Photoshop mouse painting cartoon yellow bird tutorial details

We will give you a detailed analysis of the Photoshop software and share the tutorials on mouse cartoon Yellow Birds.

Tutorial sharing:

I. Body

1. Create a document named 800X800px.

Use the pen tool in the toolbar and press the picture to show half of the bird's body (the color is random). Note that the control lines of A and B must be kept horizontally (as shown below ), this is for the next image merge.

 

2. Copy the image, execute Ctrl + T (the mac user is the Command), right-click and select "horizontal image ". Then select the left and right sides to execute Ctrl + E and merge them.

3. Select "path selection tool", select the merged shape, and execute "merge shape component ". As shown in the following figure, the two of them form a shape rather than a separate component.

 

4. On the layer panel, double-click the layer and perform "gradient fill". The settings are shown in the figure.

 

5. Convert the shape to a smart object. Execute "filter-add Miscellaneous" and set it as shown in the figure.

 

6. Continue to apply "filter-Blur-radial blur" to this layer, as shown in the following figure.

 

7. Continue to apply "filter-sharpen" to this layer, as shown in the following figure.

 

8. Raster the layer and execute "Ctrl + U" to adjust the color saturation, as shown in the following figure (the values here mainly depend on your liking, so you don't have to be completely safe with my parameters ~).

 

9. Then we need to make a small fluffy margin. Use the "fingertip smear tool" and set the paint brush as we just painted. Patience expands edges along the shape. This step is critical and must be patient. As shown in the following figure.

 

10. Select a deeper approximate color for the new layer, apply the dark part with the paint brush, and set the blending mode to "stacked front ", then, the "cut mask" is used to nest it into the following body layers to further enhance the stereoscopic effect. As shown in the following figure.

 

11. Create a new layer, use the "elliptical tool" to draw a white elliptical shape, and set the mixed mode to "Soft Light" as its minor belly.

 

12. Copy the belly you just made, add a mask to the layer, set the foreground color to black, and erase the lower half with a paint brush. So the three-dimensional sense of the little belly immediately came out. Finally, these two layers are nested into the layers of the following body. As shown in the following figure.

 

13. Next we will draw the feathers on top of our head. The thought is actually similar to the hair on our body. As shown in the following figure:

1. Use a pen tool to draw the basic shape;

2. Copy it, then blur it with Gauss and place it under the shape layer;

3. Raster the shape drawn by the pen, and patiently smear the feather texture in the direction of the hair with the fingertip smear tool;

4. Create a new layer. Use the paint brush tool to select a hair brush and gently draw it between the hair and the body.

 

The body is basically completed, and the overall effect is as follows.

 

2. Wings

The painting of wings is basically the same as that of the body.

Use the pen tool to draw the basic shape and set the layer style as shown in the following figure;

Convert shape to smart object-add noise-radial blur-sharpen

After raster, use a smear tool to patiently smear feathers in the shape of wings.

Create a new layer, use a paint brush tool to draw the bright area of the wings, and use a cut mask to nest the layer in the coated layer.

 

 

After completing this part ~ The cute little wings appear like this.

 

III. Ankle

Because my ankle is a lot blocked by a drum belly, I am so lazy that I have not fully painted my ankle. It is not important here, so there is no need to spend too much energy. You only need a simple layer style.

 

Okay ~ This is the current effect.

 

IV. Shadow

There are many ways to create a shadow. You can directly draw an elliptical shape to fill in a slightly heavier approximate color. You can also directly draw a circle, Gaussian blur, and use Ctrl + T to change the shape and size. Due to limited space, I will not talk too much here (because it is too simple ~ It must be hard for you ~).

So, the current effect is like this ~ Is there a sense of weight.

 

5. Eyes

The eyes are usually the eyes of a painting. With the eyes, there is a story. So we need to spend a little more energy on our eyes.

1. Use an elliptical tool to draw a circle, and then use a direct selection tool to adjust it as shown in the figure.

 

2. Add a layer style to the circle, including the outer stroke, inner shadow, gradient fill, and shadow. The specific settings are shown in the figure.

 

 

3. The eye White is complete ~ Next, draw the inner pupil. Use an elliptical tool to draw a circle and add a layer style. The parameters are as follows.

 

 

4. Draw another positive circle and add a layer style, as shown in the figure.

 

5. The texture inside the eyes. Create two rectangles, fill them with # 45270b, and rotate them 360 °. Add a mask and emit a gradient (external virtual reality ). Finally, select the hybrid mode as overlay. Place the texture layer under the black pupil layer, as shown in the figure.

 

 

6. Draw two positive circles respectively for highlight and reflection, so that the eyes will suddenly become God.

 

7. To increase the transparency of the eyes, create a new layer and draw a circle of slightly smaller size as indicated by the arrow in the following figure. Fill in white and add a mask to erase the upper part. Finally, set the hybrid mode to overlay.

 

8. Copy the circle in the white part of the eye, zoom in, add a layer style, make it have a feeling of the eye, and then "filter-Gaussian blur ". Finally, use the "smear tool" to select the hair brush to patiently smear the hair around the eyes ~ It's done with one eye! As shown in the following figure.

 

9. Adjust the shape of the right eye slightly ~ The style can basically copy the left eye ~ This completes the eye part ~ More and more cute.

 

6. Mouth

The mouth belongs to the five senses, which are relatively eye-catching, so it cannot be sloppy ~

1. Draw an ellipse and adjust the node through "direct selection tool" until the shape of a mouth is adjusted. The same is true for Zhangkou. As shown in the following figure.

 

2. Add a layer style to the mouth shape, as shown in the figure.

 

3. Further depict the mouth and enhance the stereoscopy. As shown in the following figure:

1. Draw an elliptical shape above the mouth shape;

2. Feathers, with a value of 7;

3-4. Raster, select the right, and delete

5. Add a reflection on the right side.

 

4. Draw a rectangle and fill it in white. Set the blending mode to "overlay", reduce the transparency of the layer to 55%, and erase the upper and lower parts using the mask. In this way, the shape and structure of the mouth are more obvious, as shown in the following figure.

 

5. Draw an open mouth and add a layer style, as shown in the following figure.

 

6. Till now, the overall effect has basically come out! Is it cute.

 

7. Adjust details

The details are adjusted to make the output more refined. For example, you can adjust the color purity to make it look more human; you can also add the background; or change the color or something.

Next I will add a background.
