of The Final Image
Step
1 – The Girl to be Queen
Open
a new document with the size 600 / 500 pixels. Open this beautiful
photo Girl.
Scale
the image to 70%. There is no need to keep the background so
carefully delete it. I usually use the Pen Tool (Paths) create a
selection and than delete it.
Step
2 – Room Sketch
OK
now I want to sketch the room to give you an idea of what we are
going to do next.
Create
a new group and put there all the 13 layers with the room walls ,
ceiling and wall details. Use the Pen Tool to draw this shapes.
In
the image below each shape has a number. I will atach a color to each
number :
So
for shape no. :
1
- color #b40202 ; 11 and 9 – color #8f0202 ; 10 and 12 –
color #700000 ;
4
and 5 – color #d81e1e ; 2 – color #bf0707 (to this shapes
I will add a heart pattern)
8
and 13 – color #c00e0e ; 6 and 7 – color #9d0606 ; (add a
stroke for this shapes , size 1 , color #6e0707
)
3
– color black (to this shape I will add a chess pattern)
Step
3 – Patterns and Textures for the Red Room
For
the three visible walls I will add a heart
pattern.
Download this pattern and load it into your photoshop file. So for
the shapes 2 , 4 and 5 open the Blending Options Window and add
Pattern Overlay:
To
make the walls more real I will add them a wall
texture.
Copy the texture and place it on the right side of the image .
Duplicate the texture layer , flip it horizontaly and place it on the
left side of the image. Select and delete the intersection area.
Merge
the two layers . Set the Blending Mode from Normal to Soft Light
100%.
I
will have to adjust the Brightness and Contrast as shown in the image
below:
Use
the Burn Tool to darken the corners af the walls. And than select the
floor and ceiling and delete the texture from this areas.
Now
copy the texture
for the ceiling.
Scale it to 70% and than rotate it 90 degrees. Than Skew the image :
Select
the ceiling shape , select inverse and delete the extra texture. Set
the Blending Mode of texture layer to Linear Burn.
Now
let’s fix the floor. Draw a rectangle . Add a Pattern Overlay
(download this chess
pattern)
to this rectangle.
Duplicate
this layer . Merge this two layers . Now we have to add Perspective
to the resulted image:
Select
the floor and delete the area that exceed the shape from the chess
pattern layer. The next thing that we have to do is to copy texture
for the ceiling
, but this time we will apply it to the floor. Set the right
perspective for the texture. Than set the Blending Mode to Darken
100%.
Add
Brightness/Contrast like in the image :
Step
4 – Chandelier
For
now leave the room as it is ; we will darken parts of the room later
to give a little contrast.
My
main interest now is the chandeliere. I have decided to use one from
a beautiful Fancy
Chandeliers Brush Set.
The
only thing that I had to do is to download the set and choose one of
the chandeliers (Chandeliere_21).
Step
5 – Little Door and Other Room Details
Copy
this Wooden
Door
into the file. Crop only the door , than resize it to 30 %. Duplicate
this layer three times.
Add
a little red heart and darken the edges of the door. You should
obtain something similar to the image above.
Now
I want to make a frame for the door. With the Pen Tool draw a shape,
color #b00a08.
I
have decided to darken the ceiling a little so I have changed the
Brightness/Contrast of the Ceiling Texture Layer.
Draw
a shape on the floor like in the image, color #0c0101.
Change
the Blending Mode of this layer to Soft Light . Than rasterize the
layer and with the Blur Tool blur the interior edges of the shape.
Now
I want to turn the lamp on. With the Brush Tool , color # f5a114 ,
brush size 9 draw 4 lights on the lamp. Use Blur Tool , lower the
opacity, draw again with a smaller size brush ( 2 px) to give the
spark look.
Than
copy the Chandelier Layer , Distort it and add Gaussian Blur. You
should obtain something like this:
Step
5 – Red Heart Queen Face
The
last part before adjusting the final details is to create the Red
Heart Queen Character.
We
start from this image :
The
first thing that I want to do is to model the face into a heart
shape. For that I will use the Smudge Tool to make the forehead a
little bigger and to hide the hear. I do that because I want to atach
a wig.
Step
6 – Red Heart Queen Wig
I
have found this lovely photo and I will use the
wig
for my queen. With the Pen Tool (paths) trace the wig contour; we
will than make a selection and crop it .
Crop
the selected part of the wig and delete the other layer. Scale the
wig to 50%.
Make
a copy of the Wig Layer.
Select
the left part of the wig and copy it in another layer; than flip it
horizontally and place it in the right part. Delete the right area
from the initial Wig Layer.
So
we have three layers ; I will color each layer with a color
temporarily.
Merge
the gree and blue hair layers. Scale the resulted layer to make it a
little bigger like in the image below.
Copy
an area from the center of the yellow wig layer to atach it to the
wig; that way it will not be visible the fact that there are two
duplicated parts.
Erase
the selection to blend perfectly. Use also the Dodge Tool for the
same reason.
Merge
the selection with the Wig Layer.
Now
let’s work with the Girl Layer. Go to Filter – Liquify
and with the Forward Warp Tool adjust the face of the girl giving it
the shape of a heart.
Use
the Bloat Tool to make her eyes bigger.
Use
the same tool Liquify – Forward Warp Tool to adjust the shape
of the wig.
Step
7 – Red Heart Queen Makeup
I
want to erase the eyebrows and to draw two simple black lines. For
that copy skin from the forehead, move it downwards and place the
skin in the eyebrows area.
Delete
with the Eraser Tool the areas that you don’t need . Keep only
the skin that covers the eyebrows. Use the Blur Tool to blend all
together and merge the two layers.
Create
another layer – Eyebrows Layer. With the Pen Tool draw a line .
Set the Brush Tool size 2 px , mode: normal , opacity 100% .
Select
the Pen Tool again, right click and choose Stroke Path. Press Delete.
Do
the same for the other eyebrow.
Create
a new layer under the Eyebrows Layer. Call this layer White Skin and
with the Brush Tool , opacity 100% , color white , cover the skin of
the girl. Avoid the eyes area. With the Blur Tool blur the edges of
the eyes from the White Skin Layer.
Change
the blending mode of this layer to Soft Light 90%.
With
the Burn Tool darken areas from the Girl Layer (where the forehead
meets the hair , neck ,etc). Use lower opacity and change the range
from shadows to midtones and vice versa.
With
the Brush Tool , color # b891a6
makeup the girl eyes like in the image:
Blur
the edges with the Blur Tool and than change the opacity of the layer
to 60 %.
Use
the Burn Tool for the Eye Makeup Layer to darken the corner of the
eyes.
Create
a new layer above this one and to the same thing but this time the
color is # 64a4d6.
I
will now add Eyelashes . For that I have found this Eyelashes
Brush Set
. Load the brushes and choose the foreground color #
0c0401.
It
is really simple to use . Just pick a brush (I choose 03.psd) and a
size (35 px). Than rotate the eyelash to follow the edges of the
right eye (bottom). Duplicate the layer, flip it horizontal and atach
it to the left eye.
Do
the same for top eyelashes (brush 04.psd size 40px).
Now
I will add Color to the Eyes . With the Brush Tool , size 12 draw two
bullets in the eyes iris area . For this layer we have to add Inner
Glow , Color Overlay and Stroke: Above this layer create another
layer (opacity 55%) and draw two little white points (eyes highlight)
For
the cheeks use the Brush Tool color #bb1928 , opacity 10% , size 12
px . Use Blur Tool to give a natural look.
Use
the same Brush Tool color # 160703
, opacity 100% , size 3 px to draw a little mole on the right side
cheek.
The
last detail of the makeup is the mouth. With the Custom Shape Tool
draw a Heart shape in the mouth area. Choose the color # a60606. Set
the blending mode of this layer to Multiply 100%. Add a stroke ,
color # 500303
, size 1px …..
Step
8 – Red Heart Queen Colorize
The
wig looks nice with this white tone but the queen from our fairytale
has the hair red. So return to the Wig Layer and add Color Overlay ,
blend mode Darken , opacity 100% , color #ff0000. Use the Burn Tool
to give the wig a little contrast. You can also use the Dodge Tool to
add highlights to the hair.
Now
let’s colorize the blouse. For that return to the Girl Layer
and go to Image – Adjustments – Replace Color. Select
with the Eyedropper Tool the color you want to replace and change the
settings of Hue , Saturation , Lightness like in the image:
Use
the Eraser Tool and the Burn Tool to adjust the visible
imperfections.
Step
9 – Red Heart Queen Crown
What
is a Queen without her Crown?
I
have found this really nice set
of Crown Brushes
. Create a new layer Crown. Add this 184 px size Crown , color #
f2b111.
As
you can see we have only the contour. I want to give it a nice gold
tone. So for that I have to trace the shape of the crown with the Pen
Tool , color # d97a00.
Add seven little dots, resize all the layers and this is the Crown.
You
can of course burn and dodge the crown or even apply a gold texture.
If the crown is to brite you can lower the opacity of all layers to
80%.
Create
a copy of all the layers and in this image use the Burn and Dodge
Tool to add light or shadow in some areas of the room (for example
dodge the ceiling area where the light falls, darken corners of the
room , the hair of the queen etc.)
This
is my final result ! you can of course play with different colors ,
apply textures the limit is only your imagination!
