During the drawing process, attention should be paid to the detailed depiction of volume, metallic texture, and three-dimensionality, as well as the processing of light direction. The tutorial is somewhat difficult, and interested netizens can choose to learn it.
Let’s take a look at the renderings first:
renderings
1. Draw a draft. Shape the surface directly with a large diameter brush. You can feel free to do this step as long as you can tell what each part is. Here I have opened the navigator so that it is easier to observe the whole.
Figure 1 Draft
2. Distinguish each aspect in further detail. Pay attention to adjusting the hardness of the brush to suit the needs of the picture. Use the high parameters of the friendly substrate to draw long irregular lines.

3. Duplicate a layer and use CTRL+L to adjust the color levels of the picture. Then add dark and white colors to add volume. Pay attention to the direction of the light source.

5. Add some connecting pipes to the machine to enrich the picture. How to make a pipe: first draw the bending direction of the pipe, then draw a row of parallel straight lines, perform transformations, and make arcs. Then darken and dodge the tube to give it a three-dimensional feel.

6. Duplicate N layers from step 5, and perform free gradient to create tubes at various angles. In order to open up space, use the eraser tool to erase different transparency levels.

7. Keep digging into the details. What should be noted here is that they are both made of metal, but due to the different smoothness of the surface, the degree of light reflection is different. To make your work authentic and believable, you must describe the texture carefully.

9. Open a texture image.

10. Overlay the texture layer on the screen. Add a mask to remove unnecessary parts.
