I will give you a detailed analysis of the Illustrator software to share with you the tutorial on creating super-strong super-texture icons.
Tutorial sharing:
Step 1
We first draw the basic shape in Illustrator and use the pen tool (P) to create the logo outer frame.
Step 2
Use the pen tool (P) to start creating the S flag (refer to the true flag ).
Step 3
If you observe carefully, you will find several thin wires in the center of the logo, and use the pen tool to draw them out. This does not need to be too detailed, because we still need to adjust Photoshop later.
Step 4
Effect> 3D> protruding and diagonal. Custom rotation:-4 °, 0 °, 0 °, 120 °. Change the protruding thickness of 35pt. For specific settings, see the following figure:
Step 5
Object> extended appearance. Break down the graph and change the color to gray. Window> Path Finder. Merge shapes.
Step 6
Create a new document in Photoshop. I use 2880px * 1800px. The background uses a radial gradient from white to black.
Step 7
Copy an object and paste it into Photoshop. Divide the basic shape into one layer, and the 3D protruding part into one layer. Add the yellow part to the details.
Step 8
Select a yellow layer> a layer style. Select slope relief. For detailed settings, see the following figure.
Step 9
Select inner light. For more information, see the following figure.
Step 10
You can also set the shadow. For more information, see the following figure.
Step 11
The following figure shows the effect of the layer style.
Step 12
Select the current effect as white edge layer> layer mask, and use a black soft brush (B to hide some details (Area 1, 2, and 3 below ).
Step 13
Now you can use the pen tool (P) to hide the black part, then mask it, and hide some details with a black soft brush (B.
Step 14
Create a new layer on the red flag layer and use a black soft brush (B) to enhance the brightness and contrast of the logo. Ctrl + G layers are grouped into groups (press ctrl + click the red icon to zoom in) and add a layer mask to show only the Logo part.
Step 15
Select red icon layer> layer style. First, select slope relief. For detailed settings, see the following figure.
Step 16
Select a contour line and use the default value.
Step 17
Select the inner shadow. The inner shadow here mainly improves the brightness.
Step 18
Now add gradient superposition and use radial gradient to achieve better illumination.
Step 19
You can adjust the relationship between layers according to what you have done. For the final effect, see the following figure.
Step 20
Now add some textures. Select 3D protruding layer> layer style> color superposition (yellow color ). Import the metal texture material, ctrl + G layers into a group (press ctrl + Click 3D protruding thumbnail) and add a layer mask to display only the 3D protruding flag. The hybrid mode is changed to the stacking mode.
Step 21
Create a new layer and use a 30% white soft brush (B) opacity to draw the highlights. Ctrl + G layers are grouped into groups (press ctrl + Click 3D protruding thumbnail) and a layer mask is added to show only the Logo part. The mixed mode is changed to the color lightening mode.
Step 22
On the new layer, use a black soft paint brush (B) to draw a dark area (change the paint opacity as needed ). Add a layer mask to the ctrl + G Layer group (press ctrl + to click the 3D protruding thumbnail) to show only the Logo part. The hybrid mode is changed to linear deepening. In the transition (1, 2, 3, 4) area, you can use the plug-in tool (L) to create a perfect transition.
Step 23
Next, create a small shadow, copy the 3D protruding layer and the red flag layer, and fill it with black after merging. Filter> blur> Gaussian blur. Use a 10-pixel radius to change the blending mode to the front-slice and the opacity is 80%.
Step 24
Next, add the background texture, import the metal background material, and change the mixed mode to soft light.
Step 25
Next, add a flag texture, copy the metal background texture layer, and move it to the top layer. Add a layer mask to display only the Superman logo texture.
Step 26
Enhance texture. Place the metal material on the top and use the mixed mode to set the intensity to 70% opacity.
Step 27
Add the final metal texture, and use the mixed mode as the soft light.
Step 28
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E stamp visible layer, mixed mode changed to overlay opacity is 40%. On the new layer, use a white soft brush (B) to draw the light highlight, Ctrl + G layers into a group of mixed mode to change to linear fade opacity to 80%. Now the production is complete. Let's take a look at the effect. Because too many size source files cannot be uploaded, I reduced the size of the files.
All right, the above information is the detailed tutorial on drawing super-strong texture Superman icons for the users of this software of Illustrator, you can see that the user here, Xiaobian believes that you are now very clear about the drawing method, then everyone will follow the small series of tutorials to try to draw a Super icon with a strong texture.
