Crystal Butterfly production focus is the butterfly wing part of the high light rendering out, the process is relatively simple. First render the overall high light, make crystal background, and then slowly refine the local high light and dark part can be.
Final effect
| 1, create a new 800 * 600 pixel canvas, select the Gradient tool, color settings such as Figure 1, from top left to bottom right pull out of the linear gradient shown in Figure 2. |
| 2, the butterfly is symmetrical, the production time we only need to complete half can, first comes to make the wing part, needs to complete the effect as follows the figure. |
| 3. Create a new group, create a new layer in the group, and use the pen to tick the right wing of the selection, fill the white, the following figure. |
| 4, the current support layer to copy a layer, the original wing layer hidden, hold down the ALT key to add a layer mask, with a low transparency of the white brush to the middle part of the wings to wipe out, and then appropriately reduce the opacity of the layer, the effect of the following figure. |
| 5. Create a new layer and use a pen to hook up the dark part of the top of the wing, as shown in Figure 6. Select the Gradient tool, and the color settings are as shown in Figure 7, pulling out the linear gradient in Figure 8. The layer blending mode is then changed to "multiply", and the opacity is changed to: 30%, the effect is shown in Figure 9. |
| 6, the current layer selection, create a new layer, fill light yellow: #F9EC97, press CTRL + D to deselect the selection after holding down the ALT key to add a layer mask, with a white brush to wipe out the bottom edge, and then properly reduce the opacity of the layer, the effect is shown in Figure 11. |
| 7, the wings of the selection, a new layer, with a lower transparency of the brush to the bottom and the top edge of the white paint, the operation to slowly smear, the effect of the following figure. |
| 8, the foreground color set to lavender: #FFC8E0, pull out the wings of the selection, create a new layer, blending mode to "hue", with the brush wings on the left side of the scenery, the effect of the following figure. |
| 9. Create a new layer, use the pen to check out the selections shown in Figure 14, create a new layer to fill the lighter pink, and then apply pale yellow and white on the edge, as shown in Figure 15. |
| 10, create a new layer, the above method to make the top of the high light, with a pen to check out the selection shown in Figure 17, fill pale pink, mixed mode to "soft light", the edge of some of the light yellow, the effect of the figure 17. |
| 11, pull out the wings of the selection, with a white brush on the edge of some high light, the effect of the following figure. To this step, the right wing is basically finished. |
| 12, the good wings to copy a, horizontal flip and then butt up, the effect of the following figure. |
| 13, the trunk part of the production method is the same, the process as the figure 20,21. |
