PS hands-on teach you to draw flat wind planet and radar icon

Planet Icon

　　1th Step

First draw a pale yellow circle as the contour of the planet. Using the rectangular tool, many different color squares are drawn above the planet to make them vary in color and width. You can group and rotate the boxes so that they are more realistic.

　　2nd Step

Now let's get rid of the unwanted parts of the box. Select the layer that contains the circle, select the Ellipse tool and right-click on the icon, select "Create a Selection" from the menu that pops up, and click OK in the pop-up dialog box to keep the default options.

Then, select the group that contains the rectangles and click the Layer Mask button underneath the layers panel to hide the unwanted parts.

　　3rd Step

Let's add a little light to our planet. Copy the layer that contains the ellipse and move it to the left and up a bit. Select the two layers and keep the rectangular tool selected, and select the crossover in the top menu bar. Adjust the blending mode to filter and adjust the opacity to 40% so that the left half of the planet has a sense of illumination.

　　4th step

Let's start by adding a star ring. Draw a flat circle and select Subtract, drawing a smaller ring inside the original ring.

We need to remove some of the rings because they should be hidden behind the planets.

Draw an ellipse that covers the upper part of the planet and part of the star ring, which is the part of the circle that we want to hide (in the screenshot, that's The red circle). Also select the layer where the newly created circle is located and the contour of the planet, select the intersecting selection in the right-click menu and form a "lid" on the upper part of the planet.

　　5th step

Right-click on the red layer and select Create selection, select the Select-Flip Selection command.

Then select the layer on which the star ring is located and create a layer mask.

　　6th step

Create a long projection by following the method in the previous tutorial.

Finally, add the little Star, fix it.

　　Radar

　　1th Step

Draw a black circle first.

Well, it doesn't matter what color is, the circle itself won't be shown. Draw a red rectangle on the left, covering half of it. Add a layer mask to cover unwanted parts with a repeatedly described method. OK, now you can erase the black circle.

Fill the lower half of the semicircle with deeper red to make the radar detail more realistic.

　　2nd Step

Let's add an antenna to our radar. First, use the Polygon tool to draw a triangle, then fill it with light gray, scale it, and add a small ball to the top.

　　3rd Step

Let's raise the antenna!

Select all the layers and rotate them. And then do the scaffolding. Now for you, to do such a graphic should not be difficult!

　　4th step

I don't have to say it, long projections and little stars.

Well, now we have radar, rockets and target planets.
