OK, in this lesson, we will be drawing a line puzzle
Let's call it a creative outline
It's called that because it's converted
from a real image into line work
to join them together
Before we start
make sure you have this document
the SatelideVan
I wanted a theme of a satellite van at the beginning
but both big cars and small cars appeared while drawing
then I just changed it into satellite van
There are two documents inside the SatelideVan folder
There are some pictures of cars in one document
and some that I think can be used as support frame
some that are more structured
also some satellites
which are mistakenly put in this document
There are some satellite signal towers in the other document
So the final result is going to look like this
I'm going to start by explaining to you what tools are used
I will quickly go over how to make this satellite car
First, drag the file in
I usually put PureRef on another screen
For your convenience, I will put it here
although it's narrower
I will let you see what my process is like
and where I put these reference pictures
So, let's say this is my second screen
and this one is the main screen for painting
Let's drag in the pictures
I put it like this
You can adjust the size that you can see clearly
After dragging the reference pictures
I'll just copy these photos into here
Make a new layer
Usually there will be a little bit complicated
because the information of some photos is different
Sometimes we need to convert the tools
It's not just using one tool
So I'll start by finding some pictures
I have forgotten which pictures and tools can be matched
I only have little impression
I will first select this van
If you are using Photoshop CC 2021 version
there will be a new tool called Object Selection Tool
So this tool can select the object smartly
but it has some drawbacks
Some of it are selected
because they are misunderstood to be part of the van
So we still need to do a little bit of trimming
It’s not enough just to select the shape
And now I'll just quickly explain it
If we don't have Object Selection Tool
we can use Quick Selection Tool or the Magic Wand Tool
But sometimes, the selection edge will be like this
because it can’t identify the edge of the object
It's quickly to do so
This is a simply demonstration
Some parts will be more difficult
Let's look at this first one
What tools will be used
Click Filter, and click Filter Gallery
Then we select Sketch
We can use Note Paper, Photocopy or Torn Edges
What I use most is Note Paper and Torn Edges
We can make adjustments here for details
which affects the light and shadow effects
Don't adjust the second slider too much
because we need clearer lines
just like this
Make the front of the car visible
It won't always be the same settings, so we need to try more
We can also adjust this one to get the effect we want
Don’t adjust the Graininess of Note Paper too high
because it will become grainy, so adjust it to 0
Let's compare these two
It depends on the personal like
They can be used in conjunction with each other
I’ll choose this one because there are more details
Press Ctrl+U and adjust the Saturation down
make it black and white
Then we will add Stroke in Layer 6
Select the same color for Stroke Color
Then adjust the size smaller
Don't make it too thick
Now we can see the lines
It is the same for the rest
We can see the effects
We will adjust the values
I'll leave this one like this
I will explain it when I demonstrate later
Some pictures that are adjusted can be constantly used
but some can't
So we need to adjust more
This effect is okay now
There are a lot of things to look at
In this way, we can turn a photo into a sketch
Use Levels to adjust the light and shadow
So it's like this basically
That’s all for the skills and tools that we will use
Later on, we will have a quick look
at the making of these cars with satellites
and it will look like this
I have made the draft
because it takes about half an hour
The advantage is that
if the client asks you to draw a satellite car
he or she may ask you to draw some shapes first
then move on to the design
If you are in a hurry but the style is already defined
then you will be quickly know the design of this car
It is possible to do this in an hour or two
This one is quickly drawn but a little rougher
OK, let's go to the demonstration process for this
