Fireworks Tutorial: diy leaf strokes draw a tree

Compared to Photoshop's brush, fireworks is clearly a little hairy. Not only is the function is inferior, moreover the stroke's preservation and the management aspect is also very troublesome. But we just enjoy the fun of painting, not the power of software.

In this time, you will see how to use the Fireworksdiy "fine fig" leaf strokes and apply strokes to the mouse painting. Please be prepared to enjoy the fun of DIY!!!

One, DIY fine fig leaf strokes

If you want to start painting a tree at once, download the PNG file for the stroke or the. STL style file, and then read the second section directly.

1.1 Change stroke Properties DIY strokes

First draw a 200px horizontal vector line on the canvas, then apply the "oil painting-splash" stroke, the stroke size is 4px and the color is green.

Open the stroke option, "texture" to "smoke", 50%. Continue pressing the Advanced button to make the changes as illustrated in Figure 1, with the other parameters unchanged.

Press the "Add Strokes" button to add your DIY strokes, named "Oil painting Effect: leaves-fine fig". (A good name will be convenient for you to call later)

After adding, you can find your DIY brush strokes in the "oil painting effect" category.

Press Ctrl+s save file, file name and your DIY brush name is the same, named: Oil painting: Leaves-fine fig, and then save.

If you press Ctrl+r to import this file while you are painting, the DIY brush will automatically be added to the file you are painting.

1.3 Create a stroke style

Of course, you can manage your DIY strokes in a different way.

Select your 200px the line that applies the "leaf" stroke, press the Add Style button in the Styles panel, and then name the style as the stroke, and tick the options you want.

You can also export this style, create an STL style file with the same name as the stroke, and use the "style" Panel's import function to import it.

The two methods of managing strokes have their pros and cons, and the friends have mastered them.

If you don't read the first section, download the PNG file for the stroke or the. STL style file, and then start the second section.

2.1 Import strokes and colors

Create a new canvas with a 80x350px size and a black background.

Import strokes: Press Ctrl+r to import the "oil painting: Leaves-fine fig" PNG file, at which point the strokes are automatically added to your currently edited file, under the stroke "oil painting" class.

Import color: Use the color panel to import the thin Fig color. act file in the download package, or select the color in Figure 2 directly with the eyedropper.

2.2 Painting of the large trees

Use the "brush" tool, imitate the following diagram of the process of the tree painting.

The process of painting should be noted:

Stroke is "oil painting effect-leaves: fine fig", the size between 4~6px.

Because the canvas is black, you can use a black stroke as an eraser.

Since I painted the original color samples were lost, so the artwork and tutorials are somewhat different colors.

2.3 Later color processing

For the color processing, each person's likes and dislikes are different. The following is just a reference.

For the tree I drew,

Cloned tree trunks and deciduous bitmaps, blending mode to 50% "added"

The bitmap of the crown was cloned and the blending mode was changed to 80% "heating".

For your own drawing of the tree, should be based on the actual situation to change.

Summarize

When you create a new stroke, you name it with a large class that you want to find later.

The stroke size sets the pressure-sensitive parameters that can be used to control the stroke's thickness with the up and DOWN arrow keys when painting.

Select a different fill texture for the stroke to achieve a different texture.
