7, select the Pen tool, draw a crescent-shaped, and then fill the brown #c07c3e. The outline of the new Iris is not too much to mind, as it will not be apparent in the process of being portrayed.
8, in order to make the iris look more lifelike, double click the eye shape layer, and then set the inner shadow effect, set uncheck use Global light, angle -79°, size 10 pixels.
Set inside glow, opacity 53%, source Center, block 15%, size 8 pixels.
Sets the image overlay, blending mode is brightness, opacity 48%, scaling 65%.
Sets the projection, blending mode to screen, color #d79356, not using global light, angular -119°, distance 4 pixels, size 4 pixels.
9, the layer style is set well, the effect as shown below.
10, select the Mobile tool, and then press ALT drag, so you can copy the iris shape of the eye layer.
11, usually, the painting color will be more saturated than the photo. Select Layer > New adjustment layer > Natural saturation to set natural saturation of +88, so that the color saturation of the photo will be deeper.
12, the puppy's nose can increase the pink hue. Select Layer > New adjustment layer > Hue/saturation to set hue 359, saturation 33, lightness-33.
13, click the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer mask thumbnail, and then select Fill Black, the color effect hidden.
14, select the Brush tool, double-click the foreground color, choose White. Then right click on the canvas, bring up the Brush property panel, set the size to 40 pixels, hardness 50%, brush style as shown in the following figure.
15, the use of white brush color adjustment effect control in the position of the dog's nose. To confirm the operation, the operation position is for hue/saturation adjustment layer mask, reduce the adjustment layer opacity to 68%.
16, the following to improve the blue carpet color effect, add hue/Saturation adjustment layer, select the Drop-down menu set color channel for cyan, set hue-29, saturation +60, brightness +21.
17, press Alt+ctrl+a to select all layers, and then select Layers > Smart objects > Convert to Smart Objects, duplicate the new layer is "pet photo modified."
18, in the image details removed, hand-painted effect will be better. So choose Filter > Blur > Smart blur, set radius 2 pixel, valve value 50, high quality.
19, select "Filter > Liquefaction", choose the expansion tool, and then adjust the brush size to just the size of the dog's eyeball, and then point a few, then the eyeball is even bigger. All two eyeballs do the same thing.
20, the photo of the dog's nose looks a bit unnatural. Or in the Liquefied window, select the Forward deformation tool, adjust the shape of the nose, and then the nose has more vertical creases.
21, now the photo has been handled well, can be applied. Here we select the Smudge tool for operation. Reduce the opacity of the photo layer to 15%, which makes the photo almost invisible, creating a new layer named "Basic Smudge."
22, in the toolbar of the Fuzzy tool triangle drop-down menu, select the Smudge tool. Open the Brush panel, in the upper right corner of the gear out of the menu, select the M brush in the menu.
23, select the M brush, will pop up the following dialog box, click the Append m brush to the brush list.
24, in the Brush preset panel, pull the scroll bar to the bottom, select "Soft paint crayon." Then go back to the Brush panel, click on the shape dynamics, set the minimum diameter 35%, the size jitter and the angular jitter are all by default.
25, check the transfer, Strength jitter control selection of pen pressure.
26, select the Smudge tool, and then check "sample all layers". This is a useful way to sample all layers, even if they are almost invisible or transparent, and can be sampled.
27, so along the edge of the image with the smudge tool can produce paint brush traces, so you can sample from the picture, but not really painted on the picture.
28, understand the above principle, follow the direction of the puppy fur smear. Need to primarily not exceed the edge of the puppy itself image.
29, add a new layer on the image layer, named "Background smear." This layer will draw elements such as backgrounds.
30. The difference between the background smear and the basic daub is the size of the brush. Although the background will be relatively large, but also will contain some details. The brush size selected here is 200 pixels to 250 pixels.
31, continue to smear background elements. Smear along the edges of the main brush marks, be careful not to paint out of bounds, or you will inadvertently make the original traces far away.
32, the basic smear has been completed. The following is the time to deal with the details, the details of a good deal to make the work look more natural, more like a painting, and not just a simple PS operation. These important features, such as noses and eyes, require extra careful handling.
Temporarily hides the base smear layer and background smear layer. Add a new layer, named "Smudge Details", and set layer opacity to 75%. Set the Smudge tool to a hardness of 75% and a size of 20 pixels. Then carefully draw a clearer smear effect according to the details of the nose.
33. The option to sample all layers is turned off, and the hook refers to painting. The finger painting function allows the color to be painted on the canvas first and then dragged and applied. Set the color to black and the brush size to 10 pixels, narrowing the shadow around the iris. Change the color to #a86f2d, then highlight the lower left part of the iris.
34, close the finger painting, and then check all the layers sampling. Sets the brush size to 5 pixels and uses a short stroke to pull the light out of the pupil.
35, then use the finger painting, in the eye of the upper right to add some light specular reflection effect. This will make people feel that the eyeball is moist and shiny.
36, apply the same method to treat the other eye. Notice that the two eyes should be consistent in the direction of the light, making it feel like two eyes are attracted to the same light source.
37, in order to make the fur more real, below get a stroke of their own. Create a new canvas, 300dpi, 100*100 pixels.
38, the use of brush preset flexible particle round pen, set the size of 5 pixels, and then randomly draw a few close to the black spots.
39. Select "Edit > Custom Brush Preset" and rename the brush to "brush". This will save the brush and find it at the bottom of the Brush preset panel.
40, switch back to the main canvas, select the Smudge tool, the application just made the brush, set the size of 25 pixels, hardness 75%. Check all layers to sample, close finger painting. Add a new layer, "hair smear", in the transition area of the fur brush gently with the bristles, creating small clumps of hair.
41, in the process of smearing hair, you will find that the need to adjust the angle. The easiest way to do this is to right-click directly and drag the direction label directly in the pop-up menu.
42, Next, create a new layer "individual", the use of flexible particles round pen strokes, set the size of 4 pixels, close to all layers sampling, hook refers to painting. Set hardness 95%, painting color is #dfdbd8. Use a smooth, quick brush to draw the whiskers, eyebrows, and hair on the ear alone.
43, we want the hand-painted effect has been basically out, leaving the overall effect of the adjustment. Although this time is not very necessary, but the effect will be better after the fix. Create a new layer "white" above the background layer and choose white for fill.
44, add new layers on the top of the layer board, named "Edge smear." Select the soft oil crayon again, set the size of 150 pixels, check all the layers sampling, close finger painting. Apply between the white background and the painting area with the canvas you just set.
45, so the edge looks softer, more like a picture.
46, press ALT, select "Layer > Merge Visible layer", create merge layer, name "merge", set blending mode to soft light, scatter light, reduce layer opacity to 50%, reduce the effect.
47, create a new layer above the merged layer, named "Canvas." Select Fill to 50% gray. Then set the layer blending mode to overlay, this is gray will be completely invisible.
48, select "Filter > Filter Library", click on Texture folder, select texture. Set the texture to canvas, zoom 132%, highlight 4, light.
49, this will be with the screen to add a canvas texture effect, will increase the overall texture, and not just with the filter after the photo.
50, slightly yellow white will make the canvas look more realistic, add color overlay, color selection #fff9e8, blending mode for multiply.
Well, the information above is the detailed smudge tool brought to you by the users of Photoshop's software, which turns pet photos into a painting effect tutorial, and you see the users of Photoshop software here, So now go to the small part of the tutorial to share a try to make it.
