Pictures to illustrations -PS photos to hand-drawn illustrations (with characters)

How to draw photos into illustrations? This time I painted my relatives and friends. She is a super beautiful girl and a great photographer. The final picture is as follows: Let's share the tutorial of drawing relatives and friends! First of all, to draw an image, a character must have her own characteristics. The eyes of relatives and friends are round and big, and they are all lovely girls' faces. Of course, generally speaking, you can also draw cartoon faces, and use clothes and hairstyles to reflect the characteristics of relatives and friends. The easiest way is to ask friends and relatives to send you a nice photo! The photo is in the ginkgo forest in the park, and friends and relatives are smiling at a leaf, which is very warm and fresh. Graphic WordPad (WacomCTL 67 1)+Photoshop software draft is a quick summary of what you want to express. This manuscript summarizes a girl with short hair wearing a beret, a black sweater and white trousers, and a ginkgo leaf in her hand. At this time, we should also know the style of the whole picture and express a warm feeling. Brush is ps's own hard edge ring pressure. Reduce the brush size, create a new layer on the draft layer, and check the draft. The draft is a quick record of the overall feeling, and the line draft should consider some details. Spread out a large color block and set the color tone of the painting. In order to highlight the warm feeling, I imagined a warm yellow-brown illustration. I like to use this uniform adjacent color very much. The harmonious picture is not easy to make mistakes, and it is also very suitable for novices. Considering the influence of the environment on the inherent color, in this warm color painting, the black sweater and black hair are actually represented by brown, and the white pants are light. Carefully depict the details of the characters. I thought the face was not cute enough, the color was too heavy and the face was too sharp, so I made a modification and refined the clothes. Lazy people like me must be good at using copy-and-paste solutions. Draw two ginkgo biloba, and the rest is copy and paste+free transformation (CTRL+T), and a large piece of ginkgo biloba is drawn. There is a detailed introduction in the previous article, so I won't repeat it here. Draw the light and shadow of the tree with the soft-angle brush that comes with ps, and draw the fuzzy ginkgo tree shadow on the background casually. Drop a dark gradient on the canvas. Feel free to do some highlights for the characters, which is also a soft corner brush. Draw a few beams of light with a soft angle brush. Create a new layer on top of all layers, fill it with brown, set the mode to "Overlay", and adjust the opacity according to your feeling. This step is to further unify the tone. Finally, add words and signatures, and the painting is finished. Friends and relatives are very happy to receive it ~ put a process animation to sum up: please poke all my painting tutorial articles: painting tutorial directory PS, AI skillfully turns photos into illustrations and writes them in front: this tutorial needs AI and PS foundation 1 Analyze the characteristics of illustration. Graphic illustration is a very popular illustration style at present. To make a graphic illustration, we must first understand and analyze its characteristics. In modeling: concise, simplify complex modeling. In light and shadow: remove the gradient and texture effect of light and shadow, and use solid color more. Second, the modeling of illustration drawing tools is what ai is good at, so we use AI to draw the modeling of objects and AI to make colors. These two softwares cooperate with each other and can meet almost all our needs. Third, the composition is based on a photo, and the objects in the photo can be deleted and modified appropriately. For example, the shape and position of the bamboo raft are not so ideal. We can use the bamboo raft in the picture on the right instead. We can divide the picture into three levels: the close shot is a bamboo raft, the middle shot is a mountain, and the distant shot is the sky. V-shaped composition with high side and low middle. Four. Drawing Step 1: Use the stippling brush in ai to draw the close shot, middle shot and distant shot layer by layer, and you only need to draw a rough outline. After locking, you can copy the photo directly, just draw the outline and then delete the path inside to get a face. Step 2: Use the plug-in to convert the drawn ai into a layered psd, and draw colors in the psd. The shapes of each layer are mainly monochrome. The choice of color can refer to the color of the photo, such as early morning, afternoon, or night, just absorb the color. Step 3: Add water reflection and detail texture, and use Boolean operation to add ripples and details to the reflection. It doesn't need to be complicated, it can be abstract. AI tutorial: Illustrator video tutorial, AI software introduction to master ps tutorial: PS tutorial is completed, and PS tutorial that can be learned with zero foundation can be transformed from PS photos to hand-drawn illustrations (with characters). For those of us who have been obsessed with countless comics, it is so happy to turn our travel and party photos into illustrations/comics, as if we could create our own comic world. Let me share my creative process here. Before and after pictures first: There are many tutorials on how to turn photos into illustrations on the Internet, but only pure landscape photos can look good. There is always a feeling of "knowing it is a photo at a glance" when people's photos are turned out. So I added some hand-drawing on the basis of the online tutorial to make the final effect more like hand-drawing. First of all, we should turn the photos into illustrations. There are many such tutorials, and the better one is: PS saves the hand cancer party for three minutes to learn the hand-drawn illustration style. You can refer to it, so I won't repeat it here. The effect is as follows: if there is any deviation in the effect made by everyone, it may be that I adjusted the tone too much when I made it (I can't remember it for too long). In fact, after the first step, it has been very feel, but I prefer the animation style, and the characters above are still partial to oil painting. So, redraw a sketch according to the characters in the photo and color it, and it's done: poof, I'm kidding, but the sketch must be typed first, so you can use your imagination. You don't have to stick to the original picture, just handle the perspective and interaction of the scene. In order to see clearly, I reduced the transparency of the background: please forgive my 50-point hand-drawing technique (covering my face). In fact, in a beautiful scene, no matter how you draw, there will be color. Here you can refer to some hand-painted coloring techniques. I'm Xiao Bai, so I won't embarrass myself. However, it can provide a simple way to pick some bright and bright colors and draw solid colors for people. The simpler it is, the more hand-drawn illustration it feels. Or refer to the color matching in the works of Miyazaki Hayao and Xinghai City, all of which are very bright. Coloring effect: Finally, combining characters and scenes, pay attention to the occlusion relationship (in fact, the girl behind the pillar in the above picture has already handled the occlusion relationship), and add some shadows in the center to enhance the sense of reality. Ps can only erase a little of the original words in the soap chip. Another very important element is the sky, which can set off the atmosphere very strongly In terms of hue, my scene is a little yellow-green, so I also chose the sky with this hue. There can't be too many clouds in the sky, otherwise it will steal the host's attention and the audience will be attracted to the sky involuntarily. The sky I chose comes from Makoto Shinkai, and the final draft is as follows: This article is only about the basics. The children's shoes I am interested in can be hand-painted in depth, and I can draw more awesome works. But it is more important to draw on photos than technology, such as the work of Swedish illustrator JohanTh_rnqvist: expand your imagination, and believe that everyone can create interesting illustrations with your photos.
