A collection of the best computer programs for drawing art. Program for creating art: description and features How to make drawn art

Hello everyone, in this manual I will tell you how to make such art

What is needed:
1)Adobe Photoshop cs6, you can download
2) Straight arms
3) Photo with which we will work
Let's start:
Step one: photo selection. The photo must be at least 800x600 resolution so that it can be processed with high quality. I will use this photo

Step two: create a new transparent layer Shift+Ctrl+N
Step three: Let's start outlining the face. Choose a regular brush: size 1, hardness 100%, color black.
We put a point in the place from which we will begin to trace.

Hold down SHIFT and set the second point, a straight line will be drawn between these points, so make sure that the line runs along the contour of the place that we circle. It should turn out like this:

Step four: start filling.
Select the FILL tool, select the desired part of the photo, press ALT, an eyedropper appears, then fill the selected area. You should get it like this:

It's up to you to decide whether to outline background objects or not, I did not do this.
Step five: Here comes the most difficult choice, how you will draw the face, if you want to be as close as possible to the real photo, then go back to step 3 and circle the lips and nose.
Or you can make parts of the face with simple lines, I will do this. It should turn out like this: (I changed the skin color, because I didn’t like it).

Now the choice is yours, you can leave the black lines, or you can paint over them, and emphasize the chin more dark color skin.
Our art is ready, save the picture, brag to your friends.
I didn't try hard because I was tired.
I hope this article was helpful ;D

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a beautiful colored pencil drawing from a photograph, using artistic lines, gradients, noise effects to mimic an airbrush technique, and using standard tools to create a simple drawing design. Get out your tablet, open Adobe Photoshop, and let's get started.

1. Create a new document

Step 1

Create a new document in Adobe program Photoshop (I'm using CC 2014), set the dimensions to something like 8" x 10" at 300 ppi. The sizes of this document are arbitrary, so you can use your working document sizes that will fit your original photo or your design.

Open your original image. In this tutorial, I'm using the photo shown in the screenshot below, which can be purchased from the PhotoDune website. Select the entire image (Ctrl+A), Copy (Ctrl+C), and then Paste (Ctrl+V) the copied image onto our working paper. Reduce Opacity(Opacity) layer with the original photo to 60%, and then click the icon Saves everything(Lock All) to lock the layer.

Step 2

The brush we use to create the artistic lines is a modified standard brush. Go to bookmark brushes(Brush), in the settings select a hard round brush, set the angle and shape of the brush, giving a pointed ellipse and an angle of 39 ° or something like that. With this brush, we will give our lines a polished calligraphic look. In settings Form dynamics(Shape Dynamics), select Control(Control): Pen pressure size fluctuation(Size jitter).

2. Outline the facial features

Step 1

Create a new layer and use the brush you just created to start tracing the model's eyes. Use a dark shade, but not black. I chose a dark purple shade (#362641). I decided to start by stroking the eyelid, including stroking the outer corners of the lashes. I carefully traced the line, making it thinner towards the center of the face.

Once again, go over the drawn lines a couple of times to align them, make them thicker and more uniform. Don't worry about a lot of details. We will carefully outline the features of the face, so the details of the face will not overload the whole design of the drawing.

Step 2

Continue tracing the model's facial features. Draw a thin line representing the bridge of the nose, the nostrils (wings and nostrils), and the tip of the nose. To outline the lips, I used a thin line on the upper lip and a thicker line at the tips of the lips and also in the center of the lips. To simulate a shadow, use a thicker line under the lower lip.

Use the tool Eraser(Eraser Tool (E) for processing lines so that the lines are clear and uniform. This is why I work with a document with a resolution of 300 pixels / inch: I can zoom in and up to the smallest details work on the art line.

Step 3

To outline the eyebrows, I increased the diameter of the brush in the brush settings Another dynamic(Shape Dynamics) tab brushes(Brush) and also installed Control(Control): Pen pressure(Pen Pressure) from the drop down menu below the option size fluctuation(Size jitter). Start drawing the eyebrows from the center of the face to the side in two strokes with the brush. Use the eraser to reduce the diameter of the same brush that we used.

Don't forget how the eyebrows look in the original photo. Perhaps you could carefully outline them, but in my opinion it is better to draw the eyebrows with a brush, which will make your lines dynamic and interesting.

3. Draw the earrings

Step 1

The earrings that are presented in this lesson are drawn using simple shapes and without the source photo of the earrings at hand. Let's take a brush and paint them now:

1. Draw a simple circle. You can also use the tool Ellipse(Ellipse Tool (U) because I know how imperfect a circle can be.

2. Copy the drawn circle, and then paste it on a new layer. Next, flip the duplicate layer horizontally, let's go Editing - Transformation - Flip Horizontally(Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal). With a tool moving(Move Tool (V), move the duplicate circle layer to the right. Merge both circle layers (Ctrl + E). Next, draw a straight line between the circles, hold down the (Shift) key so that the line is straight.

3. Draw short, straight lines from each side of the circle, and then with the brush, draw a curve from the left side point of the circle to the center line.
4. Draw the same curve on the right side.

Step 2

Continue drawing the heart earrings, using #ce3681 as the final stroke color for the lines:

1. Copy/paste the shape you drew in the previous step, scale down the duplicate layer by 50% or so. Place the duplicate shape in the center of the large heart shape. Merge both layers. With a tool Feather(Pen Tool), trace the outline of the heart from the top center point to the bottom center point.

2. Create a new layer. Select the brush, make sure it is the same pointed brush we set up earlier in this tutorial. Set the brush size to 4 px. Further, Stroke the path(Stroke Path) with the brush selected as the stroke tool ( Translator's note: further, the author will create a whole heart from a half of the contour).

3. Copy, Paste, Flip Horizontally a duplicate half of the heart outline. Turn off the visibility of the layer with the base sketch of the earring. Next, merge both layers with the halves of the heart outline to get the whole heart on a separate layer. Correct the contour of the heart with the tool Eraser(Eraser Tool) or Brush(BrushTool).

4. Copy, Paste the outline of the heart onto a new layer. Scale down the duplicate layer to get the inner center of the heart. Use the original layer with the base heart shape drawn to align the center part of the heart. Create a new layer and use the brush to draw a straight line from the bottom point of the inner heart shape. Draw another line perpendicular to the first line, pointing to the right side as shown in the screenshot below.

5. Complete the figure by drawing the third line.

Step 3

Create a new layer in the layers palette. Next, using the tool Feather(Pen Tool), draw a simple figure plus sign using the rectangle you drew in the previous step. Delete the earring sketch/baseline layers, fine-tune the final earring design. Merge all the layers with the drawn fragments of the earring into one merged layer.

4. Finish tracing the portrait of the model

Step 1

Continue tracing the model's original portrait. IN this case, I decided from the very beginning to use the same hairstyle as in the original photo of the model. At this point in the tutorial, you can decide which details from the original photo you will use in your final design. Don't forget to draw parts of the model's image, such as hair, hands, etc. on separate layers so that these fragments can be easily edited in case you decide to change the design.

Step 2

Move the image of the earring to our working paper, positioning the earring as shown in the screenshot below. With a tool Ellipse(Ellipse Tool), draw small circles above the earring. Next, do Strokecontour(StrokePath).

Step 3

If you decide to change the model's hairstyle to be different from the original image, then the following steps will be helpful for you. Create a new layer and with a small diameter brush (the same pointed brush we used in the previous steps) start painting the curls of the hair. I started at the top of the head, drawing in curls of hair up to the model's eyebrows. If you wish, you can use another photo to sketch the hair style.

Step 4

To make it easier for you to draw the hair, turn off the visibility of the original model layer. Next, create a new layer and then draw lines to define the shape of the model's head, taking into account the features of the model's face. This allowed me to get the right angle of the styled hairstyle. Next, I deleted the help layer with sketches of the contour lines, because. I don't need him anymore.

Step 5

I have completely finished tracing the model image. Notice how the lines thicken closer to the outer outline of the image and become more arbitrary than those drawn within the outline of the image (particularly the hair line). Once you have finished tracing the contour lines, merge all the layers, delete any helper layers with outline contour lines, and get ready for the next step, to create an airbrush effect.

5. Paint the model's portrait

Step 1

My base color for this design is pale pink #ecd4f6. Create a new layer. With a tool Feather(Pen Tool), circle the outline of the model image. Once you have closed the path, fill the selected shape with the specified color.

Step 2

Create a new layer on top of all other layers and then use the Gradient(Gradient Tool (G), gradient type Linear(Linear), drag the gradient diagonally. The gradient colors I chose are yellow, pink, purple.

Change the blending mode of the gradient layer to Soft light(Soft light). I turned off the visibility of the pink fill layer so you can see the effect of the gradient layer in the screenshot below. This effect will be more obvious in the next step.

Step 3

I highly recommend using gradient colors that complement the base fill color you chose for your model's skin color. In this case, we are talking about pastel colors. With a tool moving(Move Tool), move the pink fill layer down and then slightly to the right to create an offset from the contour line.

Translator's note: move the color fill using the direction keys, i.e. move the fill with the arrows.

Step 4

Create a new layer below the colored layers. Choose a tool Brush(Brush Tool), in the brush settings, select the standard brush Chalk(Chalk), also reduce Opacity(Opacity) brush up to 60% and also reduce Pressure(Flow) brushes up to 75%.

Step 5

Using a lighter shade such as yellow (#fffdda), paint in strokes around the outline of the model image. I use this step to add a new color cast to the sketch by adding texture to the painting.

6. Add soft colors

Step 1

Create a new layer above the pink filled outline of the model image and below the layer with the contour lines. Using the brush, select the chalk brush, paint over the earrings, and also carefully paint over the outline of the eyes of the model. Next, let's go Filter - Noise - Add Noise(Filter > Noise > Add Noise). Apply the settings for this filter to your liking.

In the filter settings, I set the amount of noise to 10%, selected the type of noise distribution Uniform(Uniform), and also ticked the box Monochrome(Monochromatic).

Step 2

Create a new layer on top of the layer you created in the previous step. Choose a tool Gradient(Gradient Tool), set radial gradient(Radial Gradient), gradient colors from the foreground color to transparent, where the foreground color is white.

Add a slight radial gradient to the model's lips. Do the same for the model's eyes, lightening the shadows on the eyes. Use the eraser tool to hide the white gradient effect behind the eyes and lips.

Step 3

Let's use soft gradients to simulate paint spraying on the model's body.

1. Create another new layer. With a tool Gradient(Gradient Tool), add small soft radial gradients purple(#9e57d7) on the model's shoulder and arms.

2. Reduce the opacity of the tool or layer if you find the gradient color too saturated.

3. Loosen the gradient on the chest, where the hand touches.

4. Using the tool moving(Move Tool), move the purple gradient down and slightly to the right, just like we did in Point 5, Step 3.

Step 4

In the same way that you added a white gradient to the model's face, we will also add the same effect to the hair. Create a new layer on top of the other gradient layers. Using the Radial Gradient, gradient color from white to transparent, draw soft gradients on the model's hair. Hide the areas of the gradients whose color is on the face.

7. Draw butterflies

Step 1

Create a new layer, then with a radial gradient, gradient color from foreground color to transparent. I used various shades of purple, blue, turquoise and Pink colour, adding a spray effect around the model's head.

1. Using a tool Arbitrary figure(Custom Shape Tool), draw a butterfly. Next, bookmark contours(Paths) and in the bottom bar, click the button Load path as selection(Load Path as Selection). Copy/paste the copied butterfly shape along with the color gradient.

2. Being on the color layer filled with a gradient, draw more butterflies. Load active selection of drawn butterflies, copy/paste on a new layer. Vary the size of the butterflies, as well as their location, as you see fit.

3. Use a tool moving(Move Tool) to move the butterflies around the scene. Turn the butterflies, for this we go Editing - Transform - Rotate(Edit > Transform > Rotate). Once you are satisfied with the location of the butterflies, merge all the butterflies layers and then turn off the visibility of the color layer we created in the previous step.

8. Add a paint spray effect

Step 1

Create a new layer again. Add colored radial gradients around the model's shape. Also add a white radial gradient in the center of the image to diffuse the gradients themselves. On this moment, the painting looks like it has been sprayed with airbrush paint several times.

Step 2

Add noise to a new spray paint layer. Set the amount of noise to 10-15% and also select the type of distribution according to Gauss(Gaussian). Don't forget to check the box Monochrome(Monochromatic). Click the OK button to apply the changes.

Step 3

Position this layer below the layer with the pink fill of the outline of the image of the model. Note that after adding the noise, the painting looks like it was spray painted rather than just airbrushed onto the surface of the painting.

9. Add more patterns

Step 1

Create a new layer on top of the layer you created in Step 8. Using the tool Arbitrary figure(Custom Shape Tool), draw another shape selected from standard set figures. I chose a figure Flower Pattern 2(Floral Ornament 2) in patterns.

Draw the flower pattern in the upper right corner of your painting, overlapping the edges of your working paper.

Step 2

Select the tool again Gradient(Gradient Tool), gradient color from white to transparent, gradient type Radial(radial). Gently drag the gradient across the entire selection. The pattern is barely visible, so it's not as bright, and it's also not completely white.

Step 3

Repeat steps 1-2 of this Item. Add more floral patterns to the corner of your painting. If you wish, you can add floral patterns to the opposite corner of the picture, for this, copy, paste, rotate the floral patterns.

Congratulations! We have completed the lesson!

In this article, I will reveal to you a terrible secret, namely, you should not pay money for a fashionable pop art portrait. Why? Yes, it's very simple.) You are able to make it yourself, on canvas, with your own hands, even if not professional artist! And this is not a “magic pill”, you still have to work, but the whole process will be interesting, exciting and possibly captivating. How to make it?

DIY pop art portrait material:

1. We will work on canvas. It is sold in any art store. If you suddenly live in Moscow, read this article.

2. Brushes and paints. I suggest using acrylic paints(quick dry, colorfast, not the most expensive), and brushes of your choice (columns, synthetics, bristles).

3. A prepared sketch in the program (we covered this topic in the article). If you have any difficulties at this stage, contact any company that creates pop art portraits, they have a sketch for free), tell me what you plan to order, and they will make you a series of sketches. Sneak a little!).

4. A sharpened pencil, a piece of drawing charcoal or sepia (all this is sold for a penny in art stores).

The most interesting thing is that the portrait itself on canvas in any workshop will cost from 5,000 thousand rubles, but to make it yourself, with your own hands, will be no more than 1,000 rubles). How are you? So imagine what its cost is and how much people overpay!

Let's make a pop art portrait together on canvas?

Take your sketch in electronic format, and print in any printing house, which is full in any city. Printing will cost about 50 rubles. It is important that the size of the image on the sheet is the same as your canvas (which size will be up to you).

You have printed. We take this sheet of paper, turn it over and put it on the floor, or any flat surface. With our piece of charcoal or sepia (I use sepia) we begin to rub on reverse side paper until the surface is completely covered. Now, overlay this image on the canvas, so that your sepia or charcoal is in contact with the surface of the canvas. We fix it all with tape so that the paper does not move.
And with a sharp pencil we circle all the lines of our future pop art portrait.

We're filming everything. Voila!!!
No need to waste time drawing, worry about what will be similar or not similar. Now you are sure that it will be one to one as in the sketch. Forgive me brothers in art and numerous workshops, which I deprive of earnings. But the truth is that each of us can make a stylish portrait with our own hands. Well, the matter remains small. Mixing desired color, and just paint in the right place, as in the sketch. As a rule, in pop art style, the colors are not complex, but bright, and almost from a tube.

We paint over the ends of our portrait, wait 10 minutes, and that's it! The portrait that you made yourself, saving at least 4 thousand rubles, is ready!

Well, now, by the way, you can open a fashion workshop and earn good money). And believe me, absolutely anyone can do it in one day! I am confident in the result, but if something is not clear, you can call or write to the specified contacts on the site. Good luck to all!

We provide lessons for both beginners and experienced artists. Our drawing and painting studio is located on Tsvetnoy Boulevard in Moscow.

It is not necessary to resort to complex graphics to get an image with meaning. In this piece, freelance artist Tom Starley has used basic colors, shapes and brushes to create a well-balanced, euphoric mood with a hint of the fetal life theme. Technically, this is not complex pattern- most of the work is done by the photo itself, but the graphic additions enhance the emotions that are hidden in the original.

Lesson techniques will teach you how to skillfully apply the filter overlap(Overlay) and tool Selective correction colors(Selective Color) to change the mood of the photo. You'll also learn how to place shapes to maintain an abstract visual style, how to use brushes to create movement, and how to add depth. foreground. We will also use a great trick to highlight the hair.

Step 1

First download the In The Moment brush set and double click on it to install.

We need a shot of the model, preferably with a limited palette of tones. I took a nude shot from iStock.

Note: when choosing a photo, you can use the author's recommendation or make color correction of the image yourself, for example, using the Gradient Map.


Step 2

Double click on the background layer to unlock it. Create a new layer in Photoshop, drag it below the photo. Fill the layer with white. Everything is simple.


Step 3

Now we need to cut the model and paste it on a new layer while keeping the background. Select a photo, zoom in to 300% ( Ctrl+"+"), then press R by selecting the tool Feather(Pentool). Carefully create an outline around the model, ignoring the tousled strands of hair - don't be sorry, we'll bring them back later anyway.


Step 4

Once you've created a path around the model's body, right-click inside it and select Generate Selection(Make selection). Click OK. We will split the photo into two layers. Click ctrl +X to cut and ctrl +V to paste the selection on a new layer. Reduce opacity(Opacity) of the background layer to 64%.


Step 5

Now you can return the naughty strands of hair. Turn off all layers except the model. Choose a tool Finger(Smudge tool), use brush size 1 or 2, set Intensity(Strength) to 95%, then check the box Sample from all layers(Sample All Layers) on the panel Options(Options bar).


Step 6

Redraw the strands that you could not cut earlier. Moving in the direction of the hair, swipe with the mouse or digital pen along the cut ends, redrawing the hair (the more the better). When you're done, turn the layers back on.


Step 7

In this step we will add some color using the blend mode. overlap(Overlay) - it can be found either in the drop-down menu of the palette Layers(Layers palette), or in the menu Layers > Layer Style > Blending Options(Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options). Create a new layer, fill it with yellow (#ffff00), cut down opacity(Opacity) to 16% and set the blending mode overlap(Overlay). Mmm, lovely yellow shade.


Step 8

Create a new layer and use the tool Brush(Brush) by adding scattered soft touches of pink (#ffe02b1). Lower the opacity to 37% and set the blend mode overlap(Overlay). Repeat the process by painting the model's body with a blood red tint, adjusting the opacity accordingly. Also select overlap(Overlay). Group the layers and place them at the top of the document.


Step 9

Now that we've finished the background and added colors, we can start using abstract brushes and shapes. Instead of giving precise instructions on how and where to place these effects, the following steps and tricks will cover the basics from which you need to build on your work.


Step 10

Grab one of the paint splatter brushes found in the tutorial's materials. Create a new layer above the model and add a couple splashes around her back. I chose white, but you can use any color you like.


Step 11

Using the brushes from the materials folder, add more splashes and shapes around the model, placing them aesthetically. Vary the color, duplicate or rotate them, deform the brushes to fit the contours of the model's body. Make sure to create a new layer for each brush - this will give you maximum control. Also, this trick will allow you to remove any brush in the future.


Step 12

Now add a layer below the model and repeat the previous steps, experimenting with brushes. Try not to overdo it with effects - the less, the better. The main subject of the composition is the model, so make sure she doesn't drown in the effects. Don't worry about getting an exact match with my example, experiment and have fun.


Step 13

If you don't like the result, stop. Take a break, think, come back to work later and experiment until you get the desired effect. Personally, relaxing music helps me to tune in the right way. Try and make your elements smooth, as if they are really in the photo.


Step 14

Now that the color and shapes have been added, we need to create the circles of light that look like lens flares. Create a new layer above the model and set its blend mode to overlap(Overlay). Choose one of the spherical brushes, set pretty big size, then just click anywhere in the document.


Step 15

Repeat the following steps with smaller brushes. It's very simple but effective method and it's great for creating a sense of depth. Many of these effects are easy to apply, but they work great.


Step 16

You've added everything you need, and now the work looks great, but it would be nice to make the image stand out more. It may seem that some colors could be brighter, and some are not visible at all. In this case, use the panel Adjustment layers(Adjustment Layer panel) and add a layer Selective color correction(Selective Color) above all the others. It can be found on the menu Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color(Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color).

Step 17

Set the Selective Color layer so that it affects all layers below. This will allow you to easily change each color - go through the settings and adjust them to get the desired result. And now everything is ready. Save your work, brag to your friends and share it in the comments.
