Final effect:
1. Create a new file with a background of 500 * 700 pixels and fill it with black. Create a new layer and start making the flower part. First, take a look at the overall effect of the flower as shown in Figure 1. It is basically composed of petals and stamens. There are many petals, which is also the most time-consuming part.
<Figure 1>
2. Press Ctrl + M to bring up the ruler, and then pull out two intersecting reference lines. The intersection position is the center of the flower, as shown in Figure 2.
3. Use the pen tool to outline the path of a petal, convert it to a selection as shown in Figure 3, then select the gradient tool, set the color as shown in Figure 4, pull up from the vertex to the bottom, and use linear gradient as the gradient method. The effect after canceling the selection is as shown in Figure 5 .
4. Enlarge the petals partially, create a new layer and use the pen tool to outline the dark parts of the petals as shown in Figure 6. Fill color: #E54F74, then adjust the transparency appropriately, add a layer mask and apply some transparency to the top, as shown in the picture. 7.
5. The method of making other petals is the same, but the shape is a little different. You need to use the pen tool to cut out the paths one by one and then pull the gradient. Pay attention to the layers of the petals. The general process is shown in Figure 8-11.
