Teach you to draw the effect of the word on the denim

today's tutorial involves a lot of skills, from the layer style to the work path, brush creation, etc. have relevant advanced knowledge, suitable for a certain foundation of the classmate practicing, the process of meticulous and clear, leather word texture full, Monday not lazy.

Final effect:

Two pieces of material, the students can save.

Leather Textures:

Denim Texture:

Open Calf Leather:

And put the denim in, too.

Enter a font for "founder Åöí·" fonts, size of 230 or so, a small point does not matter, the font is also free to choose

To make denim this effect, we need to enlarge the scope of this font, I do not like to use the selection extension. Seems to be a bit distorted, I use another method--layer blending mode of "external glow" is really good! Some people would say why not "stroke"? Strokes can produce hard edges and corners, which are not useful.

Double-click the text layer to open the layer mix, according to the diagram operation does not elaborate, you should pay attention to do not let the outer light-emitting range beyond denim.

Now the word edge is still a bit empty, go to the channel, hide the denim, back to the channel, copy any one color channel, turn on the color gradient. The specific value of their own grasp, so that we can get a smooth edge of the outer contour, reversed phase, CTRL + Left to get the selection back to the layer bar.

Create a new layer underneath the denim and fill in any color.

Click on the denim layer, perform "layer-create clipping mask", or "ctrl+alt+g", or press ALT to move the mouse pointer between the denim layer and the fill layer, and click the left button when an icon points to the arrow icon.

Now let's continue to add the effect to this denim cloth. Double-click the Fill layer to open layer blending mode.

Bevel and Emboss

The outer glow, this I was trying to simulate the dent effect of the pressure on the cowboy cloth sewn on the calf.

Denim is a thickness of things, of course, there will be shadows, do not give too much, a little bit on the line.

Continue to give effect, now is the sunken effect of the suture, CTRL + The left mouse button click on the fill layer to get the selection box, "Select-Modify-shrink." Shrink 16 pixels Inward ~ (although the expansion is not good, the contraction is still very strong)

Back to the path interface, click the "Generate Work path from Selection" button below. We get a path.

Back to the layer, create a new layer on the denim and select a black brush with a size of 3 pixels and a hardness of 0.

Press p to select the Pen tool and right-click the mouse button to select stroke path.

Double-click the stroke layer into layer blending mode and add bevel and emboss effects. Pay attention to where I circled.

Double-click the stroke layer into layer blending mode and add bevel and emboss effects. I circled the place to remind you to notice the change of light.

Create a new 20*100 document and draw a brush with an elliptical tool. I'm going to use this to simulate sutures. Edit-Define brush preset, remember the name of the save time, it is easy to find.

Click the work path in the path bar, go back to the layer, create a new layer above the sunken layer, then preset the brush, press B, click on the Brush preset button, and find this button in several places.

Find the brush, change the angle, size, and spacing.

Shape dynamics It's important here too ~ notice where I circled.

After the preset, select a light-colored foreground color, press p, right-click the mouse button to choose "Stroke path"

Now this stitch doesn't look real, I add a little effect to them, first of all, "bevel and Emboss."

Then there is the shadow, and any visible thing has a shadow.

Temporarily I decided to give him a little color to see see, now looks more acceptable, at least not as flat as before, no texture.

Now I'm going to start imitating the fibers that the denim cut off the edge of the fabric with scissors.

Create a new document to make a brush, if you just have the document is still in the painting directly, with a pixel brush crooked draw a line. Edit-Define brush preset.

It also has a preset operation.

Shape dynamic

Spread

Click on the left mouse button work path to get the path back to the layer, on the fill layer press p, right-click the button to select the stroke path.

Cowboy cloth to come to an ending, the following began to do cowhide text. Point Open the text layer, just now I to his hands and feet, now must recover.

Point open denim, clear layer style.

Copy the bottom cowhide to a layer and pull it onto the text layer ~alt+ctrl+g create a layer mask.

Add Bevel and Emboss

Add Shadow

Cowhide is a shiny material, so there should be a high light place. I use the inner shadow to simulate the high light.

CTRL + the left mouse button click on the text layer to get the selection, shrink 14 pixels. Directly strokes, I give up using the work path, want to speed up.

Gauss Blur 3.0, add bevel and Emboss:

Change the copied stroke layer padding to a lower size.

This selection is converted to a path, creating a new layer of stitching on the sunken layer.

Some of the methods mentioned earlier, I will not be described in detail later.

Find the stitching brush you just used, and if you save it, you don't have to set it from scratch.

Press p to select a light foreground color, right-click the mouse to choose a stroke path
