PS teaches you to synthesize cool superhero movie posters

If you do not understand the place can always leave a message.

　First, the analysis of ideas

First we collected some movie posters about superheroes, and analyzed the characteristics of these posters, and we concluded that such posters generally included 8 elements: weapons, buildings, flames or explosions, raindrops, smoke or clouds, splashes of debris, sparks, and light effects. And each poster includes at least 5 of them. The figure below is already marked.

Second, the collection of material

The material used in this tutorial we chose a female model with a gun, a construction picture, a burning flame, sparks and smoke brushes, produced by ourselves later in the light effect.

　　Third, the beginning of the tutorial

First, introduce the specific content of this tutorial, divided into 4 parts, the first part of the composition of the scene, the second part of the characters, the third part of the light effect of the pistol production, Part IV sparks and light effect of the production.

1. Background synthesis

First, create a new file, import the building and flame pictures into Photoshop, add a mask to the flame layer, and use a black brush to erase the unwanted parts.

Stamped layer (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E), performs filters > Blur > Axis blur on new stamped layers. The location is as follows:

The axis-shifting blur parameters are as follows:

This step of the effect diagram:

Create a new layer, download and install the crumb brush, select a brush, set the foreground color to white, and draw a white splash of debris with the brush in place on the diagram. and reduce layer opacity.

The foreground color is set to black, with the brush in the position of the diagram to draw the black debris.

Create a new layer, draw the color of the flame with the eyedropper, and reduce the opacity of the brush to apply color to the buildings around the flame. Put all of the above layers in one group, and the named group is background.

2, the introduction of character pictures and background integration

Import model pictures, free transform (ctrl+t) resizing and perspective.

For people to add ambient light effects, because we want to add red and blue light effect on the pistol, we should pay attention to the effects of these light on the characters. This technique is used in many of the tutorials you have set up.

New layer, blending mode to color, select Brush tool, reduce opacity, eyedropper draw flame color, apply brush to right side of character.

The new layer, blending mode is color, the foreground color is set to light blue, reduces the brush opacity, smear on the left cheek, neck, left arm, and right leg of the character.

New layer, blending mode is color, foreground color set to red, reduce brush opacity, draw some red light on the lower left leg.

Alt-click between the environment color layer and the character layer to select the characters as a selection and divide the layers into one group. As shown in figure:
