水彩風格場景的制作

Aran Pirayandeh講解了他完成創(chuàng)造水彩風格場景的創(chuàng)意工作流程。

Aran Pirayandeh guides us through the creative workflow he used to create his watercolor style scene.

第一步:視覺創(chuàng)意，草圖和研究

我最初的想法是，在一個下雨的村莊里，一個坐在大象身上的女孩，他們要離開了，女孩看了我一會兒。 所以要開始我需要搜索這些關(guān)鍵詞; 大象，女孩，村莊，雨天，為每一個獲得重要的視覺效果。我收集了顏色概念，形狀和類似于主要思想的參考文獻。我保存了這些照片，這些照片顯示了人類是如何坐在大象身上，以及一些物體的參考。

我畫了許多大象的草圖和一些女孩的素描，從不同的觀點和一些臉部研究。我在紙上畫草圖，使用各種各樣的參考資料。從參考文獻學習之后，我開始不看任何圖像地展開自己的概念，這樣我就不會分心，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的形象更具個性。

Step 1: Visual ideas, sketches and studies

My initial thought for this illustration was an Indian like girl on an elephant in a rainy village, they were leaving and the girl looks at me for a moment. So to get started I needed to search for these key words; elephant, girl, village, rainy, to get key visuals for each one. I collected references that were close to my concept in color, shape and similar to the main idea. I saved the images those showed me how humans sit on an elephant and some references for objects.

I did so many sketches of elephants and some sketches of the girl, from different views and some face studies. I do sketches on paper and use all kinds of references. After studying from references I started to hatch out my concept without looking at any images, this way I don?t get distracted and find my image is more individual.

第2步：水彩背景

為了營造一種潮濕的氛圍和霧氣，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我的水彩風格很有用。 他們有很多使用水彩效果的方法，但是對于我的背景圖片，我選擇了潮濕的風格。

為了做到這一點，我去了畫筆預設(shè)，加載了Photoshop濕媒介畫筆，然后我選擇了名為水彩畫的畫筆。我發(fā)現(xiàn)這筆刷效果很好，只是在筆刷上勾出了一個潤濕效果，并達到了一個蒼白的外觀使用它的光筆壓力。

Step 2: Watercolor background

For making a wet atmosphere and fog, I found my watercolor style useful. They are many ways of using watercolor effects, but for my background image I choose the wet on wet style.

To achieve this I went to the brush presets and loaded up the Photoshop Wet Media Brushes, I then picked the brush named Watercolor Fat Tip. I found this brush to work perfectly, just tick the Transfer option for the brush to get a wetter effect and to achieve a pale look use it with light pen pressure.

步驟三:構(gòu)成和空間

由于我的插畫概念，我將作品的平面分開，將它們的價值從黑暗中轉(zhuǎn)換為光，從兩個方面來幫助形象，，其中一個是創(chuàng)造透視，另一個是創(chuàng)造輪廓。

為了達到更有效和平衡的構(gòu)圖，我用透視線和金色螺旋指南來檢查我的原始繪畫。

Step 3: Composition and space

Due to my illustration concept I separated the planes of the work and change the value of them from dark to light, this helps the image from two aspects, one of them is to create perspective and another is to create silhouettes.

Also to achieve a more effective and balanced composition I check my raw painting with perspective lines and the golden spiral guide.

第四步：完成繪畫

使用參考照片和一些其他的靈感，我創(chuàng)造了一個調(diào)色板，他們在一個悶熱的村莊，所以我認為綠色的和諧運作良好，因為我想創(chuàng)造對女孩和大象的重點，我用一些綠色的補充顏色 女孩的一部分和大象的身體。

為了達到良好的和諧，我不得不加入一些綠色的步驟，并在顏色的圓形效果框架組成，我把一些紅色周圍的紅色。 然后，我開始使用皮膚和環(huán)境調(diào)色板上的拾色器工具為圖像添加最終細節(jié)。

Step 4: Complete the painting

Using the reference photos and some other inspiration I created a color palette, they are in a sultry village so I thought the harmony of greens worked well and as I wanted to create focus on the girl and elephant I used the complementary color of green for some part of the girl?s and elephant?s body.

For achieving good harmony I had to add in some green steps and to frame the composition in a circular effect of colors I put some glazed touches of red around. Then I started to add final details to the image using the Color Picker tool on the skin and environment palette.

第五步: 關(guān)于更多畫筆

我只使用了畫筆預設(shè)的Photoshop庫。到畫筆預設(shè)，打開濕邊復選框，你可以使用任何畫筆。

你也可以從下拉菜單中選擇濕媒體筆刷，并操作它們來獲得你自己特殊的水彩效果。在這個步驟中，我使用了一些方形和書法筆刷的濕邊框檢查來完成場景和做更多的glazings!

Step 5: More about brushes

I did this painting using only the preset Photoshop library of brushes. Go to the Brush Preset and turn on the Wet Edges check box and you can use it with any kind of brush.

Also you can choose Wet Media Brushes from the dropdown menu and manipulate them to get your own special water color effect. In this step I use some square and calligraphy brushes with Wet Edges box checked to complete the scene and do more glazings!

第六步:細節(jié)，霧，燈光和雨

慢慢地我畫了所有的細節(jié)，完成了燈光，在層之間添加了一些霧，把它們分開，還使潮濕的一天更潮濕，更悶熱。

記得在這樣的雨天，因為天空中有云，天空似乎是一個很大的軟盒子，所以所有的陰影都是光滑柔軟的，我們的光源在頂部。所以我強調(diào)了物體頂部的光。

我用筆尖預置的間隔選項對鏈做了一個筆刷，然后用翹曲工具彎曲它。

我添加了一些涼爽和白色的觸摸來顯示雨滴，濕皮膚和許多其他的東西來幫助改善圖像。最后，我畫了更多的雨滴，并增加了運動模糊。

Step 6: Details, fog, lights and rain

Slowly I painted all the details, complete the lighting and add some fog between the layers to separate them and also make that wet day wetter and more sultry.

Remember in this kind of rainy day, because of the clouds in the sky, it seems like the sky is a really big soft box, so all the shadows are smooth and soft, and our light source is at the top. So I emphasized the light of the top of the objects.

I made a brush for the chain with the spacing option in the Brush Tip Presets and bend it with Warp tool.

I added some cool and white touches to show the drops of the rain, wet skin and many other things to help to improve the image. Finally I painted some more rain drops and added Motion Blur to them.

第7步：后期制作圖像

最后，我使用圖像調(diào)整工具和混合模式來校正對比度，光線和顏色，并使圖像更具吸引力。 我添加了一些微妙的細節(jié)？ 特別是對于這個圖，我在所有圖層上添加了一個噪音中間的灰色圖層，在這個圖層下，我復制了我的畫，并添加了一個高通濾鏡，并將圖層混合模式更改為柔光以獲得更清晰的圖像。

Step 7: Post production the image

At last I corrected the contrast, lighting and colors, and make the image more attractive using image adjustment tools and blending modes. I added some subtle details ? especially to the figure, I added a middle gray layer with noise over all layers and under this layer I made a copy of my painting and added a High Pass filter to it and changed the layer blending mode to Soft Light to get a sharper image.

小貼士:濕潤的媒體刷

我已經(jīng)找到了許多有趣的刷子，我可以根據(jù)這些刷子來獲得水彩效果。

滴落水(9號):選擇它，將濕邊的復選框打開，旋轉(zhuǎn)散射，開啟顏色動態(tài)，并將控制設(shè)置為筆壓。然后將背景色改為白色，并將前景色設(shè)置為任何你想要的顏色，現(xiàn)在將畫筆模式設(shè)置為乘法。

Top tip: Wet media brushes

I have found so many interesting brushes that I can make based on this brushes to get the watercolor effect.

Drippy Water (number 9): Select it and turn the Wet Edges checkbox on, turn Scattering off, turn Color Dynamic on and set the Control to Pen Pressure. Then change the background color to white and the foreground color to whatever you want, and now set the brush mode to Multiply.
