Teach you to use PS to draw beautiful evergreen font effects

Our Ultimate effect:

To create a new document, here I use 3000*1600 pixels, you can do it randomly, use the gradient tool to make a gradient background and add dot noise.

Use the Pen tool to draw an evergreen tree with the following figure. The picture below is the evergreen branch we painted with a pen, and all of our operations down here will be based on this branch to deform.

When using control variants, I recommend that you convert to smart objects first, because under the smart object, the manipulation is rendered in the form of a smart filter, which is beneficial to our modifications.

The position of the control deformation is "edit-manipulate distortion". After manipulating the warp, we can see the following items in the menu containing the distorted control.

Let's explain the effects of the options below.

First is the first option, the pattern. From the drop down menu, we can see that the pattern is rigid, normal, and distorted in three modes. Let's look at the difference between them by following the picture.

or the evergreen branch, I performed the manipulative deformation. The above three figures are three modes, the figure is not selected, Normal mode and rigid mode see no difference, gather and see. Normal mode is the default mode, normal deformation, soft transition, and rigid mode, meaning that the deformation will be more hard, the transition will not be so soft, after all, to man some. The last one, twist mode, this mode is more suitable for correction, in the deformation of the same time will produce some perspective effects.

Next, is the concentration. The attempt also has three options, less, more normal, more points. This, I believe no one will understand it. Less, normal, more points of the difference is the size of the grid, the size of the grid determines the number of pins can be added, the more points, the better the higher accuracy.

To extend this option, the default is 2 pixels, which is used to set the expansion or contraction of the transformation area of the effect, that is, the outer edge of the grid, the larger the number, the more smooth the edge of the deformation.

Show the grid, this is nothing to say, the tick will show the grid, do not check the display.

The push-pin depth is used to set Pushpin attempts, so that the Pushpin moves up or down the stacking order to solve the overlapping problem, somewhat similar to the shape arrangement in the shape.

The rotation has two options to choose from, automatic and fixed. Automatically refers to when we drag a Pushpin to distort the image, PS automatically rotate the image processing. The fixed point is that we control the angle of rotation ourselves. Can be so understood, one is intelligent processing, one is manual processing.

Pushpin attempts and rotation options, screenshots are also difficult to explain, you understand it.

Next, we'll introduce a few tricks for manipulating deformation operations.

Similarly, three Pushpin above is also based on this principle, do not understand the do-it-yourself toss, you will understand.

OK, below, let's start the actual combat of this evergreen tree text.

In fact, there is no technical content, is a physical life, through the continuous copying, manipulation deformation, and then into a text, we can use a text layer under the branches, followed by ready-made words to do, it will be faster.

After the physical work, which is similar to moving bricks, we get the following figure:

I stamped all the text layers (excluding backgrounds, text only), performed a high contrast retention filter, set the layer blending mode to overlay, and made the leaves look more lifelike.

Once again stamped (excluding the background) get a layer of pure leaf text, adding an inner shadow and a projection.

It's done, look at our effect.

Written in the back:

1, today's operation, is not particularly suitable for the interpretation of control deformation, with similar rope text effects to explain, the effect will be better.

2, manipulation of the application of deformation can also say a lot, such as partial thin face, simple to change the character shape, adjust the body posture, or the image of fine-tuning and so on.

3, finally add a little Christmas decoration items, I believe the effect will be better.
