Photoshop drawing Fan

the fabrication of the fan blades

1. Open Photoshop and create a transparent background document with a width of 10cm, 5cm, and 72ppi resolution.

2. Use the rounded Rectangle tool inside the shape tool (paint only, do not draw path mode, fillet radius 15 or so), and draw a blue-purple rounded rectangle about 9cm long, as shown in Figure 1.

3. Press "Ctrl+t" to pull out the deformation tool, move its deformation center to the center control point on the right side of the warp tool, and hold down the adjustment point in the upper-right corner of the tool to drag the "Ctrl+shift+alt" (Lock center proportional distortion scaling) to the style shown in Figure 2.

4. Hold down the CTRL key and click Layer 1 in the layers panel to call out the chart selection and click Stroke on the Edit menu to select a light green. Use the Ellipse tool to make some holes in the diagram (draw the elliptical selection and then press the DELETE key), and draw a green circular marker in the place where the fan axis is to be made (see Figure 2).

5. Press "Ctrl+t" again, do not change the center of deformation, press and hold "Shift+alt" to reduce the proportion of the fan leaf by half, put in the lower left corner of the document for subsequent operation.

Recording of Actions

1. Open the Action panel, click the "New" button, the pop-up window to set the action name "Shanzi", the function key to "F2", click Enter to prepare recording.

2. Go back to the layers panel, drag the layer 1 to the "New Layer" button to complete the copy of Layer 1.

3. Press "Ctrl+t" to pull out the deformation tool. Move the center of the transformation tool to the green axis of the blade, and then at the top of the argument bar angle "rotate" box to enter 8, if the adjustment out of the leaf and the first leaf of the interval is too large or too small, the appropriate adjustment of this angle value, but it is best to be divisible by 180 to make a symmetrical sector.

4. Back to the action panel, click the "Stop Recording" button to complete this recording. There are two new steps in the action log at this time.

The application of the action

1. Back to the layers panel, press the "F2" key, Photoshop will automatically copy the topmost layer and relative to the copied graphics have a 8 degree deviation.

2. Repeatedly press the "F2" key, but not too fast, continue to replicate the other blades. Until a semicircle fan is produced.

To make it look good, we create a new layer on layer 1, drag it down to layer 1, and use the gradient tool to fill a green and white transition color as the background. The final effect is shown in Figure 3.
