The following tutorial to share the painting friends and relatives!

First of all, to draw like, the character must have her own characteristics. I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who have round eyes, but I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who have round eyes. Of course, generally speaking, you can also draw a more cartoonish face, with clothing and hairstyles to reflect the characteristics of friends and relatives. The easiest way to do this is to get your friends and family to send you a nice picture!

Draft is a quick summary of the things you want to express, the draft outlined, a short-haired girl wearing a beret wearing a black sweater and white pants holding a ginkgo leaf. At this time, the style of the whole picture should also have a number in mind, to express a warm feeling. Brush for ps comes with hard edge round pressure size.

Decrease the size of the brush, in the draft layer on a new layer, sketching out the draft line. Draft is a quick record of the overall feeling, line drawing to take into account some of the details.

Lay out the large color blocks and set the color tone of the painting. In order to emphasize the warmth, I envisioned a warmer illustration with more of a tawny color palette. I really like the use of this kind of color unity of neighboring colors, the picture is harmonious and not easy to error, but also very suitable for beginners. Taking into account the influence of the environment on the inherent colors, in this warm-toned drawing, the black sweater and black hair are actually expressed in brown, and the white pants are in pale yellow.

Carefully portraying the details of the characters, painting here I think the face is not cute enough, the color is too heavy face is too pointed, so I made changes, and at the same time to the clothing refinement.

My kind of good at lazy people, must be good at using copy and paste method. Painting two ginkgo, the rest is copy and paste + free transformation (Ctrl + T), a large ginkgo on the painting. Before the article has a detailed introduction, here will not repeat.

With ps comes with a soft angle brush to paint the tree light and shadow, in the background casually draw a fuzzy ginkgo tree shadow. Below the canvas to pull a dark gradient. To the characters to make some random highlighting, the same is the soft angle brush.

Soft angle brush to paint a few beams of light, all layers of the top of a new layer, fill with brown, mode set to "superimposed", look at the feeling of adjusting the opacity, this step is in order to further unify the tone. Finally add text and signature, this painting is complete. Friends and relatives received a very happy it ~
