Source: Zakuu Author: Once upon a time The effect of this tutorial is somewhat similar to a vector painting effect. The production method is also quite unique. In the early stage, filters and layer blending were basically used to create vector-like color block diagrams. You can refine it later and polish it to your liking. Original picture
