To give you painter software users to detailed analysis to share a beautiful mermaid illustration of the tutorial.
1, new canvas, in the background layer covered with dark green. Then create a new layer with an oily crayon tool to make a draft. Determine the action.
2. Deeply depict light and shadow.
3, suddenly feel the existing skin darker, look uncomfortable. So I did the "effect"---"Tonal control"---"Adjust Color" (ctrl+shift+a) operation, adjust the hue and saturation. It looks much more comfortable now. Choose a series of skin color, enrich the body, pay attention to the portrayal of reflective surface. Since it is a mermaid, it should be different with humans, where I decided to change the character's ears and pupil. It was supposed to be a scale on the face, but it did some damage to the beauty, so it canceled the setting. Shoot high light to make the skin more transparent. If you feel satisfied, to avoid visual fatigue, you might as well flip the canvas horizontally and you will see obvious flaws.
4, the portrayal of the body part. The fins are added to the side of the arm and the outer thigh. Because in the design of this mermaid part of the body is in the water, so in the painting when the naked part of the outside will be brighter, on the contrary, the part of the water is slightly darker.
5, with the addition of pen to reconcile, make it transition natural. The part of the water can be drawn roughly, because the texture of the water will be added eventually. Use a rubber tool to erase the outer contour of a character. Activate the background layer and draw the approximate lighting.
6. Now it's time to start adding scales to the fish. If the mind does not have the concept of scale, then you can search the pictures of fish, for reference. My method is: first with the pencil tool out of the outline, and then with oily crayon from the side of the scales to the outside from the back to the clear color, and then use the Pencil tool to choose White to add high light. In this way carefully draw each piece of fish scales (the dark part of the scales omitted)
7, according to the above method to draw out the chest scales. Use the Pencil tool to draw the hair according to the direction of the hairs, here you should pay attention to the hair naked outside and in the water different feeling. Then add a tiara to the head.
8, in the background layer with the airbrush tool to draw the watermark. Then select "Window"-"Mining library Panel"-"show paper Lines" To open the paper grain Control Panel. Adjust the proportion of the paper, contrast and brightness, the use of oily crayon tool to draw a high light. Because the oily crayon can reflect the paper pattern very well. Create a new layer to draw the water ripples on the body of the character.
9, now began to deal with the texture of water. Apply ink to the background layer to soften the edges. Use the Smudge tool in the pen to paint the water halo, and then use the Pen tool in the leaky pen to strengthen the small high light. The whole painting is finished. Here is the completion diagram and some details.
