Bubble Tea
Hello everyone!
This time I’m doing a Bubble tea game object
Of course you can use this technique or object for other illustrations as well
I`m starting off with a rough sketch, it dosen’t need to be perfect , just have a broad idea of how you want the object to look like
After that, on different new layers, let make the lineart, and on a different layer add color for each object
Use the symmetry tool if you want
You can also draw the staw straight, and rotate if afterwards
As we did before, on different layers use simple shapes to have a basic form
We will clip different layers on these, so you wont lose the shape and you won’t have to redraw them
Now hide all the layers you don’t need at the moment
Use the lasso tool to select different parts on the glass and start adding highlights
For the transparency effect, just use a bit of the eraser (like the back of the glass)
Don’t erase too much otherwise the drink will be see-true (which is good if you want a more clear liquid, however in this case, the liquid is very dense)
Continue adding details
As before, select different parts of the glass, like the rim of the glass, and on a new layer start adding more highlights and shadows)
You can spend as much time or as little on these steps
By keeping the elements in different layers, you can easily change colors if needed (for example I can change the transparent glass to a more red tone if I want)
Color of the liquid can also easily be changed at this stage
It is time to work a bit on the background
I just added a color, and using the airbrush I made a few shadows
You can also use lasso tool in combination with the blur effect to have a soft transition
For the ice cubes, I just made one, used the eraser tool for the transparency effect, and the Lasso tool to add lines on the corners
After that, I duplicated the cube a few times and rotated it to have an interesting composition
Let’s add some effect to the liquid
I selected the liquid, used the airbrush to add a lighter color on a new layer, and a darker color on a different layer, then used the smudge tool- or the finger tool to make different vertical curved lines
I also used this tool to broke the roundness of the tapioca elements
Now let us work on the staw, and this one is a bit easy, just add a highlight with the airbrush,and a darker color using also the airbrush
Now I wanted the background to have a warmer feel to it, so I used the color balance to change it a bit
I also added a few dots in combination with the gaussian blur for a more scenic look
At this stage, I decided I wanted the glass to be just a bit taller
So I merged everything that was the glass and its content, duplicated it on a new layer, and erased parts of it. I also redid the shadow
This doesn’t work all the time, but in this case, it seemed to be fine
And here are the images side by side
Thank you for checking out this post!
See you next time~
