, where the gradient map is used.

9. Create a new layer, use a white brush to draw a white line between the water and the underwater boundary, and change the opacity of the layer to 33%.

10, open the Material fish 1, select all, copy to the diagram position, resize, layer opacity is 46%.

11, now create Octopus Island, open the Octopus material, select all, drag to the diagram position.

12, for octopus material, add layer mask, use black brush, 40%-50% opacity, deal with the underwater section as shown in the picture.

13, create a hue saturation adjustment layer, the value as shown in the figure, click the adjustment layer, change to cut the layer.

PS: Quickly create a clipping layer, hold down ALT, click between two layers, the previous layer becomes the next layer of the cut layer, the benefit of the cut layer is only for specific layers, not affect all layers.

14, a new hue saturation adjustment layer, saturation of 25, to cut the layer, to the layer mask filled with black, and then use the white soft angle brush, 80% opacity, to deal with the underwater part of the octopus.

15, the octopus and adjust the layer into a group, copy this group, adjust the position as shown in the picture.

16, add a layer mask to the Octopus replication group, wipe out the tentacles of the diagram position, and keep the parts you need.

17, open the island material, drag into the diagram position, use the layer mask to adjust, so that the island looks like growing on the octopus head.

18. Create a new layer, use a standard chalk brush, opacity 10%, Pixel 1-2, and draw a white line between the head of the octopus and the surface of the water.

19, open shark material, drag into the diagram position, add layer mask, use black soft angle brush, 10% opacity, handle shark underwater part.

20. Create a new layer and use a standard chalk brush to draw a white line between the shark and the water.

21. Create a new layer, enter a blood brush, the foreground color is set to dark red, do some spotting near the shark mouth, layer opacity 20%-30%

22, new hue saturation adjustment layer, adjust blood color, as shown in the figure, add layer mask, wipe the mouth inside the spotting.

23, new curve adjustment layer, layer mask filled with black, use the white soft corner brush to wipe the shark teeth.

24, create a hue saturation adjustment layer, brightness set to-100, layer mask filled with black, white brush smear shark eye parts, opacity 100%.

25. Create a new layer, use a white brush, opacity 10%, and make a white reflective spot near the shark's eye.

26, enter the splash material, create a few layers, here use three, each layer in the shark mouth around the creation of spray, use layer mask to cover the underwater section, layer opacity to 70%-80%.

27, open the ship material, all selected dragged into the canvas, the ship close to the island near the water, using a layer mask to hide the bottom of the ship, it seems that the ship floating in the sea.

28, create a new layer, layer mode overlay, into the boat layer of the clipping mask, using black brush opacity 20%, smear the boat.

29, create a new hue saturation adjustment layer, and the ship made clipping mask, saturation adjustment to 68.

30, create curve adjustment layer, set the following figure, to the boat layer of the clipping mask.
