Mixing the flowers in five minutes

This article will teach you how to mix colors. Photoshop is the best tool for this. Therefore, consider this action on its example. I will write about everything in detail, therefore to carry out all the actions for you will not make any problem.

To start, the program for mixing colors starts. Next, a new document is created, for example, 3000x3000 pixels and 300 dpi. These values are unprincipled, and you can change them. Now create a new layer, in which you need to lower the "opacity" value to 50 percent. Now we paint our images in clean contours. When the drawing is completed, the previous layer is to be deleted. Everything, we have an excellent clean drawing, with which we will work.

Create a new layer again. Change the mode "blending colors" to the value "multiply". After that, the colors of the lower layers are obscured, although black does not apply. Next, choose the color tone for your drawing. We take a hard brush and paint over the entire plane that we need. Then, using a rubber band with hard edges, we erase all the excess that went beyond the borders.

We have a drawing that is covered with the right color. Install the lock on our layer. Now we select the shade more darkly and use the same brush to shade the necessary places. We repeat the same action, but with a more shade of light.

Further, in order to carry out the mixing of colors, we must select the "smuge tool", which has soft edges. It is located on the toolbar. We set the "strength" indicator to 100 percent. The adjustment is located at the very top of the display. After that, we smear our colors so that we can get the right shape. At first, this process may seem complicated, but do not worry. If something goes wrong, you can always fix the picture.

But at this mixing of colors is not over yet. Although everything looks the way we wanted, we choose a tool called "burn tool". It is also located in the toolbar. Set the value of "midtone" and "exposure" to 35 percent, select a soft brush, then darken those areas, the shade of which, respectively, should be darker. This will give more depth to the shadows.

Next, use the "dodge tool", which is located in the toolbar. Set the values of "midtones" and "exposure", equal to 35 percent, with a soft brush, add a light area to the depth. If your task is to draw pictures for comics, then the last two actions you will not need.

Now we have to merge these two layers with each other. Once one layer is formed, you select a tool called "smudge tool" and work through our contour lines.

Next, use a soft gum to wipe the outline. After that we need to add details. Add a few sharp lines on the plane. Again, create the next layer, and then move it to the panel for the layer. All the spaces must be filled with the color we need.

At this mixing of colors is over. But this is only one technique of many. I hope you understand everything, and you succeeded. When you learn to mix without problems in this way, you can try the same task in a different way. Fortunately, there are enough materials, and you can always find them and take advantage of them.
