Cartoon animation character Fill example: Q Version cherry wood Flower Road

Wen/sunming Source: 5D

This article uses Photoshop and Opencanvas to draw cartoon anime characters--q version cherry wood Flower Way, mainly includes the line draft depiction and fills the color two big steps.

First, open Photoshop (hereafter referred to as PS), create a new layer to draw a draft.

Second, the draft is finished and then a new layer, this time to draw a smooth line draft. (But don't forget to reduce the opacity of the draft to facilitate the observation of the line).

Third, use the Pen tool to trace the path in draft, and adjust the anchor point to smooth the path. (Why use the path, the advantage is to draw the line is very smooth, but the disadvantage is too time-consuming, so the foundation of a good friend can draw directly with the brush).

And then we're going to stroke the path, select the tool for the stroke, and click on the simulation pressure option to draw the effect of our hand-drawn line in the simulation reality. (Note: You need to set the stroke tool you want to use before you stroke, such as with a brush, you need to adjust the thickness and type of the brush, I use a pencil-like brush, and stroke path is the pen tool in the case of selecting the right mouse button, select the stroke path, there are many beginners including I often can not find this option, hehe.

Use this method to draw all lines and save them in PSD format. (Single painting so a little bit of time, if the painting complex point I dizzy, it seems necessary to play well!) ）。

Then use the OPENCANVAS3 (OC) to open this file. PS can also be painted, but I personally feel the use of OC color is very convenient, and there is anti-aliasing, so no matter whether the enlarged image is so smooth, PS seems not, or have, I do not know.

Create layers for different objects, then tile the color of the object itself with a pen.

Eight, then to describe the object's light and dark relationship, here is your own method. Note that when painting a layer, hidden in addition to other layers of the manuscript, easy to paint (in fact, I would like to draw a flat point of effect, but I used too many fuzzy tools, the results of my unexpected effect, hee, painting sometimes is really a plan to catch up with the changes)

Nine, the other things are also painted almost.

Ten, then depict the facial features, adjust the details of things, such as the reflection of the object Ah, projection ah what.

Xi. after painting, save as PSD format with PS Open. Merges all layers except for the line draft.

12, create a mask for the color layer, in order to wait for the white place do not block the background.

13, choose a suitable background pattern put in the bottom, because and basketball related, I chose a basketball court bar. (No actual photos, just I was doing decorating, the computer has a few basketball court effect map, this came in handy)

14, because the original picture and the picture is not very coordinated, so do a simple treatment.

First, with a watercolor filter to deal with, make the effect like watercolor.
16, followed by a dynamic blur, used to highlight the main body.

17, because I painted the edge of the color is more clear, and the background is not very able to fuse together, so the color manuscript blurred a bit, although the effect is not obvious, but looks much better.

18, the background is too dark, put on bright!

19, Xi Hee! This simple picture is done, by the way sign my name!
