All right, so here's the flats I've already done, you should have done your own as well. It's in the same format as I showed you how to do on the color one on one that you can see in the layer palette or here. First, I'm going to go turn on the line art. And I'm also going to hit command y for CMK proofing. Alright, and then just like in under color complex, we're going to merge these two together. So now we have local colors and everything else in the background.
Now here's where I'm going to do something a little bit different. Since you can see, like the background is just an empty space with some, you know, I don't know burst lines in the corners. I want to create a nice dynamic background that kind of complements that and something that's not too boring. So I'm gonna create a new layer. And then I'm going to select two colors here that you want to call that. tonally are kind of different.
So I'm going to pick an orange might up the Reds a little bit, they're just the hue and saturation. And then this I'm going to do a light yellow, oops. Especially the second to lightest yellow I have in the palette. All right, now I'm going to go up to filter. And I'm going to go down to render clouds and then we get this I'll turn off the line art. So you can see We've got on this layer, just kind of this splotchy pattern.
Now we're gonna combine that with another filter. I'm going to go down here to noise and I'm going to have add noise and I'm going to keep it on uniform around 70% That looks good. Well, let's try this slider. Yeah, cuz that's a little bit much. It's a little mushy. I think.
70% Looks good. Yeah, maybe I'm gonna go out 50 Yeah, go down 50 like that. So now there's a bit of noise going on in there. If you zoom in, that's what it looks like now. Alright, so then another filter. We are going down.
Always try to remember I thought it was it was blur. Yeah, blur, Radial Blur. That's not long. Always I'm going to have to end up hunting for the try remember what is this called? Alright. So yeah, so Filter, Blur, hit radio blur.
You want zoom best and then bring the amount to 100 and hit okay. I just have to wait for the process bar to fill up. It's a little bit slower Since I'm running the video capture program as well. Come on. There we go. And now, turn off the line on again.
See now we have this nice zoom, but you'll notice in the corners, there are these other colors coming through, don't really want that plus the zoom right now is kind of to me kind of small and not so dramatic. So let's zoom out a bit and I'll hit Command T and we are just going to While I'm holding the shift to keep the proportions I guess you don't really need to do that here. But I'm just going to make this a bit larger. A bit more dramatic and it gets rid of those weird things on the edges. There. think they'll do and zero to get full.
I'll Trump Leinart again. So now we have a zoom or like that a bit more dramatic and powerful. And all the weirdness on the sides are now gone. But of course, you'll notice what I just selected the layer it's going way beyond where we can view and that's going to make the file larger. We don't need that. So I'm going to show you how to do something with select all that selects the canvas go up to edit all Yeah, this where's the nose image, you got image and you got to crop.
And now when I hit down command tab on the layer, you'll notice it only selects what we can see. Alright, so we've got that now. Right now, still can make this a little more dramatic. I'm going to hit command u bump up the saturation, pump lightness a bit too. And I'm not so much that's one nice orange background. There we go.
So, for very dramatic zoom there. But now to emphasize even more elte gun, the lasso tool and kind of following along with the little zoom lines that we see, I am going to make some selections. And what I'm going for here is creating a bit of like a starburst coming out from the center of this zoom pattern. I mean you don't have to be too careful with I'm just trying to follow the basic you know, using the What's in the zoom there as a basic guide of direction, the Starburst he knows I'm not going all the way to the edges here either, simply because Star Wars I'm going to do I'm going to keep it mostly towards the center looks pretty good. Alright, so I got this. Let's go back to my layers.
I'm gonna put another layer above that and I'm going to set this to Linear Dodge. I'm going to pick an orange now it's gonna show you if I want to go to my brush tool Pick the top brush three selected make the brush soft, a bit larger. Now if I brush this in I you know, that looks kind of weird because all you know hard edge and stuff. So let's do that. Now. So my selection again I'm going to go down to refine edge underneath select I'm gonna go down to refine edge and out analysis previewing my selection here.
I am going to feather it so I'm going to slide out the feather slider. See it's making it softer on the edges. Yeah, so around 30 I usually like that you can make it even softer than that if you want that's a little bit too soft. Yeah, I usually like around like right around 30 Okay. And now when I go in with a brush to make the Starburst that's how it is now see, it blends in a bit better, but still looking kind of weird. So actually I'm going to create a new channel filled with black just in case I want to go back to that shape.
Touchscreen. All right now with no selection, I was going to do the brush just to kind of soften up the center. Then I'm going to select yellow. Keep softening that up. I'm gonna select that shape again. Yes, capital.
All right. So now we got a nice little Starburst right in the center of it. See, that's what it looks like with the liner. So I kind of like that. So I'm going to save this point. And now I'm going to merge these layers and with the background layer.
Use Command D to do that. And now I'm going to slay me. That's not what I meant to do. Hold on. Let's merge these two together first, then I'm going to look at my local color, select the background shift command, I'd inverse it. And now, hit Delete.
So now I have the figure showing through. Now I'm going to select that in my background and merge them together with Command D. There we go. And now from here, I want to do this thing. Let's select the background. Use my actions to separate the background or the environment and the figures. I showed you in one color, one, one.
So the background and figures. Alright. Now I will play with this a little bit more. Now on the rendering thing, you'll see here right now I have I have my local color here. It's kind of yellow. Orange, take a gradient tool, put on the radial gradient from the center, I'm just going to use a select white for to do that.
I do that. So I'm working, have a set to multiply. Make sure it's on normal. Now let's do it there. Yeah, I see it. Now it's even brighter.
I kind of like that. And if you zoom in, you can still see the nice warp on the edges can even fits with the stration lines. And then we have a nice dramatic background and from there we can Next go into the figures.
