Then duplicate the newly drawn part, fill it with black, and merge it into an empty layer. Delete the path attribute to make it easier to erase the transitional shadow with the Eraser Tool. The purpose of this step is to depict the general direction of the just completed shape. As mentioned in the previous coloring tutorial, shadow and light are important means to express the three-dimensional sense of an object. It's a bit similar to the "high tone" of sketching.
Erase out the general area, leaving the areas that the light doesn't think it can reach.
Adjust the opacity to 17% to make the shadow more natural. It can be seen that the direction of the sphere can be seen at this time.
Do this step again, but this time keep the shadow on the lower half of the circle, as the shadow on the lower half of the sphere will be darker, and move it up a few pixels to reveal a white edge. This also helps describe the sense of three-dimensionality.
Then trace the direction of the surface of some objects, copy the path just now, and then just modify the length of the control handles of the left and upper nodes to achieve this shape.
Fill this layer with black. http://www.downcodes.com/
In the same way as before, use an eraser to draw out the shadowed parts. You can see that there will be a bumpy effect.
Carry out the above steps again to make another identical part. See the effect below.
Now draw an inner core using paths. Below is the approximate path.
Note that this shape requires a layer effect and a primary color transparency of 19%. The method was also mentioned last time. On the Layers panel, this section will only affect the color of the path, not the depth of the effect.
At the same time, add an inner glow setting as shown in the figure
After the above steps are completed, copy the bottom path again, shrink it a little bit, and adjust the path as shown in the picture to make it feel included and give the periphery a little thickness.
The following step is to depict the shape of the center of the object, all done through layer effects, and there are many steps. It is best for everyone to carefully look at the final effect and pay attention to setting parameters. Try adjusting it yourself again.
Similarly, 17% primary color transparency, inner glow effect, settings:
The effect of this step:
Add a pattern overlay and set it up as shown:
The effect is as shown in the figure:
Add a Gradient overlay and add a transition to make the picture look less flat. The top is covered with white and the rest is transparent. You may need to try this step yourself, because the initial position and transition color of the transition color are different. The author's specific settings are as follows:
Current effect:
Finally add a Color overlay, because the current color doesn't look vivid enough. The specific settings are as shown in the figure:
final effect. At this step, the effect of this layer is complete. It is best for everyone to pay attention to the covering order of the layers at this time, which ones are on top and which ones are on the bottom. Some should be overlaid on top, making the underlying elements visible through transparency. Need to take a closer look at what it looks like now.
Once everyone has reviewed it, we can continue. The author feels that a halo is needed here, because I found that the right part lacks some light description. So fill a selection with white
Then add a Gaussian Blur and adjust it to look like the picture below. Not too big. Then use an eraser to rub it a little and repair it.
Use a path to draw a highlight. The shape is more or less enough, the main thing is to follow the shape of the theme.
The 17% original color is transparent and has the same inner glow effect as above. Setup diagram:
Then draw another one:
There is another one, these settings are exactly the same. The shape is also arbitrary, you can just go with what you feel and find the shape that looks good to you. Anyway, it just makes it feel like there is something inside.
We need to use the bottom path again, copy a layer, and then specify a color. Pay attention to the rendering here, and then think about its position in the layer.
In the same way as before, create a new blank layer and merge it with it, then use an eraser to erase the unwanted areas:
