Visual Language Lesson 1: Basic Colored Hands . I'm short of time lately so I have to take the few times that I have free (like this) to bring you something useful.
The first "class" that you I will give will be on coloring a picture, because it is something that is not rocket science but you have to be very patient if it is big picture or many details.
The first is to choose the picture (of course without doing nothing). I am going to explain how I got this
result.
After selecting the image, if we do not have a good quality try to improve a bit, with some adjustment layer of levels or curves to your liking. If we also serve as render, we cut. And we have the image ready to be colored.
Ok, I always begin to paint the skin. As is usually the part that extension is more and more corners that have to be painted, may be the last you most pages. When choosing a color always look in the same color of skin,
this . When we have chosen the color you'll use (you can select from the palette with the eyedropper), create a new layer. ALWAYS going to put a new color in the image create a new layer, and if necessary we changed the name to the layer, for example, we have the layer "skin" layer "eyes" layer "Shadow" etc ... It's time to take a brush and get painting. With patience we are getting the color. To see how it goes running, before we begin to color the layer Multiply with opacity that we like, as the skin tone you want to achieve, in this case I got 55%. This is how it is becoming:
I'm going more or less, ie, now playing smaller parts. Eyes. We will create three layers. Below which this will be yellow, then a circle will be smaller and a darker yellow, and finally, in a much smaller circle painted black pupil.
I put this layer to Multiply at 100%.
It is also in Multiply but 60%.
And the pupil in Normal at 100%.
Now, to make the shadows (which in this image is well defined) do as the skin, but black. The coating was well
. And put it on Soft Light, 60%
To conclude, I returned to the adjustment layers, a gradient map, and approach lighting effect. All this to emphasize the colors.
do not think it necessary to say that all the merger options, percentage of opacity and others are purely personal. So we finished the first lesson. More Later, try to explain how to realistic aspects more images. For now it is all for now.
