Photoshop to create an art of black and white illustrations

The net effect



1, first open a new file. I use the file is large, there are 300 pixels. So that I will be able to print it out later. Now the first one to introduce texture.

2, reduce the saturation texture, and then double-click the layer into the Blending Options panel. Here you need to set the mode to overlay, transparency, 80%, and a gradient of white to black, the ratio of 129%.



3, the introduction of grain 2, only the texture extracted from the cracks. To reduce the saturation layer and then use the Eraser tool (E) to erase the excess.



4, cutting out the crows from the image and import into your document. Then check your images, think you will Zenmo change the images, and you need to maintain the original image. At present, the Dodge image in order to make it look better, copy the" The Raven" layer and reduce saturation, and then set the layer to Multiply, slightly lowered opacity.

5, once again copied layer. Done as before and then set the layer to Multiply, transparency of 40%. Similarly, you need to add some shadows in the image and glory of the use of deepening and Dodge Tool (O).



6, now we have completed the first editor of a crow. Now merge all layers crow. Then at the top to create another set of layers, the next round of editing will be applied here. Crow has taken shape, but we need to make it look better. Step 5 Copy the last one you have created layers to deepen the crow crow. Let us now return to its blue eyes. In" The Raven" to create a mask layer, and as long as the duplicated layer, a pen in the eyes of brushing up the black areas show its color. You can also select and use some color settings to make them look more prominent.



7, we are almost ready to crow that we need, now add some brushes. In" The Raven" below to create a new group. In this group, each group, a layer of brush. So you can under the circumstances of each group in different places, taking into account the figure below.

8, in this step, we must continue to increase in feathers, but this time you need to extract the images provided by feathers. Open the image you want to extract the feathers, to choose> range or color. With the red-eye tool to select the color you want. Sometimes, such a result would be a mess, but you have to try to choose the shape you want to feathers. Anti-selection, copy it. As you can see in the picture below, I used it twice, with their large areas of coverage.

9, continue after the crow's feather brush to add more, this time covering the crows around .







10, continue to add more feathers in the crows around until you have all the empty part of the coverage. Should also increase the other crows, but this one will be a relatively small but also to reverse.

11, then you have completed the pen Brush this part. Next, using the same extraction method prior to extract the background image in each of a feather. This is what I've seen some of the most difficult, and in this tutorial is very difficult to extract the feathers. Here is an extract from the image feathers example.
1, erase the image of the other parts of the feathers off the color.

2, the use of Levels to make feathers whitening. Use select> color range, copy feathers.

3, convert images to black and white mode, anti-vote for it (the command key + I), and then repeat it, set the copy to superimposed.

12, now, I have extracted the feathers I need, I will use it for a crow's head on, and then add some brush around it.



13, feathers the next step using the same image to create a punk hairstyle.

14, now we will be adding more feathers on a crow. Again, from the background image using the same technique extracts these feathers, feathers and then placed in the appropriate place.
