The author of a very good sentence: I don ' t consider myself an artist ... I ' m just a dreamer.

Let's take a look at the effect chart:

1. Open a sea of background, the sea is the home of adventurers.

2. Edit > Transform > Deformation, so you can make a dynamic effect.

3. Continue to make dynamic effects for the sea, filter > Liquefaction, the effect shown in the following figure.

4. Use a pen to dig the hamster into the sea (I have a small dream in my heart one day riding a pony donkey to walk the world ^_^ Children Naïve dream.)

5. Edit > Color range, select the bright spot on the glass.

6. Determine the color range of the dialog box, the glass layer is selected to press Ctrl+j to copy a layer, and then hide the copy, you will see the image below.

7. Press Ctrl+d to cancel the selection, then display the glass layer and press Ctrl+j to copy one to do the backup. Hide the backup layer again. Select a glass layer change opacity to 60%. This will have a gray-white effect.

8. Now you have to pick out the hamster, you can use the pen tool to pull the picture. But there is a simpler and faster way, you can use the mask to dig, the effect is as follows:

9. Hold down the SHIFT key, select the three layers (glass original layer, glass copy layer, highlight layer), then press Ctrl+e to merge into one layer.
To make the glass look on the water, use the mask to paint off the bottom. If you think the glass looks more transparent, use a Dodge brush to paint the Dodge effect.

10. As an adventurer, how can you not have a flag weaving, open the flag weaving layer to drag the flagpole in, and then do the high light, the left to do a high light, the right selection area filled with brown (with the eyedropper color selection).

11. Create a new layer, use a black brush, paint a shadow, and change the opacity 45%.

12. Wear a hat to the hamster, use the warp tool to make the hat fit the size of the hamster (1). Under the Hat layer, create a new layer and shadow the hat with a soft black brush (2). Create a new layer now it's a shade for the Hat (3).

13. That is, the adventure is not without a little irritation, so give you a shark, how about. Cut the shark's fin with a pen, put the shark's fin under the hamster layer, and hide unwanted parts with the mask. (You can use a brush to control it easily.)

14. Do a refractive effect. Cut the ocean off a fragment, put it behind the glass, and move it up. There is a perspective effect.

15. Now add a cool effect to the sea background. First, adjust the curve, (input 91 output: 41)

Add a photo filter, image > Adjust > Photo filter.

Add a gradient setting to the following figure:

Image > Adjustment > Hue/saturation, set the following figure:

The color balance is set as follows:

16. Using the smudge brush (opacity 90%, pixel size 2-4), start smearing the hamster's fur, the effect is shown below.

17. Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur (6px) blending mode is changed to soft light.

18. Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur, set as follows, change opacity to 50%, do some dynamic effects.

19. The final finish of this Photoshop tutorial:
