today I will show how to create this
really cute interesting rocket in
Photoshop completely from scratch so
let's start hi guys it's nemanja and
welcome to another really fun episode

up to you if you want to continue with
the subscription or not right now let's
go straight into Photoshop and add a fun
beginning right guys today we will start
with blank piece of document and the
size completely depends of the purpose
of the artwork you want to create so
where do you want to put it if you want
to put in an Instagram then you can do
like I do just take the aspect ratio of
4 by 5 and then create rocket on this
kind of crop or if you want to put it as
a wallpaper on your computer then maybe
some white screen etc saw the sizes
completely and the aspect ratio is
completely on you right so first thing
that I like to do is to create a sketch
create a new layer name it sketch use a
black brush small really small brush and
hard one and just to draw something so I
need to draw the rocket so maybe
something like this and then like the
body right there okay and some exhaust
pipes maybe like this so this is like
really really fast sketch here maybe
something like this ok it doesn't matter
this is just sketch this is a window and
this is like the sketch for my rocket I
already did it I took a little bit more
time and I created it's not perfect at
all as you can see this is just a sketch
for it and I created the sketch so to
create a really nice catch you can go
online and search for some reference
some rocket images and then try to
create your version of the rocket you
want to turn into that 3d like a real
rocket shape so now that we have a
sketch here on the screen the next step
is to fill all these with the colors so
first what I like to do I like to use a
pen tool and just trace the shape of the
rocket and then fill with the color in
case you don't know how to use a pen too
I advise it to go and watch my tutorial
about a pen - I explained complete use
of pen tool and you can find it on link
right there and now I will use pen tool
press P on a keyboard just choose from
here and I will just go and click right
there and follow my scab she doesn't
need to be perfect but I will follow
this shade because I like it right and
the point here the trick here guys
is to create only half of the rocket and
then we will mirror it so I will show
that later but now I close the path then
I will press ctrl or command on a Mac
with the enter towards to turn the path
into selection and now create a new
layer name it let's name it body sorry
buddy and I will choose a color so maybe
some kind of reddish color and then
press ok and fill this selection with a
color in case your car is a foreground
color and you want to fill the selection
you need to press alt or option key on a
Mac with the backspace and then you will
fill with that color okay now that I
finished with this part and I need to
trace wings and I need to trace our
things so I will just pass forward this
because it's completely the same just
make a path around this sketch fill it
with any color that you want and that's
it
so before I fast forward this let me
show you one really cool trick if you
press ctrl or command R on a keyboard
you will get this ruler and just draw a
drag from this one to the center of the
rocket right there
I have two of them I just moved one okay
like that on the center make sure that
is really on the center something like
that then this will act as mirroring
planes so we don't need to create a left
wing we only need to create right a
right one and we don't need to be
precise on this part of the rocket only
on this part this right side because we
will mirror everything
to have a perfectly mirror shape of your
rocket that's really cool trick so now I
will fast forward and use a pencil to
trace all our elements
right I just created this part of
exhaust pipe and I will move it below
the body and I will just make a copy of
it press ctrl or command J and just move
it down below right here then ctrl or
command T to make it smaller
like this alright and maybe a little bit
like that I'm satisfied with that and
also I will go to this one and press
ctrl command T and just move pull it
down to a little bit bigger shape
something like that also I can go on
this one as you can see guys I'm
switching between layers just by
clicking on them I'm using the move tool
I'm holding ctrl or command key and in
that way I can switch really fast and
easily between layers also there is
another trick if you just click here how
to select you don't need to hold
anything on any layer you click it will
automatically be selected but I don't
like to have this out of select because
I want to maybe select the wing right
there and then move it from here from
some reasons I don't want to click here
and then to select nothing or some other
layer so that's why I like to have my
ctrl or command key pressed and then how
to select option will be available ok so
this is a cool trick I will now select
this layer and change it to little
brighter part of the color of gray shade
of gray so I will ctrl or command click
on this actually on this toward this
layer is the selection and then fill it
with a grey and also I like to move it
down below so this is it this is
practically it only thing that we need
to do is to create this middle wing so I
will lower the opacity of the body use
the GAM pen tool and just fast forward
this a little bit
and guys this is it so let's bring back
back the opacity of the body and this is
our rocket so I will hide the sketch
layer and now we need to mirror this so
easy way to do this is just the half
part of the rocket and then to duplicate
that part that is left and just just
flip it horizontal so we will do that I
will go and choose rectangular marquee
tool and just create selection it will
clip it will snap actually it will snap
here to this middle line that's cool and
now we need to go in layer by layer so
here I don't need to delete anything but
middle wing just press delete then body
press delete and those exhaust pipe
press delete and that's it now what I
need to do I need to select everything
here all those elements press ctrl or
command J to make a copy of it then
while everything is selected press ctrl
or command T and then we can go just and
say flip horizontal and move it by
holding shift move it to snap here
that's really cool then press ok and we
can now hide this helper by pressing
ctrl H H to hide so ctrl or command H
and that's it so as you can see there is
a small line in between that's because
those two parts are not connected like
one layer so we will do that we'll go to
middle wing copy and middle wing and
press ctrl or command e to merge it
together so now we have middle big as
one layer so we will do exactly the same
for all other other elements so body
control command E and I have a
fast-forward this okay so this is it let
me just check this is 1 this is 2 we
have a body we have mil wing we have
left wing
and we have right wing but right wing
arcade this is all the elements almost
finished select of the rocket only thing
that is missing is the window and this
part right here this this thing that is
dividing the top of the rocket from the
body so let's create the window first
it's really easy to do that there are
several ways you can do it I will show
one way with shape tool in case you
don't know how to use the shape tool I
have really good tutorial shaped you'll
explain you can watch it on the link
right there so check it out if you don't
know how to use it now I will go to my
shape tool and I will choose ellipse -
okay and I will just create a little by
holding shift so something like this and
then I don't want fill in case you have
some color as a fill just choose no
color and then I can choose some
brighter color for stroke and I want to
make it bigger probably something
probably something like this maybe
60 or so let me see yeah for now let's
do it like that and maybe I want to make
everything smaller so I can go right
there and type maybe 550 I don't know
let's see this is cool so this is my my
window for now I really like it and I
want to Center it with the rocket so to
do that I will just choose window let me
just name it choose window and choose
the body by holding ctrl command key and
just click on it and then go on the move
tool and center it align it vertically
so this is it now they are perfectly
aligned I can now go and create this
dividing part so to do that I will go to
my body layer because I want to cut out
the cat of the rocket physically from
this layer so to do that again there are
several ways you can use a pen tool and
just make like selection around and then
cut it out but easy ways to use the
elliptical marquee tool and just do
something like this I will go right
there
make sure that
on the middle all right and then I like
to add this part as a selection because
I don't want to select only the middle
part of the record I want to select
everything except the caps I will use
the lasso tool press and hold shift to
add to the selection and this is it now
I need to invert the selection because I
want the cap to be selected ctrl shift I
or command shift I on a Mac and now I'll
press ctrl shift + + J or command shift
J or you can go to layer new layer via
cut we want to make a new layer via cut
so this is it ok and as you can see we
have cat on a separate layer also I want
to go on the sketch layer hide it and
move it all the way down just move this
right there ok and now on the cap on the
cap I want to make that line the tree
bun or whatever it is so to do that we
just need to create a new layer and clip
it to a fact only cap layer and now I
want to hide the body just have better
impression what I'm doing I can go again
to elliptical marquee tool and just go
right there move it up
oops sorry like this and then fill it
with any color that you want I will
choose some kind of darker gray color
and fill it with that I've I feel
actually the holes ellipse but because
as you can see but because I clip it to
affect only the cap it's only showing
here so that's it let's bring back this
part and our silat of a rocket is done
ok the next thing that we need to do is
to transform this 2d object silhouette
of rocket into a 3d model of the rocket
so that is really fun part that's my
favorite part here and to do that we
will use only dodge and burn we will
just paint shadows and highlights the
rocket and model the shape of the rocket
in case you don't know how to use
dodging burn and in case you don't know
what a dodging burn is I recommend you
to go and watch my two
about dodge and burn explained on link
right there you don't need to watch the
whole tutorial just the beginning where
I explaining you what it is and how to
use it because here I will not go or
again show the details was dodging burn
is we will just do the dodging burn
technique so let's go back into
Photoshop Anna let's do this fun part
right guys so first thing that I like to
do is to make the shape of the body
because it's the bigger biggest part so
as you can see and to do that there are
several ways we can go with the curves
adjustment layer clip it to affect only
the body make everything darker like
this invert the mask ctrl or command I
and then use big brush with really soft
big brush wait maybe I don't know 10%
opacity and black color and just paint
actually white color because we want to
reveal the mask and just paint here as
you can see and we can paint the shape
of the rocket so this is practically
shaping the rocket but I will not go
this time this way I will make your life
easier much easier so to do that I'll
just delete the curse adjustment layer
and then create regular new layer I will
flip it to effect the body and I will
name it shadow so I will name it body
shadow be be shadow body shadow and then
I will use gradient map so make sure
that you have black and white as your
default colors if you don't have it like
I don't have it now
just press D on the keyboard to set the
four colors and then choose the gradient
black actually for agon color to
transparent so in this case black to
transparent and that's it now you need
to just add a gradient right there as
you can see really fast easy and really
nice so make sure to set the right
distance if you go a little bit further
away from the rocket and then add a
gradient it will be a little bit
pattered effect if you go right here and
then add a gradient to be a little bit
different etcetera and make sure that
you have a linear gradient not radio etc
diamond.the blah blah just a linear
gradient and
add added like that also you can move it
you can use the move tool and just move
this and transform it control commodity
and just make it like this or like that
whatever you want I like I like it this
way so maybe I will just move it a
little bit and move it back something
something like this and this is a start
so now let's do the same for the cap but
first I want to change the color of the
cap so I will select it select it and
press ctrl or command key click on the
layer to lot this is a selection and
then choose some lighter gray probably
probably something like like this and
then feel the cat because I don't want
you have to be red alright so what we
need to do now I just want to select the
cap and not just a little bit down
that's cool now we can just copy this
layer press and hold alt or option key
and drag it about the cap right there
clip it to effect everything down below
and as you can see we can move it and we
effected our capture so this is really
cool but this time I want to transform
it and make it a little bit narrow and
have this kind of effect there so this
is cool also for this part down below we
can again so I just want to rename this
is c4 cap shadow I don't need a copy and
I can do the same for exhaust pipes so I
can it's like both of them press ctrl
command G to group it and then rename it
okay and now press it whole out make a
copy clip to affect only the group to
clip a layer to effect only one layer
down below or a group you need to press
and hold alt or option key and click in
between those two layers or in between
layer and the group and now as you can
see I can move it and again I will
transform it make it more narrow and
like that and that's good and this is it
this is it with the
shadows now what I like to do to
emphasize this even more I want to go to
rocket body create a new layer and name
it shadow as number two so I want write
whole name so as for shadows and then I
will use black color really soft brush
and maybe even three percent opacity and
just just paint those edges a little bit
more just like that nothing special just
want to make those edges here of the
body a little bit darker so that's good
okay now what what we can do we can make
other part of the rocket brighter but in
this case I want to make outer part
brighter I will assume that this is
already bright because it's brighter on
the left side we will just add some
highlights and some rim light on that
one thing that I didn't mention before
you start doing the shaping the lighting
on the rocket you need to decide from
which side the light is following on the
rocket so let me quickly just show that
let's create a new layer this is just
for example and I want my life to come
from this direction so light is coming
from this direction that means that this
part of the rocket will be darker and
this wing too and this part too and this
side of the wing etc and this part of
the rocket will be brighter and of
course this wing and this part there
part of this being part of the window
this one be darker this will be brighter
etc so this is how I like to shape my
rocket you can choose other direction
maybe you want to choose that light is
coming in the front of the rocket so
that means that let me just delete this
so that means that this part will be
darker and this part will be darker okay
just the edges there and this part in
the center will be bright also this and
this will be bright etc so only these
sides will be brighter darker so just
decide from which direction the light is
coming and then paint the light in that
way so as I already told you my light is
coming from our right side so this is
how we will do and now I want to add
some highlights on the rocket so first I
like to change the background I don't
like this bright white color so I will
go back to the background press shift
backspace and choose 50% gray and just
fill it with that I just want to have a
neutral gray color for for this example
okay
later we can change any color that we
want so now let's go to a body layer and
let me show you one really cool trick we
can create a new layer and name it
highlight h1 highlight one then use
white color softer brush like that and
we can just paint with 100% opacity you
can just paint like rim light right
there but I will not do like that I will
show you one really cool and easy way
how to precisely paint that rim light I
already did that in several tutorials
but I will go again through this but
before that I want to make selection of
the rocket body so let me see I don't
want wings I want just cap body and
exhaust pipes and that's it I will group
that press ctrl command G and name this
rocket body and also I will right-click
and choose the color red because the
rocket is red it's just easier for me
later
because we will have a lot of players to
find find rocket layer also guys one
note this tutorial is a little bit
longer but it's really easy to create
this kind of rocket it takes maybe
around 10 minutes to create it from
scratch when you know what you're doing
but of course the tutorial is much
longer because it's me showing you
slowly detail it or steps what you need
to do but when you cut in the shape of
doing this rocket 10 minutes probably
it's enough so let's go back to the
tutorial okay now what we need to do is
to make the selection of the body of the
rocket so press and hold ctrl or command
key click on this then click on a cap I
made a selection a cap then I want to
add to the selection so I need to press
and hold shift and ctrl or command on
Mac then find the body add that and go
right there and add those two elements
too so we have this as a selection and
now I want to narrow
this selection so I want to make it
smaller to contract it so for that we
need to go to select modify and contract
five pixels is probably okay for this
size of documents all those numbers vary
on the document size so let's press ok
as you can see I have narrowly selection
that's cool but now I can feather it a
little bit so I can go select modified
fatter and 10 pixels it's ok advise of
the contract value it's pretty good ok
and now what I need to do create new
layer about the rocket body ok right
there
clip it to affect only the rocket body
and now if I paint with white color you
will see I am painting inside of the
rocket I don't want that I want to paint
paint outside of the rocket so I need to
invert the selection to do that I need
to press ctrl or command I and now I can
paint right there as you can see really
nice cool rim light and when I'm done
with this I can deselect and then create
a mask on this rim light ok and with the
black brush really slowly remove
unwanted parts so here I don't want from
here to here and also I don't want this
part at all so need to be precise like
like that and as you can see this is now
not so feathered as this part right
there but we will fix it I can just
select with lasso - I can just select
this ok and then go inside and just
delete without affecting the other
things that's really cool trick and also
right there I can use the lasso tool and
just oops and just select this and this
because I don't want to affect this part
down below and just you raise it and
this is really really cool
a trick to do this carefully also if you
cannot achieve the same fairness as we
had there there is another cool trick
like my shoulders really quickly can go
with a blur tool go with the strength up
to just you learn this and Dad you will
have similar fairness but it doesn't
matter to be like 100% precise because
we will see we will lower the opacity of
that etc so here I just want to remove
this okay and that's almost it now let's
lower the opacity a little bit and this
is really really cool so this is just a
rim light we are getting there we're
making this rocket to look like it's a
3d object next thing that you I want to
do is add some reflections on the rocket
because I will assume that this is
really shiny bright metallic texture the
rocket has so we need to add some
reflections there so to do that again we
will go with group we'll clip everything
to affect the whole rocket body so new
layer name it reflection number one okay
and use a pen tool and now I want to
just need to create the shape of
reflection probably probably something
like this is something like this and
then something something like this is
cool
make selection out of it and then fill
it with a white color so this is really
cool maybe I can delete this part why
not and also I can make this bigger ctrl
command T and just move it up also I can
go right click work and move this
however you want it's completely up to
you have all the freedom there alright
and now what I like to do I like
blur this a little bit so filter blur
Gaussian blur and just a little bit okay
like maybe like that and then lower the
opacity to 40 or so something like this
is cool
and also I want to play with this let's
create a layer mask and let me share I
just want to whoops I just want
elliptical actually rectangular marquee
tool and I just want to select this I'm
holding spacebar to move the selection
so something like this and then I like
to narrow these these edges of
reflection so with the mask painting
with black brush just just narrow this
because this is how I like to be and
this is already really cool another
thing that I like to do just below
everything actually I can do in the
middle of those two I can create a new
layer this will be shadow okay like a
big shadow and I will use for that
elliptical marquee tool and just create
big ellipse like this and fill it with
black so I know I ruined the photo by
don't worry this will this will even add
to the effect so now I want to transform
this so ctrl or command T then
right-click work and just just transform
this I want to go from this peak this
point and let me see this is cool
probably something like like this why
not this is completely optional guys
this is just a big shadow up on the dark
side of the moon or the dark side of the
rocket so far side of the rocket so this
is cool now we need to fatter it so
again filter blur Gaussian blur and zoom
it a little bit so probably something
like this then lower the opacity a lot
so I just want to have this big shadow
here that's really cool
and now what I like to do I like to add
more reflections in the shadows so if
the object is in the shadow that doesn't
mean that you cannot see the reflections
there you can see the reflections there
too so I will add but more subtle
reflections it will help with the shape
so let's create a new layer and I will
rename it reflections number two clip it
to effect only this layer and I will use
the pen tool again everything is the
same from here this time I will go to
here something like this and probably
something like that
guys this is completely completely
optional you can choose whatever you
want whatever shape you want enough
filling with the white and again ctrl
command T right click warp it and then
you can just can just change shape the
size of the reflection so you can play
with it however you want ok and now I
want to blur this again filter blur
Gaussian blur and this time I want to
blur it more than this one ok maybe
maybe maybe like this I know ok like
this and then I want to lower the
opacity a lot probably around 20 or so
something like this and also I will make
a copy of this controlled mange and name
it reflections number 3 make it smaller
with ctrl command T put it right there
and 4 bit even more like that and I will
barely make it visible just like that so
this is really really cool we already
have this really nice cool shape of the
rocket but we are not done yet so next
step what I like to do is to go back in
the rocket body group and go here on the
exhaust pipes and create a new layer
above it above it right there clip it to
effect only that oops it's already
clipped so now I want to name it shadow
shadow number two because this is not a
body shadow
I didn't rename it this is he four
exhaust pipes and this is it this is
shadow number two and here I want to
make this part dark or it may be three
percent opacity and really soft brush I
want to add even more shadows here okay
especially this part right there
okay actually this part I will just
delete it with 10% opacity so something
like this is cool and now we are top
here just for now and let me see I just
want to fix this this reflection up
there so this is reflection number two
yes I will add a layer mask and just
erase the part that is coming right down
below so I don't need it that's good so
this is already much much better the
next step is to play with the wings so
let's go on this one the right wing and
let's collapse the group and I will do
the same I would create a new layer clip
it name it winged shadow okay
and I can use again gradient black to
transparent and just add a little bit of
the shadow something something like this
but mmm so subtle you will see and I'm
not satisfied with that probably
something this and I will lower the
opacity a lot so maybe even like this
angle okay and then lower opacity this
is cool and I will add a new layer this
is highlights number one clip it effect
only that and then I will add those rim
lights on the wing to so for that I will
again select the wind control click on
the wing got a select modify contract
five pixels select modify feather ten
pixels that's cool
invert the mask shift control I of shift
I on a Mac and then with the white brush
100% opacity just this paint here okay
this is it
so just just paint right there I will
deselect ctrl or command D create the
mask and with the black brush I just
want to delete the parts that I don't
want to be affected like this here and
and careful like this okay this is cool
I will lower the opacity like that and
probably on the rim light right there I
can lower the opacity a little bit more
we'll play with this layer a little bit
more and then I will go again create a
new layer for shadow number two this is
wing W winged shadow number two make
sure to name layers because later you
will have a lot of problems finding the
proper layer I'm naming it like this
because I will know that this is W for
wing as for shadow number two for second
shadow etc so how everyone just name the
layers I will use black brush really
soft one and maybe again three percent
opacity and just paint right there a
little bit odd K and this is cool hmm we
will see you later
what we will do maybe we will shape it a
little bit better but for now let's go
and change the left wing selecting again
the same this is wind shadow so let's
put L for left wing shadow and again I
will use gradient too
and this time I will go like this so
this is cool I really like it I will
create a new layer this is wing L left
wings shadow number two okay
and I will use really soft black brush
low opacity and just add it here and so
this is really good we already have much
better result of this racket so let's
add let's add shape to the middle wing
so let's select mil wing again I will
create a new layer this is middle wing
shadow layer okay and then this side
this side will be darker and just build
your shadow don't like don't use like
maybe ten or twenty fifty percent
opacity brush if you want to rush up and
to build a shadow faster it will be much
better if you take your time with these
things and you will make better result
trust me so just build the shadow this
is cool we can blur this a little bit so
filter blur Gaussian blur blur shadow a
little bit I like it so let me show you
before and after the subtle result and
also I can add a layer mask and delete a
shadow from here okay and then create a
new layer and this is highlight so
middle wing highlights number one crazy
names I know but I can handle it so you
can rename it however you want and now
we will do the same thing ctrl click to
load a selection of the middle wing then
go here to select modify you know drill
contract then select modify feather okay
invert the selection shift ctrl I or
shift command I on a Mac and just paint
wait 100 cent opacity white color so
this is it this is it this electrode man
D create mask and just with the black
brush delete like that right and here I
wanna lead this this is really cool now
I I can I can blur this actually so
filter blur Gaussian blur just to make
this a little bit
actually I'm blurring the masks sorry so
make sure to blur the layer filter blur
Gaussian blur and you can see better
result also I can lower the opacity and
there we have it we have our 3d wing too
so next thing that we're missing here is
the shadow from that wing this wing will
cast shadow right there on the body and
on this this part of doing so to do that
we need to go all the way up about the
left wing right there let's create a new
layer and let's rename it middle wing
shadow on the rocket or mws ot our if
you want to rename it like that but this
is good right and now I will use the pen
tool just click here and draw the shadow
from this something like this maybe too
much so try to make like this shape this
is almost straight so something like
this right then here we want to create
this kind of shape so so probably it
will go even more like this even more
straight from here to here and then to
here from here to somewhere here I'm not
sure where but your improvised whoops
actually probably somewhere here
something like like this so nobody will
know that this is not maybe one high
percent okay and then probably from
somewhere here you can just make it less
perfect too somewhere here like that and
then we will just make a selection fill
it with a black color and that's it as
you can see really cool shadow perfect
shadow no we need to delete unwanted
parts so what I like to do I like to
make selection of the middle ring so
ctrl or command click on the middle ring
then whoo
shift and ctrl or command left-wing and
of course the rocket body so here it is
that's why I made it read to know where
it is and this and then I like to make
mask right there okay and also again
control or command click on the here on
the middle ring and just fill it with
the black just fill it with black and
this is our shadow now I will make this
shadow a little bit more blue so make
sure you're on a layer not on mask
filter blur Gaussian blur and this is
cool this is pretty cool and you're
probably aware from some of my tutorials
that shadows are not equally blurred on
the whole shadow so parts that are
closer to the object that is casting the
shadow there those parts are more harsh
and the parts that are further away from
the objects are more blurry so we will
use blur tool and just make these parts
a little bit blurry and also the mask we
need to blur the mask mask actually so
you can spend a little bit more time
tweaking this but for now this is okay
and I will lower the opacity a lot
something like something like this
probably and also I will use black brush
really soft one and maybe 10% opacity
but brush not blurred oh maybe 10%
opacity just to make this part a little
bit brighter because the life will fall
there more than right there so this is
this is really cool as you can see guys
we already have really cool shape of the
rocket the next thing that we need to do
is to play with the window now we will
create a 3d version of this window and
that's really fun
fast and easy way to do it it's really
cool technique so let me show that let's
select the window okay it's right there
and double click on the layer so we have
layer style dialog box appears and what
we need to do here is to play with some
shadows so I want to add a drop shadow
you can choose the strength of the
shadow you can choose the distance of
the shadow probably something like that
and then sighs the the blurriness of the
shadow saw I will make it a little bit
more blurry too much but something like
that lower the opacity probably this is
cool and the distance I think this is
cool too so this is the shadow from the
ring then we need to create impression
that this is a 3d ring of the windows so
we need to go with inner shadow you can
you can use battlin ambos too but I will
go with inner shadow and as you can see
we can play the light direction but we
need the same light direction right
there okay
actually now opposite right there light
is coming from this direction so here
we'll hit first so this will be brighter
and this perfect will be brighter that's
cool and also you can play with the
distance depends how high how much depth
this window has so from this perspective
it would be probably like probably like
that and then again besides the
blurriness but I want this not to be so
blurry maybe just one pixel alright and
then what I like to do I like to make
this part left part of the window a
little bit darker so I need to add some
kind of gradient so here I have gradient
overlay that's cool put it on overlay or
soft light whatever you want probably
overlay here is good and then choose the
size and also you can just move here to
see how this will fit and play with the
opacity but I want to size all the way
and something like this that means this
is really cool really nice 3d object
just from these effects so if I delete
effects you will see circle ring nothing
special and with this really really cool
now we need to create a glass for this
we know it's really the solids did let's
create a new layer name it glass ok
choose the elliptical marquee tool and
just press the hold shift and just
position it something like that then
choose the color for it I will choose
some kind of bluish color right
something like that fill it with that
and then put this
the window okay and that's it almost now
we need to make an impression that the
glass is curved that it's 3d too so
again same thing I want to double click
on it and add a gradient overlay so this
is cool I can move it left and right now
we'll use soft light because it's a
little bit better for me I can lower it
a little lower the scale and then try to
move it something like that this is one
part other part is that I want to create
a new layer this is a glass highlight
number one gh 1 and click to effect on
the glass but we don't have a need for
clipping right now but I just want to
clip to have visually representation
that these two are together so I will
use a pen tool and just create
reflection ok something like that
something like that and probably
something like like this right I will
make selection out of it press D to load
default colors and fill it with white
if the while its foreground color like
this then you need to press and hold
ctrl or command key with the backspace
that's it now let's go to filter blur
Gaussian blur and blur this pretty much
like that or maybe more we will see now
we lower the opacity that's cool and
also I will create another layer this is
glass highlights number 2 gh to use
white brush maybe 40% opacity just add
this shiny dot right there okay just
like this this is really cool so maybe
to lower the opacity of gh1 or maybe to
blur it even more let's see filter blur
Gaussian blur
I want to blur it a little bit more and
I can make this even smaller press ctrl
Manti and just make it like that and
this is really really cool also guys
what I can do I can create a new layer
so gs1 you know glass shadow number one
black color
okay maybe three percent opacity brush
really soft one and then just just paint
just paint right I did okay
just there to add a little bit more
criminality to the image so this is
really cool taken over the past a little
bit and guys this is it our rocket is
almost 100% finished you can see how
beautiful it is
and it was like just a plain - the image
started from a sketch then filled with
the colors and just with the dodging and
burning just with the shadows and
highlights we made this really cool 3d
shape of rocket I really loved it I'm so
exciting of making this type of artwork
so now let's go and add some details let
me show you how really easily and
quickly you can add some holes to the
windows and some bolts the Rockets etc
so let's do that let's first create some
holes on the window this is really cool
and easy trick let's go above the window
create a new layer and just choose brush
really hard one like this and 100%
opacity so this is it now what we need
to do is to bring back our helper line
we pressed ctrl or command H to hide it
now we need to press the gun to bring me
back so ctrl or command H and here it is
and why I need it because I need the
center here so I want to make brush
smaller and the center the brush and
just click it right there maybe to move
it a little bit to the right like that
and this is this is it now I don't need
this anymore I can hide it again ctrl 8
or command 8 and then I will press ctrl
or command J to duplicate this dot right
and by holding shift I will just move it
up and then I will Lodge it to be on the
center on the window okay this is cool
now we need to group these actually to
select both of those dots and then merge
them together with ctrl or command E so
we have began one layer then make a copy
of those two dots ctrl or command J then
trance
or MIT ctrl or command T and then by
holding shift just rotate it and make it
90 degrees of the first two dots press
ENTER and then same procedure select
both of them merge it ctrl command E
ctrl or command J to make a copy of that
ctrl or command T to transform it press
and hold shift and just rotate it 45
degrees perfect perfect symmetry I
really love it and then again put those
two together merge it and name this
holes okay and now we need to add some
highlights on the horse to make
impression that this is really hole so
double click on this layer and just add
inner shadow and that's it inner shadow
change the direction of the light okay
maybe lower the brightness the opacity
and then the distance something like
this and this is it really really cool
way to add some holes you can add even
more details in those holes I will not
cover this right now this is just basic
because this tutorials already too long
I know but let's add a few more details
like bolts and we're basically done so
let's create a new layer and now let me
show you another cool trick let's sample
this color by having the brush tool
press and hold alt or option key sample
the color and place a dot right there
probably you cannot see that this is a
dot but if I hide the cap just real
quickly you can see there is a done
because it's similar color like the cap
what I like to do I like to collapse
this let's just first group all these
things holes windows and and and let me
see glass there one group I will do
group this controlled Mangia name window
okay and then let's go back here and now
I need to make 3d version of this bolt
so double click on that and there are
several ways let's this time use barrel
and emboss so this is it
now let's add some shadow drop shadows
so the distance is 2b and the size is
too big something like that slower the
distance maybe like that maybe just make
it 1 2 pixels spread in the size and
this is it this is one way how we can
make this neighborhood nice really nice
a nice really nice bolt okay and we can
play with the opacity we can play with
here on the barrel and emboss we can
play with the opacity of the highlights
so maybe 1k like that but I don't like
that probably this is cool
and also with the science we can change
maybe more pointy or more flat depend
what kind of shape you want probably
something like that this is it we're
done we just need now to paint on this
same layer with the brush sample color
actually I do symmetry so sample color
and click somewhere here so sample color
and click in the middle and just again
sample color and probably here and here
here and here
actually here and here okay now we can
go and do the same here so sample click
sample click go in the middle and just
maybe go again in the middle in the
middle and in between those this is
really cool and fast way to do this we
can go same down below so sample click
sample click and you can see guys really
fast easy way to add this kind of
details that's it
so this is basically it we are done with
rocket we are almost completely done of
course you can add even more details you
can build a scene you can add a sky can
add stars you can add some smoke and
fire from the rocket and a lot of a lot
of things that there can be
and I know that you want to see how to
add the smoke fire and sky and the stars
so I will do that right now so let's
continue with this fun episode so let's
go and add the sky let's go down below
but before we're doing that let's just
group everything everything right there
group and name name rocket ok and now
let's go down below add a nude solid
color layer and red is cool this is
really cool but I want to add some kind
of blue dark this saturated blue sky
probably something like that you can
choose whatever color you want and now
we need to add some stars so let's
create a new layer layer name it stars
ok and you need to use white brush and
just add some stars but there is a
better way to do it you need to go to
brush properties f5 and then go to brush
tip shape all the way up with the
spacing then shape dynamics all the way
up with size jitter scattering all the
way up with scattering and that's it so
now as you can see we have some realized
stars that don't just drag like that
just add again stars here and there like
this to have a little bit better effect
ok
and this is like really nice sky with
the stars we clear sky we can lower the
opacity to so this looks really really
cool right now and also we can add that
smoke down below and the fire so for
that I will use my favorite brushes my
smoke cloud oz brushes in case you don't
know how to create your own version of
these brushes you can watch my tutorial
about that right there and also if you
want to purchase my set of those brushes
you can go to my website the link is
down there in the description and you
can purchase them for just $1 so it's
your choice alright now I will create a
new layer name it smoke okay use a brush
and just choose my set of cloud those
brushes so I'll choose first this one
100% opacity and woohoo I will make some
clouds it's really really awesome so
probably something like this then I will
choose actually I will change the color
on the same layer I will switch between
black and white so now let's use black
it's really cool why just to add some
dimension you will see later
now I will switch to another brush right
there probably something like this
change the opacity play with the opacity
of the brushes and switch between black
and the white so to add that to your
smoke this is really cool and important
okay then I will go to third brush like
this and with that I would just add
those really nice feather fact right
there
also I can change the opacity and play
with that to change the color so just
play with it don't be scared to go with
paint with the black color than with the
white etc and also you can can just go
and change change the brushes so
whatever fits the best
to your idea so this is really really
really cool so this as you can see
really nice and I believe it like that
now let's add some fire okay I'll use
same brushes actually use this one the
second one and I will choose some colors
so some kind of yellowish and for
another color I will choose red soul
example this one and now let's let's
just paint with title 50% opacity just
paint the shape of of this fire
okay then change the brush to yellow 20%
opacity and then just add that yellow
then we can add some white sample the
white from the star as clouds and then
head like that and just play back and
forth with these colors so we need the
yellow again choose yellow why not okay
like this and of course you can spend a
lot more time making this fire fact it's
really cool as you can see so just enjoy
the process and
[Music]
that's it also we can go down here and
paint it white like it's covered by by
the clouds so maybe a little bit of
black maybe a little bit wide and this
is it and this is it guys our rocket is
done another thing that you can do is to
add some kind of material to the metal
of this rocket so maybe some kind of
scratches or some other metal texture so
I will just add some scratches and I
will stop there I promise so let's go on
a new document copy this photo of
scratch texture add it right there
controlled Monte I want to rotate it
transform it like that and flip
horizontal so like that okay I will clip
it to effect on in the rocket and this
is it we again have 2d silhouette of the
rocket we actually started from 2d and
made this really awesome effect so I
want to put it in a soft light okay and
as you can see we have a lot of
scratches here and there I can go and
create a layer mask and with the black
brush maybe 20% with this cloud brush
because it's not like perfect round
shape I just want to remove some
scratches from some parts and this is
really cool I don't want scratches on
the windows so I can use like elliptical
marquee tool select the window and just
delete actually paint it with black like
this and again I can just play with
masks and add scratches here and there
remove it but I will stop here I promise
so this is it guys this is almost the
final version that's one thing you can
add you can add on a background the
gradient overlay I want radio right like
this and this is this is cool so maybe
lower the opacity and and play with is
this is another way how you can just
make everything more interesting more
and more
focus on direct rocket etc so this is
our final image alright guys so this is
finally end of this long tutorial I hope
that you liked it and that you learn a
lot of interesting tips tricks and
techniques you saw how we started to
just sketch then fill that sketch with
color trace it with a pen tool fill it
with the color and then just using dodge
and burn just shadows and highlights we
made completely 3d model of the rocket I
really loved and enjoyed this process of
course you can use exactly the same
technique to other objects it does need
to be a rocket just play with it
point is to learn this technique and if
