To give you painter software users to detailed analysis to share the painting Lute Player tutorial.
For the beauty sketch, I lowered the transparency of the scanning layer and, in painter (IX), used a custom brush to quickly draw on multiple layers. Strokes mimic the texture of a pencil.
Then, I made a cover map, estimated the shadow of the projection and the direction of the light source, made the shadow of the donkey area. I've tried different lighting angles to make sure the projection doesn't rob the protagonist of the limelight.
First in the painter, set the tone to orange, the background has a canvas texture, I use the software from the brush. So the picture seems to have a little bit of anger, but also have a sense of space. So the main color is basically stereotyped.
Then, in Photoshop, a solid area is drawn on the orange basis, and the area layer is placed between the orange tone layer and the outline layer.
Overlay all layers with a striped mane brush for quick painting on major parts, with a sharpness (zoom level) of around 25%, so that the entire picture is sized to match the size of the screen. In the process, the pencil and the original canvas tone are integrated with the painting. I put the projection on a single layer and I'll make adjustments later.
Modeling and detail Drawing
I kept building the structure and adding the details. Wait until the scene is completely set up so you don't have to add more detail. Then it's just a waste of time to make more adjustments and additions to the picture, mainly because it means adding more ingredients, which I'll add back when I finally deploy. Conversely, if you adjust and add too little, it is not enough to create a scene to meet the needs of the scene information.
The final synthesis, illumination, color
I think the whole image is not very consistent with the white page, so I synthesized the picture to make up for the flaw. So I drew a music stand, let it slowly and the white area of fusion, the music and candles on the ground to add a bit of white to the main part. At the same time, I put the color of the wall a little bit, to adapt to the white page, the partial area of saturation lowered, the final color and lighting layout is completed.
I used three brushes (custom), in the order shown in the picture below. Each brush is used only to change its size, but for striped round brushes I not only change its size, but I also change its stripes when necessary.
In the fifth step, I quickly drew the details of the picture: music, musical frames, candles, double-edged swords, clothing and so on. Almost nothing to trim.
I try to draw pictures as small as possible, but the details still need to be zoomed in. lute has a lot of strings, each string has its own shadow. When I draw a shadow, I use a striped round brush to draw the property to a straight line.
I make the shadow area heavier, then draw the texture of the wall, so that the main projection area of the boundary is not particularly obvious, and finally to draw candles.
I added neckline and cuffs to my clothes, so there was more white in the main area of the picture (see step Fifth), and some dark areas of the main part of the diagram were also adjusted.
On the layer where the stakes are drawn, I add a path, because I want to give them more detail than the rest of the diagram, so it doesn't look too slick. I hope you can experience a lot of fun in the process of drawing, if you have any questions, please email me.
Okay, the above information is small make up to you painter of this software users brought to the detailed drawing of the lute players to explain the full content of the tutorial to share, you see the users here, small series believe that you are now very clear the way to draw the bar, Then you go to follow the small series of tutorials yourself to try to draw under it.
