Rat-painted characters are a difficult part to learn in PS. Requires strong art skills. Because the characters have many components, if you want to draw them realistically, you will need a lot of time to refine them. However, you can use some digital tablets when drawing.

1. First use wacom (foreigners also use this dongdong) to draw a draft step by step.
2. Finally streamline the line draft and obtain the following main line draft.
3. Then, create a new layer, change its mode to multiply, and paint the face area with dark green. Why paint dark green instead of skin color? Because the dark green color can be clearly seen where the white is not applied, and the skin color is too close to white, it is difficult to detect. (The foreigner’s attentiveness can be seen from this)
4. Next, fill in the green area with light skin color.
5. Create a new layer, draw a virtual light on this layer, and determine the angle of light incidence.
6. Select a slightly darker skin color and continue to draw the shadow surface on the face layer just now.
7. Continue to deepen the shadows, select a deeper skin color, and draw the shadow area of the face.
8. Then, use Brightness/Contrast to adjust the face to make it more contrasty.
9. Apply it to look like this.
10. Hide the line art layer and take a look, as shown in the picture.
11. Use the airbrush tool to deepen the shadows, as shown below.
12. Use the finger smudge tool to soften the transition of the border.
13. Deepen the level 2.
