The method of hand-painted style in the later class free of charge

First look at a few pictures:

First to introduce a few plug-ins, the following can be used:

1, Knoll Light Factory

A plug-in used to create light effects.

2, Red Giant toonit

Used to make a quick copy of a line.

3, Star Filter Pro 2

Used to simulate scattered light and reflect light.

　　4, Star Spikes Pro 2

Used to simulate the star-mount, Rainbow Light.

5. Alien Skin Snap Art 4

Used to adjust details, canvas, and textures.

6, Alien Skin bokeh 2

Used to simulate the depth of an effect.

Imitation is always imitation, we just go to catch some typical features, but not out of these typical characteristics it is no longer it.

The features of the screen are:

1, the overall picture details are relatively rich.

2, the color changes frequently, the hue is rich.

3, cyan tones occupy a certain space, often with the purple color matching.

4, the screen has a wealth of lens effects, such as star, scattering light, lens halo, depth of the effect.

That requires us to be late:

1, reduce the contrast of the screen, as far as possible to retain the details of the picture.

2, to ensure that the screen color rich, and saturation can not be too low.

3, the use of curve tools to adjust cyan and purple.

4, the use of plug-ins to create a variety of lens effects.

Our operating procedures are:

1, hit the bottom

Restore the details of the original piece.

2, outline

Through a variety of means to show the image of animation texture.

3, Color

Adjust the overall color of the picture.

4. Light Effect

Add various lens effects to the screen

5. Polishing

Make the final touches as needed.

Of course, this step is not completely fixed, you can adjust the order according to your needs.

Let's open a picture first:

Let's start with the first step: bottom.

Import, parameters such as figure:

Explain the meaning of these parameters:

Temperature: Lower temperature, so that the picture is cold.

Gamma value: Increases gamma value to increase the brightness of the screen while maintaining the details.

Contrast: Reducing contrast makes the details of the screen richer.

Highlights/White levels: These two parameters are the effect of the brighter part of the screen, the difference is that the white color scale has a greater impact.

The specific parameter selection according to the screen needs to choose.

The overall principle is to make the details of the picture richer.

We're here to increase the high light/white color levels,

Shadow/Black levels: These two parameters are affected by the darker part of the screen, the difference is that the black level of the impact of a larger range.

The specific parameter selection according to the screen needs to choose.

The overall principle is to make the details of the picture richer, and in general we need to increase the shadow/black color order.

The specific parameter selection according to the screen needs to choose.

Sharpness and sharpness: These two parameters can make the edges of the screen more obvious, and thus more line sense.

Sharpness and sharpness of the difference: sharpness is at the edge of a very thin line, the effect is more delicate.

The sharpness of the lines is thicker, in general, we need to improve the clarity of the overall enhancement, and then use sharpness for detail adjustment.

Screen effect as shown:

Then we'll adjust the two channel curves:

The meaning of this curve is to enhance the expression of green in the screen.

This curve is meant to enhance the blue expression in the screen.

Screen effect as shown:

By this step, our bottom job is done.

And then we'll sketch it out.

We first use red Giant toonit:

This plug-in's adjustable parameters are very rich, we request the effect is relatively simple, I will not start speaking.

To get a new layer, we change the blending mode to multiply, and the opacity to 8%:

The main purpose of this step is to enhance the contour of the picture, as well as the picture has a sense of painting strokes.

Stamped layers, using filters: Woodcut

Parameters as shown:

Get a new layer and set the opacity to 44%:

The main purpose of this step is to further enhance the image of the stroke sense.

And then our next step is: Change the sky.

Why do we have to change the sky?

Changing the sky is one of the more important points of this kind of later technique.

Instead of the real hand-painted sky, you can actively guide the visual sense of the viewer to move closer to the animation, so as to enhance the overall picture of the animation feeling.

We do it casually, not very fine:

The outline of this step is basically done.

This time we will adjust the color.

Because we have already used the curve to adjust before, so there are few places to adjust now:

We still pull a few curves:

The use of the curve is very rich, I am here words also cannot speak clearly.

Later I will put a book at the end, you can download it for free, and then you can understand the mystery of the curve.

Screen effect as shown:

Next, we add a variety of light effects.

First, use Knoll Light Factory:

Knoll Light Factory can make a very rich light effect, you can choose the appropriate parameters according to your own needs.

Then, use the Star Filter Pro 2 to do the scattering light:

We can exaggerate the effect first and then rub it with the mask:

You can also use the Star Spikes Pro 2 to add the Astral and rainbow lights to the screen, which I will not demonstrate here.

Finally, we will polish, improve the picture of the natural saturation, the effect as shown:

Compare with original image:

Details:

OK, this is the simplest version.

Now let's play an advanced version.
