Teach you step-by-step to paint bamboo with fireworks

This morning, when brushing teeth with bamboo salt toothpaste, found the bamboo on the package is very good-looking ~ to work when there is nothing to try to do a bamboo. However, the feeling that some places still do not achieve the desired effect, we can exchange good views.

Here is the first place to note: The author feels that the most important part of bamboo is the joint part (2 pieces of bamboo joints) This is also the characteristics of bamboo, there is bamboo section, similar to filamentous texture.

1, first draw a 27*105 rectangle (numerical approximation can be), and then adjust the four-legged node, so that the middle of the rectangular position to concave.

2, plus gradient, because I want to do the effect is not the kind of very real bamboo effect, so the color is lighter; and just a simple gradient: #009000 #00cc00

3, in the deformation of the rectangle add some 105 high vertical lines, pay attention to the spacing if not the same, used to make bamboo silk on the feeling. Darker color: #006600 lens is tuned to 20.

4. This step is used to add shading to the upper and lower edges of bamboo, which is used to highlight the joints between bamboo segments; at the top edge of the section to draw a long 10-pixel segment, color #006600, Gaussian blur 1;

5, this step and the previous step is basically the same, but is at the bottom edge of the section to draw a long 10-pixel segment, color #ffffff, Gaussian blur 1;

6, to this step of the bamboo section has been completed, the full selection of ctrl+g, and then copy a bamboo section, so that it and the first bamboo segment, but to leave a pixel gap, in this gap filled with a line segment, color #006600, transparency 30%.

7, this step to make bamboo leaves: Draw a width of 35 high 8 ellipse, delete the top and bottom 2 nodes, adjust the node on the right, so that the left tip of the graph right wide;

8, to the bamboo leaf plus the inside glow, color #ccff00, and finally in the bamboo leaves on the right to draw a white horizontal line, Gaussian blur 0.7, transparency 60;

9, the basic elements are completed, the following is placed, here is not specifically said, we can be free. However, there are a number of places to note: The size of bamboo leaves can not be the same, to be appropriate to adjust to make it different, when the bamboo is placed to stagger up and down, it looks natural, and so on.
