A friend really wants to know how to make this kind of metal character. I think there are many methods. Today I will introduce a method that I have explored myself. It is impossible to satisfy everyone, but I still hope it can be used by everyone. Here’s some guidance and inspiration, and I hope you’ll forgive me for any mistakes I’ve made.
Original picture
Rendering:
1. Open the original image, use ctrl+J to copy a layer, and automatically name it layer 1. Next, make a new fill or layer adjustment. The advantage of this is that the original layer will not be destroyed.
2. Create a solid color adjustment layer, layer mode: color. New learners may not be able to guide you on where to operate. I will illustrate it with an illustration:
After adjustment, the effect is as shown below:
3. Make a Curves adjustment layer and set it as shown below:
Attachment: Curves can bring out metallic colors. This tutorial uses curve adjustments to refine this metallic effect.
The resulting rendering is shown below:
4. Make a gradient adjustment layer and set the layer mode to Soft Light, as shown below:
Click the gradient bar with the left mouse button to make gradient adjustments.
