Aran Pirayandeh讲解了他完成创造水彩风格场景的创意工作流程。
Aran Pirayandeh guides us through the creative workflow he used to create his watercolor style scene.
第一步:视觉创意，草图和研究
我最初的想法是，在一个下雨的村庄里，一个坐在大象身上的女孩，他们要离开了，女孩看了我一会儿。 所以要开始我需要搜索这些关键词; 大象，女孩，村庄，雨天，为每一个获得重要的视觉效果。我收集了颜色概念，形状和类似于主要思想的参考文献。我保存了这些照片，这些照片显示了人类是如何坐在大象身上，以及一些物体的参考。
我画了许多大象的草图和一些女孩的素描，从不同的观点和一些脸部研究。我在纸上画草图，使用各种各样的参考资料。从参考文献学习之后，我开始不看任何图像地展开自己的概念，这样我就不会分心，发现自己的形象更具个性。
Step 1: Visual ideas, sketches and studies
My initial thought for this illustration was an Indian like girl on an elephant in a rainy village, they were leaving and the girl looks at me for a moment. So to get started I needed to search for these key words; elephant, girl, village, rainy, to get key visuals for each one. I collected references that were close to my concept in color, shape and similar to the main idea. I saved the images those showed me how humans sit on an elephant and some references for objects.
I did so many sketches of elephants and some sketches of the girl, from different views and some face studies. I do sketches on paper and use all kinds of references. After studying from references I started to hatch out my concept without looking at any images, this way I don?t get distracted and find my image is more individual.
第2步：水彩背景
为了营造一种潮湿的氛围和雾气，我发现我的水彩风格很有用。 他们有很多使用水彩效果的方法，但是对于我的背景图片，我选择了潮湿的风格。
为了做到这一点，我去了画笔预设，加载了Photoshop湿媒介画笔，然后我选择了名为水彩画的画笔。我发现这笔刷效果很好，只是在笔刷上勾出了一个润湿效果，并达到了一个苍白的外观使用它的光笔压力。
Step 2: Watercolor background
For making a wet atmosphere and fog, I found my watercolor style useful. They are many ways of using watercolor effects, but for my background image I choose the wet on wet style.
To achieve this I went to the brush presets and loaded up the Photoshop Wet Media Brushes, I then picked the brush named Watercolor Fat Tip. I found this brush to work perfectly, just tick the Transfer option for the brush to get a wetter effect and to achieve a pale look use it with light pen pressure.
步骤三:构成和空间
由于我的插画概念，我将作品的平面分开，将它们的价值从黑暗中转换为光，从两个方面来帮助形象，，其中一个是创造透视，另一个是创造轮廓。
为了达到更有效和平衡的构图，我用透视线和金色螺旋指南来检查我的原始绘画。
Step 3: Composition and space
Due to my illustration concept I separated the planes of the work and change the value of them from dark to light, this helps the image from two aspects, one of them is to create perspective and another is to create silhouettes.
Also to achieve a more effective and balanced composition I check my raw painting with perspective lines and the golden spiral guide.
第四步：完成绘画
使用参考照片和一些其他的灵感，我创造了一个调色板，他们在一个闷热的村庄，所以我认为绿色的和谐运作良好，因为我想创造对女孩和大象的重点，我用一些绿色的补充颜色 女孩的一部分和大象的身体。
为了达到良好的和谐，我不得不加入一些绿色的步骤，并在颜色的圆形效果框架组成，我把一些红色周围的红色。 然后，我开始使用皮肤和环境调色板上的拾色器工具为图像添加最终细节。
Step 4: Complete the painting
Using the reference photos and some other inspiration I created a color palette, they are in a sultry village so I thought the harmony of greens worked well and as I wanted to create focus on the girl and elephant I used the complementary color of green for some part of the girl?s and elephant?s body.
For achieving good harmony I had to add in some green steps and to frame the composition in a circular effect of colors I put some glazed touches of red around. Then I started to add final details to the image using the Color Picker tool on the skin and environment palette.
第五步: 关于更多画笔
我只使用了画笔预设的Photoshop库。到画笔预设，打开湿边复选框，你可以使用任何画笔。
你也可以从下拉菜单中选择湿媒体笔刷，并操作它们来获得你自己特殊的水彩效果。在这个步骤中，我使用了一些方形和书法笔刷的湿边框检查来完成场景和做更多的glazings!
Step 5: More about brushes
I did this painting using only the preset Photoshop library of brushes. Go to the Brush Preset and turn on the Wet Edges check box and you can use it with any kind of brush.
Also you can choose Wet Media Brushes from the dropdown menu and manipulate them to get your own special water color effect. In this step I use some square and calligraphy brushes with Wet Edges box checked to complete the scene and do more glazings!
第六步:细节，雾，灯光和雨
慢慢地我画了所有的细节，完成了灯光，在层之间添加了一些雾，把它们分开，还使潮湿的一天更潮湿，更闷热。
记得在这样的雨天，因为天空中有云，天空似乎是一个很大的软盒子，所以所有的阴影都是光滑柔软的，我们的光源在顶部。所以我强调了物体顶部的光。
我用笔尖预置的间隔选项对链做了一个笔刷，然后用翘曲工具弯曲它。
我添加了一些凉爽和白色的触摸来显示雨滴，湿皮肤和许多其他的东西来帮助改善图像。最后，我画了更多的雨滴，并增加了运动模糊。
Step 6: Details, fog, lights and rain
Slowly I painted all the details, complete the lighting and add some fog between the layers to separate them and also make that wet day wetter and more sultry.
Remember in this kind of rainy day, because of the clouds in the sky, it seems like the sky is a really big soft box, so all the shadows are smooth and soft, and our light source is at the top. So I emphasized the light of the top of the objects.
I made a brush for the chain with the spacing option in the Brush Tip Presets and bend it with Warp tool.
I added some cool and white touches to show the drops of the rain, wet skin and many other things to help to improve the image. Finally I painted some more rain drops and added Motion Blur to them.
第7步：后期制作图像
最后，我使用图像调整工具和混合模式来校正对比度，光线和颜色，并使图像更具吸引力。 我添加了一些微妙的细节？ 特别是对于这个图，我在所有图层上添加了一个噪音中间的灰色图层，在这个图层下，我复制了我的画，并添加了一个高通滤镜，并将图层混合模式更改为柔光以获得更清晰的图像。
Step 7: Post production the image
At last I corrected the contrast, lighting and colors, and make the image more attractive using image adjustment tools and blending modes. I added some subtle details ? especially to the figure, I added a middle gray layer with noise over all layers and under this layer I made a copy of my painting and added a High Pass filter to it and changed the layer blending mode to Soft Light to get a sharper image.
小贴士:湿润的媒体刷
我已经找到了许多有趣的刷子，我可以根据这些刷子来获得水彩效果。
滴落水(9号):选择它，将湿边的复选框打开，旋转散射，开启颜色动态，并将控制设置为笔压。然后将背景色改为白色，并将前景色设置为任何你想要的颜色，现在将画笔模式设置为乘法。
Top tip: Wet media brushes
I have found so many interesting brushes that I can make based on this brushes to get the watercolor effect.
Drippy Water (number 9): Select it and turn the Wet Edges checkbox on, turn Scattering off, turn Color Dynamic on and set the Control to Pen Pressure. Then change the background color to white and the foreground color to whatever you want, and now set the brush mode to Multiply.
