Brush Properties

A hard-edged circular brush with a brush size from 4-20, such as:

The opacity is adjusted to 80%, such as:

Main color

The trunk color swatches are as follows:

Leaf color swatches are as follows:

Specific steps

First of all, of course, is to draw the trunk, create a new layer (new layer method with PS people know, I will not say), and then use the first color of the trunk color to draw the outline of the trunk

PS: Not the general ugly, haha

Then with the use of three colors in the trunk swatches to draw the tree's light and shade, the process can be used to enlarge the canvas to facilitate the drawing of details (shortcut keys "Ctrl" + "+"), the size of the brush can also be adjusted (shortcut keys "[" and "]"), general drawing details of the brush size of 2.

PS: Does it look normal now?

The trunk draws here first, then we begin to draw the leaves, first create a new layer, then select the first color in the leaf artboard, and then in the appropriate position (leaves generally long at the end of the branch), start clicking the mouse, each click to draw a dot can be, click the mouse in the process through the shortcut keys "[" and "]" Constantly changing the size of the brush, the range is approximately 4-15.

Then create a new layer and select the second color in the leaf palette, which is lighter than the previous one, and is designed to draw a hierarchical relationship of leaves.

Next, create two new layers, and use the two colors in the leaves palette to draw the leaves, reinforcing the leaf's hierarchical relationship.

And then add some more shadows. The shadow is added by creating a new layer on the tree trunk layer, adjusting the brush's opacity to 10%, the color to black, and then painting it in the right place.

Done!!!
