The production of this tutorial requires strong art skills, especially mouse painting. There are many special effects in the tutorial that need to be completed by hand drawing. It can be seen that the author's art skills are very deep, and the details and creativity are very good.
Original picture
final effect
1. You can make a sketch before making. Open the original image material, outline the character part, copy it to a new layer, create a new layer above the background layer, use the pen tool to draw some soft lines and fill them with purple, as shown below.
2. Create a new layer and draw a sketch. The picture below is a part of the phoenix synthesized with smoke materials.
3. Then synthesize the body into its natural position. Try to consider lighting issues as much as possible. The belly is brighter. Otherwise it will lose its shape. The head to the neck need attention, and then the eyes are the most important. I found a bird's eye instead.
4. This is the prototype after a long period of synthesis. For now, try to use a single synthesis, and adjust the overall color of the phoenix at the end. This is more convenient. As for the synthesis method, I use long smoke materials to synthesize them, cut and paste them, and then synthesize them.
5. Use water materials and special effects to create left-hand effects. You can go to the website to find related water materials.
6. The roughly completed effect of the hand.
7. Phoenix color processing, the simplest and most used method is to overlay other brightly colored materials with the mode "Color" or other.
