Make a beautiful light bulb in fireworks

Before we start the tutorial, let's take a look at what this beautiful light bulb looks like (see chart below):

　

Or that sentence, if you really look at this light bulb is not beautiful, I can not force you to see the following text:), ask not so harsh friends, please come with me!

This section focuses on: Some practical tips for bitmap manipulation learning.

1, the new file, the size of 100*100, background color is the default white, the following figure:

2. Select the rectangular Drawing tool of the toolbox, with the SHIFT key, draw a square in the editing area. Fill the color random, as long as the background color is not the same, the color used here is red; do not stroke, size, position as shown in the following figure:

3, in the square is selected, execute menu command "Modify--transform--numeric Transform", in the subsequent pop-up dialog box, choose the change in the manner of "Rotate (rotation)", and the input rotation angle of 45 degrees, The details are set as shown in the following illustration:

4, after the rotation deformation operation, will appear a diamond, in the diamond in the selected state, select the Toolbox free deformation tool, the diamond horizontal scaling operation, please see the following illustration operation Demo:

5, after the horizontal scaling operation, resulting in the following figure shown in the graphic:

6. Select the Super Selection tool for the toolbox, select the bottom path node for the horizontally deformed object, and you can now have two ways to do the following: First, drag up the mouse to implement the path node upward; second, continuously press the UP ARROW keys on the keyboard, The same can be achieved to the path node up, we recommend that the second method, the advantages of nature is self-evident, do not have my nonsense, adjusted after the graphic as shown in the following figure:

7, OK, now we have the prototype of the bulb has been basically done, that is, we are painting the manuscript has been completed. If you are not satisfied with the shape of the current bulb, you can continue with the freeform tool and the Super Selection tool in the 5th and 6th steps of the deformation adjustment work, we here the final adjustment results as shown in the following figure:

8, select the adjusted after the completion of the object, open the effect (effect) panel, the implementation of which "Blur and Glow--gaussian Blur (Blur and Halo-Gaussian blur)" Effect command, in the pop-up Gaussian Blur Settings dialog box, Set the value to 6.4 (please note that the value is not set too large, through the following operation I believe you will understand the reason), the specific settings refer to the following figure:

9, select the object, the implementation of shortcut key "Ctrl+shift+alt+z (Transform Bitmap)", the object into a bitmap operation object, whether has been transformed successfully, we can from the Layer (layer) panel observation, as shown in the following figure:

10, the Selection Toolbox magic Wand Tool, open Options (options) panel, to set the following figure shown (note: Tolerance tolerance value, not too big, but also not too small, if not certain, you can set the following figure to adjust the value, And then try it a few more times on your own):

11, use the Magic Wand tool to select the center of the bitmap object, so that the same color or a certain color tolerance color selected, as shown in the following figure:

12, the implementation of shortcut key "Ctrl+shift+i (reverse selection)", the selection of the selected part of the reverse selection, and then press the DELETE key, delete the reverse selection, and then use the shortcut key "Ctrl+shift+i" again, reverse select the editing area, the same press DELETE key, Delete the selection, and the edit area should now look like the following image:

13, carefully look at the selection area, should be a light bulb contour. Okay, now we're going to color the light bulb, select the Paint Bucket tool in the toolbox, and now notice whether the "Fill Selection only (fill selection)" Option for the options (panel) is selected or not, and if not, check it out, as shown in the following figure:

14, open Fill (fill) panel, set up, fill the way with "Linear (linear gradient)", fill color with "red-black" gradient, specific settings as shown in the following figure:

15, the use of paint bucket tool, in the editing area of the selection area to drag, you can realize the gradient of the fill, please note the direction of color, fill the following figure after the completion of:

16, Haha, the appearance of a light bulb has basically appeared, and the rest of the work is how to make the light bulb looks more lifelike, now we want to add a high point to the light bulb: Choose the toolbox of the Oval drawing tool, on the "light bulb" side of the drawing of an ellipse, do not fill Strokes using Pencile or basic 2-pixel soft line strokes, the exact location, the effect shown in the following figure:

17, shortcut key "Ctrl+shift+alt+z", the ellipse ring this path object into a bitmap operation object, so that we can use the Toolbox Eraser tool for the object to easily erase the operation, after erasing the effect of the figure shown below:

18, after the erasure operation, we can find that the light bulb has appeared, and then we will be the high light part of the virtual blur processing, open the effect (effect) panel, the implementation of which "Blur and Glow--gaussian Blur (Blur and Halo-Gaussian blur) "Effect command, in the Gaussian Blur Settings pop-up dialog box, set the value to 1.2, the specific settings see the following figure:

19, okay, a lifelike light bulb has been made, next we have to add a base to the lamp, otherwise the bald seems too ugly ~ ~:), we play their own ideas, here I come to "a"-Add an "ugly" but a practical base, as shown in the following picture:

20, really not easy, did not expect to draw a small light bulb actually need to cost us so much time, hey, do it yourself, in fact, quickly ^ ^, look at the following light bulb, if you are interested, you may wish to think, through which effect effect command can easily achieve change in color adjustment ah? I can't think of it. Could you give me Mail , please? haha ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I wish I would not receive the mail~~ this section ends here.
