This is the final effect of the picture.

 

Picture 1: Turn on PS first and create an A4 size canvas with the resolution of 300dpi. Create a new layer on the canvas to draw the line draft. In order to create a hand-painted effect for the coloring picture, I choose the brush which is similar to pencil to sketch the line draft. And then create a background layer under the line draft layer used to set the dominant tone.

 

Picture2: Add complexion and paint hair color for the character and then elaborate the character’s face.

 

Picture 3: This part is to refine hair. Since the heroine is Peacock Princess and to highlight her trait, it will be much better to select green color for the end part of her hair and it looks like peacock feature.

 

Picture 4: Elaborate the curly hair and add highlights.

 

Picture 5: Elaborate the hair on the right by using the same way of last step. Start with adding background color and then adding highlights for the hair.

 

Picture 6: The following part is color adjustment for the round decoration on the back of character. Create a new layer first and choose large soft-edged brush gun to paint green color on the outer ring. And next to adjust layer mode and I choose “Difference” mode to create my required effect.

 

Picture 7: This step is to refine the heroine’s ornament. In order to finish drawing the decorations fast and I need to set the mode of brush to “Linear Dodge”. This brush can works perfectly in drawing highlights especially in adding the golden highlights which can be similar with real yellow gold.

 

Picture 8: Add decorative pattern on the outer ring which can enrich the whole picture.

 

Picture 9: Sketch a lotus on the right of the character. Draw the line draft first and add background color. Since the dominant color is green and in order to have a harmonious effect of the picture I still choose green in this part.

 

Picture 10: Add highlights and shadow for the lotus. I use Gradient Tool to create the dark green shadow and then set the layer mode.

 

Picture 11: Add grain which is similar to the shape of peacock feature for the lotus petal.

 

Picture 12: This part is to add lotus buds.

 

Picture 13:The drawing part is finished. What I should do next is to adjust tone around the character. It is necessary to highlight the character by darkening the tone around the heroine

 

 

Picture 14: The last step is to use “Color Balance” to adjust the whole tone of the picture.

 

Hope this course will be helpful.

Huion Graphics Tablet Contributing Tutorials: Lotus Wander

Hardware: Huion Graphics Tablet

Software: PS

Inspiration: With time goes by, the winter is coming and the lotus in the pond fade away and only left the withered rootstock stand in the pond. This scene reminds me of last summer when lotus flowers were in full bloom and a young girl with Hanfu stands by the lotus pond which creates a beautiful picture in my mind and cannot be removed. Therefore, I decided to draw out this picture.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             This is the final effect.

Picture 1: Turn on PS first and create an A4 size canvas with the resolution of 300dpi. Scan the draft into computer and create a new layer over the draft used to sketch the lines and then create another new layer below the line draft which used to fill the ground color. This is the effect of finishing filling the color.

image

Picture2: Lock the layer where hair and skin color stays. That is, “Lock Transparent Pixels”. Then refine the character’s face and hair.

image

 

Picture 3: This part is to elaborate the flower on her hair.

image

Picture 4: Continue to draw the character’s dress and hand. The main method used in this part is to add shadow and highlights.

image

Picture 5: The character is almost finished and the following important part is to draw lotus around the character. In order to make the background looks more harmonious, I choose white and add little pale lilac for the flowers which can make the flowers more realistic.

image

 

Picture 6: Refine all lotuses on the background. It is available to add little pink for petals which will make the flowers more charming.

image

 

Picture 7: This step is to draw the line draft of lotus leaf first and then fill and elaborate the leaf.  The dark green color would be better for the lotus leaf. The leaves look dark green at night.

Picture 8: Copy all layers where the lotus stay and use “Gaussian Blur” to create lights for the flowers.

image

 

Picture 9: Use big scene brush and blur tool properly to smudge highlights part on the left top of the background. And on the highlight part, it would be better to draw a goldfish. And the fishtail should be draw with smoke brush to create the effect of ethereal.

image

 

Picture 10: Add ornament such as the flower decorative patter on clothes.

image

Picture 11: Adjust the light and make sure the overall tone.

image

 

Picture 12: The following part is to add highlight points. Choose pale yellow and spread them with different sizes on the picture. After copying the layer and use “Gaussian Blur” to create the scene which many fireflies are flying around the lotus pond on summer night. Then the highlight spots are finished.
