final effect
This is a tutorial on creative design ideas and is not recommended for beginners. Mainly explain the ideas! The description of the process is a little simpler!
Production begins! Please use PS CS2 or above version to make it.
1. Prepare the materials and four different looks of MM! Of course you can choose the materials yourself, or you can find four girls~~~~~
2. Create a new canvas. Use radial gradient to draw the following gradient color on the canvas. The purpose of this gradient is to highlight the background effect of MM, so the gradient is from light to dark. The effect is as follows:
3. Create a new layer and name it Abstract Clouds.
Adjust the foreground color to white and the background color to black.
Execute Filter----Render----Clouds.
Execute Filter----Distort----Wave, use the default settings and click OK directly, and you will see the following effect:
4. Put in the first MM. Note, if your MM picture has a background, please cut it out.
5. Put all four MMs into the canvas. Adjust the placement by yourself. The four pictures we gave you feel like dance movement effects.
6. Add reflection to MM.
Merge the four MM layers, name the merged layer four MM, and make a copy of this layer (named four MM reflection).
Execute, edit---transform---vertical flip, and then drag the flipped picture to the feet of the four mm. Note, please hold down the shift key when dragging to ensure that the position corresponds.
Adjust the opacity of the four MM reflection layer to about 20%. Depends on the color of your picture.
Then use the eraser tool to appropriately delete the bottom and surroundings of the four MM reflection layer to make the effect closer to the reflection effect.
Tip: You don’t have to use the eraser tool here. You can use a gradient color to achieve this. Use a gradient from transparent to blue background color to fill the selection of the four MM reflection, and then reduce the transparency of the gradient layer to match the four MM reflection. Please do your own research for details.
7. Let’s start with the creative ideas part. In fact, in many designs, the creative effects come from the original image, and there is no need to search for various effect backgrounds. Please take a look.
Click on the four MM layers and draw a selection with a width of one pixel on the left leg of the first MM. Highly customizable.
Copy this selection to a new layer. (First Ctrl+C, then create a new layer, then Ctrl+V or directly Ctrl+J)
Name this one-pixel-wide layer One Pixel.
8. Click on a pixel layer, press Ctrl+T to transform, and drag the image horizontally to the left and right edges of the canvas.
9. Add a dynamic feeling of dancing waves to the first MM skirt.
Execute Edit---Transform--Deform (PS CS2 or above) and drag a pixel layer into multiple ripple effects.
The picture below is done with the background layer and gradient layer turned off. This way the lines will be seen more clearly.
10. Drag to a satisfactory position and click OK.
Use the eraser tool to erase some of the excess parts of the one-pixel layer, so that the dancing feeling is between the hem of MM's skirt.
Duplicate a one-pixel layer. Name the new layer New Pixel.
Execute Filter----Blur----Gaussian Blur and set the radius to 3 pixels.
Set the new pixel layer blending mode to Screen. Set the original one-pixel layer blending mode to Linear Dodge.
11. Repeat steps 7, 8, and 9 to add effects to the second MM. Here one pixel is taken from the arm of the first MM.
12. Repeat step 10 to make the effect dynamic.
13. Create a new layer and command the middle light.
Using the Pen Tool, draw a path in the middle of the MM.
Click on the Brush Tool, size 3 pixels.
Click the Pen Tool again, right-click on the path you just drew, and select Stroke Path. Select the brush and click Simulate Pressure.
Sure.
14. Add a layer style to the mid-section light layer.
External glow. Set the blending mode to Color Dodge, the transparency to 100%, the color to #0072FF, and the size to 5 px. No other modifications will be made. The effect after confirmation is as follows:
15. Repeat steps 13 and 14 to add a few more gorgeous lights.
16. Add light spots.
Using a 17 px brush, draw a white light spot in the middle line.
Add an Outer Glow blending mode to this light point.
Layer Style---Outer Glow, Outer Glow mode set to Linear Dodge, Opacity 100%, Color #008AFF, Size 24 pixels, other settings remain unchanged. Sure.
17. Repeat step 16 to make a few more light spots.
18. Repeat steps 7, 8, and 9 to "distort" the image around to create a line effect.
Note: The layers of these lines are below the MM and above the gradient background layer!
We name these line layers background line layers.
19. Duplicate a background lines layer.
Execute Filter---Blur--Gaussian Blur and set the radius to 10 pixels.
Change the blending mode of the copied background line layer to Color Dodge.
20. Use the new hue, saturation, and curve layers to adjust the color appropriately. get the final effect.
