Cool, huh? Now grab a Brush and choose options for it as shown below (low Flow is a key for good blending). Everything you’ll draw on this layer will stay within the Base’s borders. Use Crop Tool (C) to make your canvas bigger and place the reference next to the Base and the sketch.Ĭreate a new layer between the Base and the Sketch, then open its menu and choose Create Clipping Mask. From now the reference should be there just for looking – no more tracing, or you won’t learn anything. Don’t dive into details yet!Ĭhange the Base’s Opacity back to 100%. Create a new layer and grab your favourite brush to sketch basic lines. Lower the ‘Base’ layer’s Opacity to 25% so that you can see what’s behind it. Now create a new layer and use Paint Bucket Tool (G) to fill the selection with some basic color of fur (you can pick it from reference with Color Picker (I)).
Sometimes you’ll have to guess a selection for an area hidden in the source file (look at the paws).
This is how it should look after finishing the selection.īasically, we just set a border between wolf’s body and everything else. Generally I prefer other selection methods, but for this example the lasso tool is perfect because it’s most similar to free-hand drawing and you’ll get natural hair tufts this way. It’s good to draw small parts at once, so that you don’t lose your work when something goes wrong. Choose Lasso Tool (L), make sure you’ve got “Add to selection” option turned on and use the tool to “draw” the general shape of the wolf’s body. Open the reference photo in Photoshop and save it as your new file. You’ll be taken through the steps to create a realistic wolf using a photo reference and some creativity.Īs always, this is the final image that we’ll be creating:įirst you need a good reference photo of your subject.Ī good reference should be sharp and a large resolution (I found mine on one of deviantART’s stock site – see the resources section above).
