The tutorial to three friends to introduce PS digital painting ten sharp weapons, I believe this tutorial will be to learn PS mouse painting friends by a great help.

The popular story of digital painting is the use of computer painting. By using the corresponding computer software and digital drawing tools on the computer to create the product. With the popularization and development of computer, software and related drawing tools, the use of artificial and intelligent digital painting and digital painting technology has been recognized and mastered by people. The following is an exercise I drew with psCS5 on the Wacombamboo Digital board, so let's look at what powerful PS software does in hand-drawn tools.

(i) Flip canvas

Figure 1

Traditional painting in order to check some of the mistakes in the painting often take a small mirror to flip the screen view, using the flip screen to check the principle of deviation is also used in digital painting

Menus: image-Image rotation-horizontal flip Canvas

Tip: Because it is often best to set shortcut keys, alt+shift+ctrl+k edit shortcut keys, my settings for F5 horizontal flip, F6 vertical Flip, in addition to the layer can be set to a separate layer of the flip

(ii) Arranging Windows

Figure 2

Digital painting often need to depict the details at the same time to take into account the overall picture, in magnifying the picture details can be seen at the same time the small picture of synchronization,

Menus: Windows-Arrange-create a new window for 20111102-fat paper-step01.psd

Tip: In addition to arranging the window to observe the whole method, zoom in and out of the canvas or take a few steps to see the screen is often used, because a long time staring at the screen will cause eye fatigue and loss of some correct judgment

(iii) curves, color bands

Figure 3

Curves and color-level tools are used to change the color order relationship, which is to change the composition of black, gray and white in the sketch, often used to enhance the contrast

Shortcut keys: curve ctrl+m Color Order ctrl+l

Tip: Learn to see the color level histogram can easily see the relationship between the black and white gray in sketch relations, generally pure white will not account for the entire picture of One-third, the other is mostly gray tone, but this rule is not absolute, here I use the curve to adjust it to the S curve to enhance the contrast of the picture

(iv) Layer mode

Figure 4

PS has a very powerful layer blending mode, a total of more than 20 models can be adjusted to the ever-changing image, the most commonly used mode is a positive stack, overlay, soft light, and so on, various patterns grouped according to a certain rule, here limited to space no longer specifically describe the characteristics of each group, not clear to see some of the PS related books

Tip: Here I create a new layer in Black-and-white sketch, the pattern is superimposed, simple to spread a general tone, so that the main purpose of coloring is to correctly grasp the relationship between the sketch, the other superimposed layer can add color saturation

(v) Color balance

Figure 5

PS Palette tool is a very good tool, you can adjust a very rich color, and the color of the harmonious unification of a certain role

Shortcut keys: ctrl+b

Tip: The tool can be very convenient to pull out the color of the warm and cold relations, such as here I add a large number of red tone, so that the screen looks like a very strong taste, color relationship lies in the color of the painting, understanding the color of the relationship to adjust the color trend is to express the picture of

(vi) Deformation tools

Figure 6

When you've been drawing for hours, you're tired. Go out for a rest and then come back to see your painting, often find many proportions or shape problems, in traditional painting this may be irreparable error, and digital painting in addition to Ctrl+z undo operation also provides a lot of modification tools, such as liquefaction filters and deformation tools

Accelerator key: Deformed ctrl+t liquefaction filter shift+ctrl+x

Hint: Here I find the hand of the character is small, then use the lasso to select a general range of the left hand, create a selection and then ctrl+j a new layer, ctrl+t hold down shift to pull the diagonal, enlarge the left hand, perhaps you will find that the left hand should not be so large and not in line with the perspective, I would say that this is not a picture, But the artist conveys a kind of atmosphere, in my opinion the hand is too small not imposing, sometimes accurate perspective is not the best, exercise oneself to the whole picture of the control is more sensible choice

Figure 6.1

Figure 6.2

The liquefaction filter is not only used to modify shape errors, but also is often used to change the shape as a quick design tool, Figure 6.1-2 is the master singer Miller Quick Design Fun little fish image

Seven ALT key Take color pixel lock

This is probably the most common tool for digital painting, smooth transition color, hand-painted gradient essential tools

PS inside the composition of the screen is pixel, select the lock transparent pixel, you can lock the pixel part, so don't worry about drawing to the shape outside

Tip: Hold down the ALT key to the screen to take color, with digital pen pressure can easily and quickly create a rich color relationship

(eight) Custom brushes

Figure 8

Custom brushes not only improve the speed of painting, but also create some unexpected effects. It can be used in many types of scenes, brushes can be used as shapes, textures, effects, etc., there are very many excellent brushes on the Internet

Hint: In this picture I want to embody some texture and rough strokes, with some kind of pencil-like texture brush and particle spray brush

(ix) Dodge deepening tool

Figure 9

Dodge Tool A color dodge pattern similar to a layer that produces a sense of light that is often used to draw the high light of a metal object.

Hint: Select the Dodge Tool Range: Highlight to draw the high light of the knife

(10) Hue/saturation

Figure 10

Shortcut keys: ctrl+u

Tip: I often use this tool to adjust the relationship between hue and lightness, or create a new layer of hue/saturation adjustment layer, the saturation to the left, so as to facilitate the inspection of the sketch relationship between the paint is correct

Figure 11

These 10 kinds of tools have no fixed order of use, in the painting of each link can be used, PS painting there are many other effective tools, of course, the sharp weapon is also a tool, is the painting of the understanding of the use, and there is no omnipotent tools, only people who know how to use them to make it into a tool in the painting, Thank you for watching this tutorial, and welcome to comment and Exchange
