Greeting

Hello, nice to meet you.

Since I started Crysta, I have taken care of various people's tips.

I've posted this for the first time in the hope that I can help you with something.

It is a tip for beginners.

Steps to make ripples

1) File> New> Create a canvas of any size.

――

I created 2800 x 2400 px.

 

2) Select layer 1 and fill it in gray with the fill tool.

 

Gray selected 40% ash (H:0 S:0 V:60).

 

3) Use the sub tool (highlight) of the airbrush tool to create a shadow with a darker gray than 2).

2) Place the highlight in a lighter gray.

 

　I placed three shadows on the right side of the center. *50% ash (H:0 S:0 V:50)

　I put two highlights on the left side of the center. * Ash 30% (H:0 S:0 V:70)

 

It looks like this ↓

4) With Layer 1 selected, from the menu

Select Filter> Deformation> Zigzag.

 

Please adjust the rotation and the number of waves appropriately.

Since I wanted to create one ripple in the center, I selected "Apply to all" for the range.

 

*When creating ripples outside the center

Set the range to "Specify size (use radius and flatness)".

Change the size with the radius, and put the "x" mark at the position where you want to create a ripple

Please move it.

 

My settings are as follows.

5) Add a new layer (Layer 2) and fill it in blue with the fill tool.

 

6) Set the layer 2 composite mode to overlay.

 

 

7) Add a new layer (Layer 3), sub tool of the Gradient Tool (Day Sky)

Select and add gradation from top to bottom.

 

8) Set the layer 3 composite mode to overlay and opacity to 70%.

It is a simple ripple.

Please make it if you like ♪

arrange

Arrange the data created above.

CLIP STUDIO ASSETS has a lot of wonderful materials.

Let's use it and arrange it more and more!

 

1) Select Layer 1 from the menu

Select Filter> Effect> Illustration style.

 

　I moved the slide of "Number of color gradations" to the right a little.

Please adjust to your liking.

It became illustrative.

 

2) Paste the watercolor texture.

Put it on the top by dragging and dropping and set the opacity to 50%.

――I feel good like watercolor.

 

I used the following texture materials.

*Watercolor textures are open to the public even though they are free.

Please look for it in CLIP STUDIO ASSETS.

3) Add a layer (layer 4) and draw a goldfish.

 

4) Add a layer (layer 5) and draw a bubble.

――

Place the layer 5 bubbles under layer 4.

Drag layer 5 and move it below layer 4.

――It feels good.

 

I used the brush below to draw a goldfish.

(I made a brush for this TIPS.)

*Goldfish brushes are open to the public even though they are free.

Please look for it in CLIP STUDIO ASSETS.

 

 

I used the brush below to draw bubbles. Brush material "Bokeh" is used.

*If you want to draw with the default tool, use the decoration tool

I think it's good to use the "Howa" sub-tool "Effect/Direction".

‥

5) Paste the watercolor texture on the goldfish.

Clip the lower layer (Layer 4) to make the opacity about 15%.

 

If you paste the same texture on the goldfish, it will blend in well with the background and feel good.

 

 

It turned out to be something like this.

 

 

6) Add the shadow of the goldfish.

Select layer 4 (goldfish layer).

Set multiple references in the reference layer in the tool properties of the automatic selection tool,

Select the outside of the goldfish.

Invert the selection range so that only goldfish are selected.

7) Add a new layer (Layer 6) and fill the part selected above with black.

8) Select layer 6 and move the goldfish diagonally upward to the left with the operation tool.

9) Cancel the selected range.

10) Select layer 6 and drag it to the top of layer 1.

Set the opacity to 40%.

This completes the arrangement!

 

I drew it for beginners, but I'm sorry if it's hard to understand.
