1. Create a new canvas in Photoshop . Then use dark blue as the base color. Then lower the opacity and hardness of the brush and choose a color lighter than the background to draw the clouds in the sky. Draw the reflective part of the ground in the same way. Now let’s begin to outline the vision. The whole process is drawn with the most basic round brush in PS, constantly adjusting the hardness; it is all thanks to Youji's 1024-level pressure sensitivity, delicate brush strokes, and one of the buttons on the pen represents the right mouse button, which is very convenient. Adjust the brush hardness manually. This step of characterization can be arbitrary.

2. This step is to depict the traffic flow in the middle scene. Pay attention to the intensity of the light and the virtuality of the brush to reflect the speed of the car, and constantly adjust the hardness of the brush.

4. Describe the neon lights of the city, reflecting the lively atmosphere, and contrasting with the lonely people added at the end; How to draw light: Use a round brush with 0% hardness to choose the basic color of the lamp and spread it diffusely from the center, and then According to the brightness of the light, use a 30% hardness pen in the center to highlight the brightness with white.

5. Describe the houses in the close view, and then use white to lightly add a little air distance effect. (Compare carefully with the picture above)

Completion: Add the characters, and the entire work is completed; Special note: This painting only used round brushes in PS from beginning to end, without using filters and deepening and dodging tools, allowing for a delicate sense of 1024 levels of pressure. The strokes are perfectly expressed, which is unmatched by a mouse or even a 512-level pressure sensitivity.
