Original artwork Analysis
This photo was taken in the travel, because the evening sky is very beautiful, I put the horizon in the bottom of the screen, to the sky left a very large space, but the picture slightly vague;
So I thought of the previous download brush preset, for the sky to draw some flying migratory bird silhouette; and I found three different ways to make it easier to do the transformation,
Let us enjoy the magic of brush, to see how I do it!
Method use a variety of shape brushes, freehand painting birds
Freehand painting is a clumsy way to make the picture look more realistic, so on the one hand I use more shape brushes to make the screen not repeat, on the other hand, by changing the brush options,
Create a sense of depth. Click on the setting page of the brush, select the brush in the brush tip shape, change the brush size to reflect the depth, and turn on the "spacing" function, using a smear method instead of one time
of the painting. If you want to reach the bird from a distance to the top of the effect, it is recommended to use a larger brush on the side of the screen, but also to pay attention to the spacing value set appropriately; Then, the brush is lowered,
Apply on the other side, and change the angle through the wheel.
Method two uses the shape dynamic choice to create the human character formation
In fact, the brush tool is far more complex than we think, and all you need to do is to dig more of its functionality;
See how to achieve the same realistic effect while simplifying the operation.
If the above method is slightly cumbersome, what is the easier way to do it? We simplify the bird-drawing process by using various options in the Brush tool; this time I just need to use the mouse two times,
You can draw the "man" in the formation of migratory birds. Click on the "Shape dynamic" option to change the control of the size jitter to fade, then enter the value between the maximum and the vanishing, and after I enter 8,
It means that only 8 birds can be drawn in one stroke, and the form of large to small is evenly presented. In addition to this, you need to adjust the spacing to get the right picture proportions.
Think of the path of the brush, click the mouse until the moment the brush disappears, repeat two times, a migratory bird migration of the picture is completed; During the operation, keep in mind that the layer is created to repeat the operation.
