Sophie's alchemy workshop 2, the trace of the wave dike, can be collected as a list of the materials you can see above the campfire, as shown below: How does photoshop make splash waves?

The method of making splash waves in Photoshop is as follows:

Open PS, first create a new file, and then set a background color.

draw the basic shape of the spray in black.

use the liquefaction function in the filter to correct the spray contour.

select the spray outline, keep the selected area and open a new layer.

Select the brush tool, and use a soft brush to select the outer contour of white spray. It is not necessary to be uniform everywhere, so it is natural.

Use a small brush to draw some curves according to the spray trend within the selected area, and try to be natural and casual.

use finger tools to smear, so that the lines naturally have a sense of flow.

then draw the highlights with a hard pen.

Use the finger tool to smear repeatedly, and rest the highlights naturally.

in order to make the water more real and hierarchical, the above steps can be repeated many times. I am only demonstrating here, so I will only do it once. After that, lock the layer and color the spray lightly with gray-blue color, so that the spray is basically completed.

Open a material map, drag the prepared water droplets in and change the layer blending mode appropriately to see the effect. The splash looks complicated in texture, but in fact, many parts are random, so you don't have to care about the distortion trend of the shape and line texture, so it is very simple to make it as long as you know the method. How to draw water ripples

Several common ways to draw water ripples:

The first way: wave method

Like this, it looks like a hill, one next to the other, with lines in the middle to form water ripples. The repeated shapes are increasing, and the waves are inclined upward. The natural arrangement can be dyed and gradually faded from the roots, so it is drawn.

the second method: ripple method

is between waves and water, with small irregular ripples. The ripples and arcs reflect the wind-blown ripples, and the shape should be rounded, without hard corners. It can be dyed and rendered between arcs and ripples.

the third method: the reticulated method

is shaped like a fishing net, which can be divided into groups and layered, and can be dyed, leaving white in rendering to show the effect of sunlight hitting the water.

the fourth type: tidal method

irregular small waves are combined with water patterns, and the waves move obliquely upward, which can be dyed and rendered under the waves to reflect the light and shade effect.
