Ps into Illustration-How does PS turn photos into illustrations?

PS, AI skillfully turned photos into illustrations. Written in front: this course needs AI and PS foundation. 1. Analyze the characteristics of illustrations. Graphic illustration is a very popular illustration style at present. To do 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, introduction of AI software to skilled ps tutorial: ps tutorial is completed, and how to add illustrations to pictures with PS: 1, open the main page of PS software, and open the original pictures that need to be inserted with illustrations; 2. Click the "Place" option in "File"; 3. Place the picture to be inserted; 4. Adjust the size and position by adjusting the angle of the transformation control; 5. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the insertion is completed, and click "Save". How does ps turn photos into illustrations? Software: PhotoshopCC

1, preliminary preparation

Prepare photos to be processed (higher resolution) and animated sky materials. The original image used here is:

Note: This course is only suitable for dealing with landscapes, not people. Moreover, the treatment of scenery is not suitable for dynamic objects such as vehicles and running water, so it is actually quite picking photos.

2. Oil painting filter

Now I think the "dry brush" filter in the original tutorial is useless, so I only used the "oil painting" filter. The oil painting filter is located in the filter menu, and PhotoshopCC20 14 may not have this filter.

The six parameters currently used are 0. 1, 5, 10, 0, 0 and 0. You can use the values of these parameters as a reference first, and then master them yourself after doing more. If the filter effect is not strong after use, you can double it by Ctrl+F(Mac is _F).

3.CameraRaw filter

Although the "oil painting" filter is very important, you may not notice any obvious changes at this moment. Don't worry, you will see the effect after using the "CameraRaw" filter. This filter is located in the Filters menu of PhotoshopCC.

As shown in the figure, exposure+1 minimizes contrast and maximizes shadow, black, clarity and natural saturation.

4. Stealing the day

Dig out the blue sky, and then replace it with the animation-style sky material prepared in advance (continue to be lazy to use Makoto Shinkai's cloud). There are many methods of matting, so I won't go into details here. If the sky in your original film is pure blue or pure gray (that is, there is no cloud), it only takes 10 second at most to use the wand tool.

After changing the material of the sky, remember to adjust the exposure of the sky with "curve" or other tools to make it coordinate with the foreground. In fact, at this point, a good work has been completed for most people.

5. Final repair

The contrast between comics and movies is lower than that of photos, so I often add an "adjustment" layer in the final repair to reduce the contrast.

In addition, you can also observe the use of blue-purple (dark part), warm yellow (bright part) and other colors in Makoto Shinkai's works, deal with your works with the method of "color balance", and then add a little warm yellow light spot to the bright part. Subsequent adjustments can be made according to the actual situation, such as the adjustment of lens halo and light and shadow, as shown in the following figure:
