Super-detailed illustration tutorial

Hello everyone, I am very happy to share with you the creation process of the two little Bai Zhenchuan works. This time I want to create two fantastic works-heaven believers and the messenger of hell. A believer in heaven is an upright person after his death, and his soul will enter the heaven where God lives to become an angel. This is a symbol of peace and purity. After the death of the wicked, the messenger of hell will be judged by God, it becomes a devil in hell, a symbol of despair and evil. For such a broad topic, it can make us feel very happy to reveal our inspiration on the screen, relax ourselves, write your pen, and draw different colors and different pen styles, create an unlimited illustration. Okay, let's start creating.
Let's take a look at the two completed graphs:

Heaven believers


Hell messenger

Heaven believers
1. Create a New A4 paper with a resolution of 300. I want to draw a gloomy Angel. I should have painted a cheerful expression, but I have drawn a melancholy because the girl had a sad story before her death. Pigeons are peaceful (this article is collected and organized by dongfei, an animation-name instructor. This article focuses on the public account of Dong Fei, an animation-name instructor, and pushes the classic learning resources daily-the public account: meatooman, lily is a pure symbol. I hope these pictures show a kind of strength, a comparison, and a kind of beauty in my feelings. When drawing a sketch, try not to let yourself into the details too early. You can draw a picture freely first, and draw the original idea as much as possible to keep the picture fresh.

2. Line Drawing. This is a key step. The structure and shape outlined by the lines determine whether the entire painting is readable. A smooth line is essentially a stroke. Pay attention to the variation of the line width. You need to draw a rough drawing several times at the turning point and joint position, if it is a flower or clothing texture of these more soft items, in the use of online both light and thickness change. Save the image as a PSD file.

3. Skin coloring. The software I used is photoshopcs3. The line draft attribute is the front slice, and another skin layer is created under the online draft, which is used to draw the line of the body with a cable set tool, then, use a paint bucket to paint the skin area with color. It does not matter if it is painted out of the draft. After the painting, wipe the useless and covered area, for example, [Skin Figure 1 ].
Although the skin is basically painted out, I am still not satisfied with the color of the skin, I always feel that there is no vitality, too yellow, the skin is still shining better. (This article is collected by the famous animation Teacher Dong Fei, paying attention to the Public Account of the famous animation Teacher Dong Fei, and pushing the classic learning resources daily --- public account: meatooman) therefore, you can use "color balance" to adjust the color you are satisfied with. After the adjustment, you can create another layer on the basic layer of the skin. The new layer attribute is changed to the front layer and front layer, use the opacity paint brush of the spray gun pen on the 19th to pad the color of the area to be deepened to make the shadow effect, the effect is as shown in [Skin Figure 2 ].

Figure 3

4. after roughly drawing the relationship between light and shade, we began to portray the details and draw images based on the colors we thought. The purpose was to show the structure slowly with colors and then use the smear tool to fade the strokes, the effect is shown in Skin Figure 5 ]. Take a closer look, the skin saturation in [skin Graph 5] is a little high, and the "color/saturation" is used again to reduce it. The effect is shown in [skin graph 6 ].

5. The eyes must be bright to attract people. First, draw the green eyes you like, and then draw the pupil with an opaque brush in the spray gun pen on the 19th. The effect is like [eye 4 ]. Continue to use the deepening tool to set it as "Middle", deepen the edge line and pupil, the effect is as shown in [eye 5 ].

Figure 5

6. Use the smear tool to scatter the pupil, and gradually expand the pupil. The effect is shown in figure 7 ]. Then, use a deepening tool to gently deepen the edge line and pupil. The effect is shown in figure 8 ]. The next step is to use an opaque paint brush with a spray gun pen to paint the highlights, and then blur it with a blur tool to present a feeling of water spirit. The effect is shown in Figure 9 of the eyes ]. Finally, use the "color phase/saturation" to increase the value, so that the entire eye looks bright, and the effect is as shown in Figure 10 ].

Figure 6

7. The nose is the most volatile part of the face, which produces a strong variation in brightness and shade of the face. Paint the Nose Part with an opaque brush pen on the 19th. The nose is like a sphere, and the other nose is like a hemisphere. Do not overemphasize the changes when painting, in case your eyes are weakened. The bottom part of the nose is strongly compared to the other parts of the nose after being illuminated. When you portray the image, pay attention to the variation of its brightness, brightness, and deficiency. The final effect is shown in Figure 5 ].

8. Lips are one of the most difficult parts of the five senses. I am not very familiar with them yet. I can only look ugly first. Use a brush to draw out the shape of the lips. The effect is as shown in [Lip Graph 2 ]. Then draw the structure of the lip print, sketch the key parts such as the lower lip line, the lips should be gentle and even, and finally deepen the details, the effect is as shown in [Lip graph 4 ].

10. Hair is much simpler than skin. First, use the paint brush on the 19th to draw the part that you want to deepen with an opaque pen. This is based on your own feeling. Because the edge of the paint brush is very blurred, after the painting, then, select the plug-in tool for Edge trimming. The effect is shown in hair graph 3 ].

11. Use the paint brush again to lighten your head to increase the stereoscopic effect. Follow the hair to draw a fine image, use the smear tool to pick up the bright and dark hair, draw and wipe out the hair texture, the effect is as shown in [Hair figure 4 ]. At last, adjust the color phase/saturation, and the effect is shown in Figure 5 ]. In this way, the hair is ready, isn't it easy?

Figure 11

12. The folds of the clothes should show the feeling of falling down. Use the non-transparent brush pen on the 19th to draw a gentle V-shaped dark and dark part. The effect is shown in figure 3 ]. However, it was a little stiff, and some strokes were diluted with the smear tool. The effect was shown in Figure 4 ].

Figure 12-2

13. Use the deepening tool to wipe the dark area, and the lightening tool to wipe the bright area. Because the satin of this dress is slippery, you need to increase the contrast of brightness. The effect is shown in Figure 5 ]. When the blue dress looks a little bright, use the "color/saturation" to adjust it to white. White is a symbol of angels. After that, we processed the details to make the white dress look more natural and soft, with a sense of space. The effect was shown in figure 6 ].

24. The attribute of the devil's line draft layer is the stacked bottom of the main film. Drag the previous Angel layer to the layer of the devil's line draft. Hair, clothes, skin, and eyes do not need to be repeatedly painted, you can directly use "color balance", "color level", "color phase/saturation" to adjust to the appropriate degree. Based on the desired results, you must patiently debug the program until you are satisfied.
