Please give me some thoughts after learning photoshop.

PS is for PS enthusiasts (such as beginners) who do not have any art foundation and have poor divergent thinking. If you are given a blank canvas, your eyes will be blank. I feel that the threshold for PS is very high, and I feel empty every time I open the PHOTOSHOP software. It feels like there is always a big mountain weighing on your heart. You feel helpless, and I have always felt that way. So I put forward some points for your reference.

1. Attitude and purpose

1. We learn PS so that we can work in an advertising agency without involving artistic creation (such as painting in PS. This must not happen Understanding.) And the "painting" in the industrial design model has no practical value.

2. Don't try to draw anything on the canvas. PS is a digital graphics technology. For example, if you want to draw a pentagon , you can definitely find this SHAPE in the software. All you have to do is drag, transform, zoom in, fill, change color, etc.

3. At the beginning, use the filter and follow the tutorial to make effects You have no benefit at all. You have to start basic training first.

2. Purposeful training

I have always advocated "training" for everything. When I was a child, I exercised, doing leg presses and running in the morning. Later, learning English was also a kind of training. Not everyone has talent. Therefore, targeted training must be carried out. In the past, when training a certain skill, I would often draw up a detailed time schedule. For example, from what time to what time, do dozens of push-ups, several groups of several. When we learn PS, why not start systematic training? You must know that scattered experience gained by visiting forums and watching tutorials cannot support a complete technical system.

I think the following three aspects of basic training are more important.

1. Styling ability

A. Many beautiful shapes can be made through various modes of selection.

B. Strengthen pen tool training (understand the principles thoroughly and insist on using the pen to draw 10 pictures every day)

C. Combination of points, lines and surfaces. Use these basic elements to arrange and combine. Then replace these points, lines and surfaces with specific graphic elements

D. Be sensitive to size. Use guide lines and auxiliary lines. Strive for precision. You will know the importance of this habit when you make samples in the future.

E. Others to be added

The training and cultivation of modeling ability is very important. You don't have to create any effects, you just need to start with a basic understanding and in-depth understanding of modeling. Because only in this way will you be able to master it later.

2. Color application

A. A very important feature of PS is color. You can start training in this area.

B. Filling. It is also very important. Basic qualities, gradients, circles, etc. Anyway, you can fill it in another way. Then fill in the selection, fill in various selections, take the trouble. We see that many effects are actually obtained by the reasonable use of filling. So it’s important to grasp the importance of padding.

C. Remember one sentence: red, yellow, blue, green. As long as there are these four colors. It's absolutely brilliant...

D. Buy a small diary. Record: What color and what color, it looks great.

E. That’s all for now, others will be added.

3. Overall project grasp (relatively obscure, but I don’t know what word to use appropriately)

A. When you open the software, you need to know where the functions I need are available. turn up.

B. What is the current status of the panel on the right. .

C. If you think about an effect carefully, are there any other ways to achieve it?

D. Spend some time trying to understand conceptual things (such as channels, curves, masks, etc.)

E. That’s all for now, others will be added.

3. Improve in actual combat

Many people agree with this point. Learn and apply, see more, do more, think more. Three more policies. You must have a correct attitude at the beginning. Looking at the human-like CGs made by experts is actually of no use to improving your own skills. What we need is to master the most basic instructions for using PS, a powerful digital machine. Instead of using this machine to produce our patented products.

Of course, if you get to the day when you can produce the product, then go into production as soon as possible...
