SOURCE image
Final effect
First, we put the reference map of Master Sun Li and the source image explained in the article for comparative analysis. The reference image is grayed out as a whole. The contrast is small, the brightness is low, and the saturation is low. The color temperature is higher than the source image. There are many details, including highlights and dark parts.
The source image has some losses in high light and dark areas (the loss is reflected in the highlights of the hair, nose beam and left corner of the eye). The most significant characteristic of the reference image is the strokes of the secondary strokes of the background and the auspicious clouds of the background, in view of the fact that I can only draw Old Man Ding's skills, Xiangyun and the background strokes can only be solved with materials.
1. After the analysis is complete, import the LR file to adjust the tone. LR's adjustment idea mainly depends on the comparison and analysis above, mainly on the adjustment of clothing colors, the addition of the overall atmosphere, the reduction of exposure, and the reduction of comparison.
2. Next, we will transfer the details to PS and add the color rendering and materials. Due to the fact that PSD has been merged by me, some preliminary steps have been lost-neutral gray brush light and shade and defect processing, and the hair on the left of the model's forehead edge is mixed hair processing, and use the shadow highlight to pull back some dark details. These modification operations only require some basic PS skills, and I have made a GIF comparison.
3. The following section describes how to perform color polishing. The steps are complex and there are a lot of back-and-forth colors in the middle.
4. After finishing the color layers, print the layers as shown in the following figure.
5. Add Xiangyun materials for the background.
6. Add a solid color layer: # 814e2d. The mode is dimmed and the opacity is 20%.
7. The following results are displayed.
8. Further polish, add the overall shading material, and create a pen stroke.
9. Adjust the lip color. I will not go into details here.
10. At last, compare the reference image, and find that the reference image is red in the whole, and there is red in the black. So proceed with the adjustment.
