How does PS make an origami-style three-dimensional weather marker?

To make a weather forecast icon with paper-cutting/origami effect, the main tool is the path, which reflects the texture and three-dimensional sense through too many light and shade levels.

Overview of all-layer classification

Production background

Make the sun (I'm confused on this floor, I'm sorry, just make do with it, I don't understand it slowly)

Make the second one (the sun is divided into three layers, and the elliptical tool is deformed)

Be the third

Create a new layer in the selection and make a projection.

Filters–Blur

Remove excess parts from the mask at home.

Adjust the gradient tool.

Pull to the middle with the gradient tool.

Make your own crease. Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool or Vector Tool to drag the following three colors from light to dark, and adjust the transparency.

Make clouds

Because TT is lazy when it is made, the edge is rough like a dog bite, and then it is processed. [Everyone must know what laziness I stole] (┬ _ ┬) ~ So here I solemnly hope that everyone can make a perfect constituency with pens)

Copy the first layer above.

Change places.

Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool to vertically pull the three colors below from light to dark and adjust the transparency.

Copy the first paper layer and stretch it. Note: (Do a good job of projecting clouds by projecting the sun from above)

Adjust the gradient overlay in the layer style.

Clouds will be completed.

Copy 2 clouds, put them in the appropriate location and resize them.

Start making water drops and look at the picture ↓

Copy the layer, change the color and increase the mask coverage by half.

After copying the layer, transform it to change the color.

Changing the color of the copy layer also increases the mask coverage by half.

You can adjust the top layer style to make it more textured (no style)

Let's start the projection of water droplets (the same as the solar cloud projection above)

After the projection layer is made (it is best to copy a projection layer)

Finally, the copied water droplets "change the color of each water droplet"+(quantity, size, color, location, self-design)

Do the title of the work

Font layer style settings

It's done.

The final effect!

I hope it helps you!
