You can also use the layer colors in the upper left corner to visually organize the space. To organize the layers, create a folder and put in it the 4 layers you have created for the earth element. For this, use the Soft Airbrush tool again. Select the “Front” layer and lock the transparent pixels to apply an orange tone to the layer to simulate natural light. Create a new layer with the name “Side” and keep working on it with the India ink > Brush pen with a color lighter than the background but darker than the left plane. Next, repeat the steps to draw the right vertical plane. It is important to place this layer between the first two: Lock the transparent pixels and with the airbrush add a different color, this time lighter, in the upper area.Ĭreate a new layer with the name “Front” and paint the vertical planes of the rocks. Now repeat the second step that we did in the first layer.
On this layer paint some lighter horizontal spots to represent a horizontal plane, similar to the ground. Now create a new layer on top which we will call “Surface”. Next, lock the transparent pixels and, with a 170 px Soft Airbrush tool, paint the lower area in a dark brown. This time we will use the India ink > Brush pen tool, as it has a more irregular shape and will be helpful for drawing our rocks. Start by creating a new layer and draw the basic shape with a brown color. The steps for this second element are similar to the previous one. This is one of the best methods to organize your workspace. To do this, click the New Folder button to the right of the New Layer button and drag the layers into it. Just keep in mind that its colors will be darker than those of the foreground:Īs you can see in the Layer palette, I created a “Water” folder to put the 5 layers we have been working with in. The first is to better blend the hard edge with the blue water using the India ink > Dry ink tool:Īnd the second is to paint a few splash drops to add a more realistic touch.įinally, create your fifth and final layer and place it underneath to paint the background water. To improve the finish on this, let’s do two things. Next, create a new layer called “Foam” to paint the white ends of the shape using the G-pen tool with a white color. Now all we have to do is press the Del key. Once you have created the selection, invert it by pressing this button on the selection bar (or Ctrl + Shift + i) at the bottom: Now, to remove the unnecessary parts of the line art layer, go to the line art layer and click on the thumbnail of the base layer while holding the Ctrl key (Cmd on Mac) to create a selection. To do this, go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Just click on the name to rename it.Īdjust these new blue lines by applying a blur filter. Since we are working with several layers, I recommend you give them each names so you know what’s in each layer. Don’t worry even if the paint goes outside the lines we’ll fix that in the next step. Set the Blending mode on this layer to Lighten. Then, in a new layer, using the same tool but with a smaller brush size (around 17 px), add some subtle spots in a lighter shade of blue than the area below.įor this fourth step you’ll have to create another new layer and paint some blue lines with the G-pen tool similar to the ones below: I recommend you set the brush size fairly large with a density of 50% for the airbrush. Next, select the Soft Airbrush tool and apply a dark blue color on the top, and a greenish-blue on the bottom.
The function of this button is, as the name suggests, to lock the pixels that are not painted so that you can only work on the pixels that are already on the layer. Then press the Lock transparent pixels button in the Layer palette.
Then, with the G-pen tool set to a light blue color, paint the outline and fill it with the Fill tool. Now let’s start rendering the first element: water.įirst, create a new layer to draw the shape that will form the basis of your object. You can also set the background color if you want. Then, under Project, select Illustration, choose a landscape A4 format, and set the dpi to 72. Get your tools ready and let’s get started!īefore we start drawing the elements, the first step is to open a new Clip Studio Paint document. In this tutorial we will learn how to represent the four elements of nature: water, fire, air, and earth in a quick and easy way. In our illustrations, we have to face new challenges, and sometimes things that seem easy end up getting complicated, even when their eventual solution is actually pretty simple.
