使用照片創(chuàng)建山景圖

在這個快速的制作過程中，我會告訴你我是如何使用照片創(chuàng)建山景圖的。我將嘗試著重于一些特定于這種創(chuàng)作藝術品的技巧。

In this quick making of I will show you how I created the Mountain illustration using photo-bashing. I will try to focus on some tricks that are specific for this method of creating artworks.

一個簡單的草圖

我總是喜歡用一個簡短的草圖開始新的插圖；這對獲得主要形狀和構圖的總體思路是有用的。 在這一點上，不必擔心角色設計和背景細節(jié)，這些可以在以后的過程中決定和更改。 這也是我選擇調(diào)色板的地方。 我用了淡色的，幾乎是單色的palatte。 無論您如何選擇顏色，都可以自己做，也可以在照片上使用Photoshop的顏色選擇器。 重要的是顏色匹配和描述插圖的心情。

A simple sketch

I always like to start any new illustration with a quick sketch; this is useful to get a general idea of the main shapes and composition. There is no need to worry about character design and background details at this point, these can be decided and changed later in the process. This is also where I decide on my color palette; I have gone for a desaturated, almost monochromatic palatte. It doesn't matter how you pick your colors, you can do it yourself or use Photoshop's Color Picker on a photo. What is important is that the colors match and describe the mood of the illustration.

照片參考

一旦我有了我的初步素描，并且我對顏色方案很滿意，我可以開始尋找參考圖像。 對于這個個人項目，我要混合使用二戰(zhàn)和中世紀騎士（特別是十字軍）。 研究不必局限于主題; 你可以從任何地方找到靈感，所以在你的主題之外看是很好的。

Photo reference

Once I have my initial sketch down and I am happy with the color scheme I can begin to look for reference images. For this personal project I'm going for a mix of WWII and medieval knights (especially crusaders). Researching doesn't have to be restricted to the main theme; you can find inspiration from anywhere, so it is good to look outside of your subject.

匹配顏色

在我們進入細節(jié)和背景之前，我想通過一個簡單的例子來分享我如何處理照片。 通常不同的照片會有不同的光源，如果最后的插圖是可信的，他們需要相互匹配。 我最初的顏色草圖將有助于這一點。 要匹配任何帶有背景的照片，我使用匹配顏色（圖像>調(diào)整>匹配顏色）功能，然后用紋理畫筆在對象/照片上繪制。 記住照片很有助于加快這個過程，但是仍然需要畫很多東西。

Match color

Before we move on to the details and background, I want to share how I work with photos using a simple example. Often different photos will have different light sources and they need to match each other if the final illustration is going to be believable. My initial color sketch will help with that. To match any photo with a background I use the function Match Color (Image>Adjustments>Match Color) and then paint over the object/photo with a texture brush. It is important to remember that photos help to speed up the process but there is still a need to paint lots of things.

Photo-bashing

使用配色過程，確保所有的參考圖像與主要的插圖相配合; 將它們添加到角色和背景。 我在構圖上掙扎，最終改變了一些東西。 我對山的設計也不滿意，所以我也改變了。 不要忘記在陰影中隱藏不必要的細節(jié)。

Photo-bashing

Using the Match color process I make sure all the reference images tie in with the main illustration; adding them to the character and background. I struggled with the composition and ended up changing things around a little bit. I also wasn't happy with the design of the mountain, so I changed that too. Don't forget to hide unnecessary details in shadow.

最后的接觸

對于最后階段，我添加了一些額外的圖層。 我用了一層灰色的噪音，給人一種電影般的感覺。 我也使用過濾器智能銳化和高斯模糊，這有助于突出或隱藏一些細節(jié)。 有時我喜歡添加色差（濾鏡>扭曲>鏡頭校正）。 從第一眼看，這些圖層并不重要，但它們改善了插圖的整體外觀。

Final touches

For the final stages I added some extra layers. I use a layer with gray noise that gives a cinematic look to the illustration. I also use the filters Smart Sharpen and Gaussian Blur which help to highlight or hide some of the details. Sometimes I like to add Chromatic Aberration (Filter>Distort>Lens Correction). At the first look, these layers are not important, but they improve general look of an illustration.
