The birth of the Mood Doll (xi doll)

A, Hi Doll

First of all, let's make a happy doll. The doll basically uses the file we just made, adding only a few backgrounds. You can open the BASIC.PSD and save it as a happy.psd, and we'll do the next step in this file.

1. The first step is to shrink the doll first. Link all layers together, zoom to the current 60% size, and move to the lower-right corner of the document. (Figure 05)

Figure 05

2. Select the layer transparence, create a new layer on it 1, select the Ellipse tool, and determine the drawing mode in the tool options as "create Fill Area" and select anti-aliasing options. Set the foreground color to white, hold down the SHIFT key and draw a white circle in the diagram.

Set the background color to RGB (243,213,10), leave the foreground color unchanged, select a linear gradient in the gradient tool, edit the gradient from the foreground to the background color, and load the white-rounded selection, from top left to bottom right gradient.

Swap the color board, set the foreground color is darker orange, RGB value is 243,191, 0 respectively. Select the Stroke command under the Edit menu, the stroke width is 1 px, outside the home, cancel the selection. (Figure 06, in order to make it easier to see, I zoomed in on the illustration)

3. If we think of the content of Layer 1 as a little sun, then we'll make the sun shine. Under Layer 1, create a new layer 2, set the foreground color to just the light yellow, select the line tool in the vector tool, open the information panel, and when you start to draw a line, the information panel will record the information in the line. Tilt the line slowly until the angle in the info panel is 60.0°, which ensures that the line you are drawing is angled at 60 degrees. (Figure 07a)

Copy Layer 2, flip the Layer 2 copy layer horizontally, and then move horizontally so that it intersects the top of the first line, flattening the two links. (Figure 07b)

Figure 07b

Move Layer 2 to the top of the gradient sphere, copy, flip the layer 2 copy vertically, move vertically to the bottom of the sphere, and then flatten the Layer 2 and Layer 2 copy links. (Figure 07c)

Figure 07c

Now copy Layer 2, rotate the layer 2 copy clockwise 90 degrees, copy the Layer 2 copy, rotate the copy 2 45 degrees, copy again, rotate the copy 3 clockwise 90 degrees. The copy layer is all flattened, and now the image is shown in the following illustration. (Figure 07d)

What we're going to do next is fill this octagonal up with a yellow border. Hide the sphere layer first, and you'll see a frame made up of straight lines. Select the Paint Bucket tool, set the tolerance value to 100 in the tool options, select Anti-aliasing and Continuous, then click in each blank space surrounded by a straight line and fill it with yellow until all voids are filled. But there's still a little bit of space left in the line. We can load this layer of the selection and use the shrink command to shrink the selection by 1 pixels and fill it with yellow. Deselect, so you don't see any gaps in the space. (Figure 07e)

4. Create a new layer above layer 1 and draw a yellow rectangle with the rectangle tool. Use the deformation tool to turn it into a trapezoid, then rotate the angle so that it lies between the sun and the doll. (Figure 08a)

Figure 08a

Load the trapezoid selection, and then use the Lasso tool to select part of the doll and part of the sun sphere to add to the selection. Hide the yellow trapezoid layer, create a new layer on it, keep the foreground color unchanged, and set the background color to RGB (255,245,179) this lighter yellow. Select the Gradient tool, from the previous color to the background color, to make a gradient from the top left to the bottom right of the selection, and deselect. (Figure 08b)

Figure 08b

Performs a Gaussian blur filter on Layer 4, with a radius of 20 pixels, which spreads the gradient shape, and then reduces the opacity of the current layer to 50%. Finally, cut off the left and the upper part of the image, add a white background underneath the bottom layer, flatten all the visible layers, delete layer 3, and the Happy doll is done.
