Photoshop makes fine lightning weather icons

The production is very simple, the first analysis of the composition, and then from the background to create, with the shape of the path to make clouds, lightning, rain, etc. and then use the layer style with relief and gradient, local rendering some color can be.

Final effect

1, the background fill gradient as the figure, and then spend the size of the round rectangle, appropriate on the line.

2, the layer style is a radial gradient, gradually changing color as shown (oneself see adjust).

3, Draw the shadow, with the Ellipse tool in the bottom of the icon to draw a shape such as the figure of the ellipse, in the property panel feather, the effect as shown. Then create the layer mask to rub out the extra parts.

4, the Ellipse tool as above the picture on the first layer of clouds shadow black, opacity is 12%.

5, Ctrl + J copy a layer of clouds move, layer style: bevel and relief, gradient overlay on the shallow lower depth are gray. The lower color is a bit deeper to make the upper cloud have three-dimensional sense.

6, duplicate a cloud, Ctrl + J do not layer style, color fill as figure. And so the proportion of narrowing, the lower layer of the three-dimensional side exposed to be able to.

7, the same way to do a layer of small clouds, color fill, layer style, such as figure. Then copy a layer to enlarge it and put it in the shadow below.

8, the use of polygons to draw lightning, two of deformed triangles, of course, you can also pen tool painting themselves. The bottom lightning has a slightly lower color purity. Duplicate a layer filled with a higher saturation of lemon color, using the layer mask to erase the upper part of the Lightning.

9, fill color as pictured, in the lightning layer of small clouds under the ellipse, using the property panel to feather the ellipse, the pattern is superimposed, the effect is as shown.
