This is my earlier painting of the pit Dad step-by-step tutorial. Let's have some fun today.
Tools: Photoshop CS3 (more stable function)
The first step, of course, is drafting, compared to black and white, I prefer to use more transparent color, such as Kaplan or Caftan Brown and so on, draw the approximate light and shade relations and modelling.
This step, I used PS paint bucket and color balance, the curve of these three tools on a layer of simple color tendencies, laid the picture of the big tones. This is very important, or to the back of the adjustment on the very sad to say
Use the color dodge effect of the brush in the same layer point out the brightest place, to create light effect.
After determining the great hue, you can begin to do some deep modeling of God horse.
Incrementally add details.
The background of a small range of characterization, because it is running, so I also lazy not how to draw. Finally, I may feel that this picture is a little farther away from what I want, so I continue to adjust the contrast between the light and shade with the curve tool, and then add some place with the brush to finish it roughly.
Here even finished ~ time to draw in the company, intermittent continuation of a lot of days, probably the total time also has 15-20 hours, not very skilled, the quality is ordinary, you will do to see it ~
As for the curves I mentioned above, these tools are selected in the Layer menu. The use is very simple, you can try, but do not form a dependency. Color balance is easy to burn off the screen, but also not very suitable for exercise color sense.
Bo Jun a smile yo ~
