Photoshop to make realistic ink painting

Photoshop produces realistic ink-wash effects, graphic tutorials

The "ink texture" finishes as shown in Figure 01, figure 02, Figure 03, as shown in Figure 04.

First, the rendering of halo dyeing effect

(1) Line "file \ New" menu command, set the file "width" of 800 pixels, "height" of 800 pixels, "resolution" of 72 pixels, "background content" is "white", the name is "Chinese Wind", as shown in Figure 05.

Figure 05 New File

(2) Click the "Brush Tool" above the toolbox, set the brush to size 100 pixels, mode to "normal", "opacity" and "flow" to 80%, open the Brush drop-down menu in the Options bar, and select the thick-edged round pen brush, as shown in Figure 06.

(3) Create a new layer 1, gray as the foreground color, and use the brush tool to draw an irregular line horizontally at the top of the canvas, as shown in Figure 07.

Figure 07 drawing at the top of the canvas

(4) Continue to draw in the canvas, add a number of different lengths of the line effect, forming ink on paper halo dyeing effect, as shown in Figure 08.

Figure 08 The brush continues to draw

(5) Set the front color to black, the upper part of the color, drawn as black, to form the upper colors to the lower color of the effect, as shown in Figure 09.

Figure 0 9 The upper part is drawn as black

(6) Execute the "filter \ Other \ Offset" menu command, "Horizontal" set to 400 pixels to the right, because the canvas size is set to 800 pixels, horizontal displacement 400 pixels, the canvas at both ends of the position moved to the middle of the canvas, as shown in Figure 10.

(7) Continue to use the "brush tool", the middle of the seam position to draw a natural connection, as shown in Figure 11.

Tip: Use the "offset" filter to move and brush draw joints, in order to be in the back of the polar coordinates filter operation without a stiff connection, is actually in the production of seamless jigsaw.

Second, the production of dots effect

(1) Execute the "filter \ Warp \ Polar coordinates" menu command, pop-up "Polar coordinates" dialog box, select "Plane coordinates to polar coordinates" as shown in Figure 12.

(2) Drag "Layer 1" to "Create new Layer" button, copy "Layer 1 copy", perform "edit \ Free Transform" menu command, resize and position, press ENTER to perform operation, as shown in Figure 13.

Figure 13 Copying layers

(3) Continue to drag "Layer 1" to the "Create new Layer" button, copy "Layer 1 copy 2", perform "edit \ Free Transform" menu commands, resize and position to enrich the composition of the picture, you can continue to copy the free transform, add some dots effect, as shown in Figure 14.

Figure 14 Continue copying layers

(4) The "Layer blending mode" adjustment for all dots layers, changing the layer's "blending mode" to "multiply" to make it better blend with the following layers, as shown in Figure 15.

Figure 15 Changing "layer blending mode"

(6) To reduce the opacity of the dots layer, each layer "opacity" to reduce the number of each layer of the parameters can be different sizes to form a natural effect, as shown in Figure 16.

Figure 16 Reducing "opacity" separately

(7) first to the largest dots operation, back to "Layer 1", the implementation of the "filter \ Blur \ Radial blur" menu command, "fuzzy mode" for "Zoom", "Quantity" is 10, as shown in Figure 17.

Figure 17 executing the filter \ blur \ radial Blur menu command

(8) Perform the action on the previous layer by performing the filter \ Radial Blur menu command (last with the value filter) or by pressing the CTRL+F key combination, as shown in Figure 18.

(9) Because the size of the dots, in the implementation of the same value filter, the effect is too prominent, you can perform the "Edit \ Fade" menu commands to fade some effect, so that the effect is real, as shown in Figure 19.

Figure 19 performing the Edit \ Fade menu command

(10) for dots coloring processing, perform "image \ Adjust \ Hue saturation" menu command, in the Hue Saturation dialog box that pops up, check the shading option to adjust the hue "saturation" adjustment slider, adjust the color to the color you want, and add a different color depending on the purpose. As shown in Figure 20.

Figure 20 for dots coloring processing

(11) For all dots coloring processing, the color of the dots can be slightly different, so that the effect according to the real sense, the new "group 1", the completed dots placed in the "group 1", complete dots operations, as shown in Figure 21.

Third, the production of ink ring effect

(1) The following to make an ink ring effect, new "Layer 2", the gray brush in the middle of the line to draw a straight, forming a halo effect, as shown in Figure 22.

Figure 22 The brush draws a line in the middle position

(2) Change the foreground color to black, continue to draw the middle part, form the excessive effect, the left part forms the round head effect, the right part forms the slightly pointed effect, as shown in Figure 23.

Figure 23 Continue drawing the middle section

(3) Execute "filter \ Warp \ Polar coordinates" menu command, pop-up "Polar coordinates" dialog box, select "Plane coordinates to polar coordinates", as shown in Figure 24.

Figure 24 performing the filter \ Warp \ Polar coordinates menu command

(4) Execute the Edit \ Free Transform menu command, resize and position to fit the perspective relationship, and press ENTER to perform the action, as shown in Figure 25.

Figure 25 performing the edit \ Free Transform menu command

(5) Execute the "filter \ Blur \ Radial blur" menu command, "blur mode" to "Zoom", "Quantity" is 5 (as shown in Figure 26), complete the pen ring effect of the production, as shown in Figure 27.

Figure 27

Four, the application of ink texture

(1) Perform the "Filter \ other \ min" menu command on the ring pen effect, and the radius is 10 pixels (as shown in Figure 28) to reduce its width to fit the needs of the production, as shown in Figure 29.

Figure 28 Performing the minimum command

Figure 29

(2) to "Group 1" executive "edit \ Free Transform" menu commands, resize and position, meet the needs of the composition, press the ENTER key to perform operations, as shown in Figure 30.

Figure 30 Free Transform

(3) Import a background material, or create a favorite background, as shown in Figure 31.

Figure 31 Importing backgrounds

(4) Execute the "file \ Open" menu command and open the "footage" picture, as shown in Figure 32.

Figure 32 Opening a file

(5) and drag the "material" file into the "ink texture" file, placed in the "Group 1" Layer 10 main dots, and create it as a clipping mask, only the next layer of pixels, as shown in Figure 33.

Figure 33 Creating a clipping mask

(6) Add some material to decorate the picture, to this, "the ink Texture" the application effect of the production of all completed, the completion of the effect and layer distribution as shown in Figure 34.
