You can also open this panel by clicking this icon on the right. Right- click on the canvas to open the Brushes palette. You can lock the layer to avoid accidents These lines overlap each other, but as long as they're on separate layers, you can move, edit, and delete them individually Step 5 You can remove these layers by pressing Delete to clean up the canvas. If you want to make sure you won't draw on a certain layer by accident, you can lock it. So always pay attention to what layer you're drawing on. But if you create a New Layer and draw on it, then these lines will stay separated. You'll notice that they're merged-you can only move them together. This line is separated from the white background Step 4Ĭhange the color now and draw something over the first line. Because the lines are separated, you can use the Move Tool (V) to drag them, or press Control-T to resize and rotate them.
Click the eye icon next to the background layer to see that it stays separated from the lines. If you draw something on the canvas now, it will be drawn on the layer that is currently selected. To keep your lines separated from the background, you need to create a New Layer. There's a single layer here for now-the background filled with white. The new file has been created, and we're ready to draw! But first, take a look at the Layers panel. Let's use the dimensions 5000 x 3500 for now. The bigger the size, the more details you can fit in, but also the harder it is for your computer to manage. You can change it later, but it always comes at a loss of quality, so choose wisely. First, we have to decide the size of our canvas. If you don't consider yourself a total beginner and you're interested in the drawing technique only, feel free to skip to section 2. In this section, I'm going to explain the basic drawing tools of Photoshop. I used this one:Įnvato Elements is an awesome resource where you can download many Photoshop actions, add-ons, and brushes, like this artistic and matte painting brush set, perfect for adding texture and realistic traditional drawing textures to your Photoshop art. You can find good, high-resolution references on Envato Elements. Using references is not cheating-it just means you draw something you see instead of something you imagine. For this tutorial we're going to need a reference photo.
