5. Blending Modes---2-2.Lighten

P47 - 00:00 

 So now I will show you another blending mode. Just as in the previous example. 

P47 - 00:06用混合模式。 

Let's make a copy and go, we will use lighten. And so basically once again dark and was darken everything. 

P47 - 00:14一切都变黑的。 

So darken is a very good one to build up cigarettes and lighten is very good to bring back some of that light. 

P47 - 00:23光亮也是一种方式。 

and you can get some very interesting results like if you move things around justice in a symmetrical way, 

P47 - 00:34比如沿着平衡的方式移动。 

you can create some very cool things. and I are doing a symmetrical things is pretty straightforward. 

P47 - 00:43绘制平衡也是非常直接的。 

All you need is you just like this guy over. Basically earthquake created this really nice symmetry using both of those layers which can like sometimes it gives you a very interesting happy accidents. But I will do something else. 

P47 - 01:03比如对称非常有趣的碰撞， 

Not only symmetry. So amazing that will start like squashing it and repeating it and looking for something interesting. something. And I will be moving things around.  

P47 - 01:19就这样移动，匹配图片。 

That looks cool to me. Like, I don't know what it is right now, but for example, I could start seeing things okay. That could be a big. Like a dark area or like something else. 

P47 - 01:35比如黑色的区域。 

and I still start refining it And it's very cool because it gives you, I'm using smudge tool to smash things. 

P47 - 01:52我用模糊工具进行模糊的。 

I’m using all layers to kind of integrate those together. It's giving you a very nice transition, almost like you're respecting the fog that you have in here. try not to change it dramatically. Because the reason why I like the composition because it gave me this way, it would be nice kind of composition that when I was moving my lighten layer around, I was like, I like it. And that’s what I want to keep. I don't want to change it dramatically. changed stuff here and there. 

P47 - 02:30不会变化太大。 

But I really like the fact that there was some kind of it might be a vehicle or whatever like peaks starship, 

P47 - 02:44有点像卫星飞船。 

so we just move things around. Maybe it's some kind of a docking area where people actually walk towards state that guy. and they bought it from here, but we actually don't see it. He's just docked. You see people like really small tiny people over there just to show you the scale. 

P47 - 03:17比如上面站的一些小人。 

In all these lights, like for example, Let’s say there is a cockpit or something like that. 

P47 - 03:30比如飞机上面的驾驶舱。 

There is not a building over here. Just nicely framing old stuff. I'm just kind of putting some random marks here and there just to indicate the scale. And i'll be this guy places.  

P47 - 04:17放在画框里的大小。 

Introducing some reading just give it a bit of repetition. So we know that this platform is like very far away from this one. 

P47 - 04:56给一些重复。两者相距的远。 

And that's all you get the scale, for example, you should do a platform over here. So we know that platform is very far away from.

 

5. Blending Modes---2-3.Additional Blending Modes

P48 - 00:00 

 Okay, let's move on and I show you how to dark and stuff, how to use lighten. 

P48 - 00:06如何锃明 增黑？ 

And now we will experiment with it. We will just take the same picture, 

P48 - 00:11选择同样的图片。 

And we will make a copy and use something else. Like, I think starting from this. let's just rotate. Let's see how it works. like from my personal taste, a vivid color vivid light is just too harsh. it gives you very kind of distinctive look. 

P48 - 00:39太刺眼的光芒让人感觉不舒服。 

But, if you go down, for example, use hard light and get some pretty decent results, 

P48 - 00:48用冷光线可以得到不同的结果。 

it's all about what you're seeing. it's all about your brain and how you see things. It could move things around and get some really nice compositions which were usually what I do when I'm working on the project then I need some like a lot of different ideas. 

P48 - 01:08不同的思维不同的合成。 

basically what I would do I would copy that is like every frame that I like, let's say. I'll go back I like this one. I like where it's going And I know if I spend a little more time painting it up, it's gonna look promising. 

P48 - 01:30这几个积极的创意我都喜欢。 

So I go and copy this one. Instead of trying to find a perfect one. I just keep moving, I really want to keep our creative process going. So I don't want you guys to spend 20 minutes moving your stuff around and not finding what you're looking for. 

P48 - 01:48花20分钟找到不同版本和方向。 

Instead of that, keep going. that's the one that I like to keep moving things around. Maybe this one, like this, if you take this, let’s press this.flip this, that's pretty good. If you go and copy, copy it over here. So by the end of 10 minutes, I probably would have like 11, like six different versions. And then I can start painting it up. 

P48 - 02:30比如可以做出6种版本。 

So feel Free to moving things around. Don't be afraid, you'll stop wherever your brain and you beauty pass inside your brain tells you. Okay, this is looking really good. 

P48 - 02:43迭代到大脑告诉自己真的很好。 

And that's why you need to move things around. Rather than trying to find the perfect one to kind of nail. You'd like I can take this one. I quickly painted up, just in a few places here and there, like, what's going on with the framing of this guy? it's almost like we're having a really nice frame around this person over here. 

P48 - 03:07比如我想给镜头前到人聚焦。 

And basically all these mistakes that we have to give us additional depth. And all we need to do is to fix to like you can use soft brush to flat and few things here and there. And just to get much more nicer composition with a lot of fog and atmospheric perspective. 

P48 - 03:28软刷子刷出雾气和大气。 

So we keep moving. that's my point. And keep experimenting with this hard light gives you a very nice one. Maybe this is too harsh. Let's see what like this pain been like this pretty good as well.  So it's still a bit too harsh to my taste, but it also can give you a really nice, interesting ideas. 

P48 - 03:50若是颜色太冷，换种绘画模式。 

Like if you move things around. But the one that I really love is hard mix is also it gives you a very graphic image. 

P48 - 04:02硬度混合，变成图像设计模式。 

Like it's almost like you're going backwards in terms of Iike remember we were doing this graphic to it's actually we kind of going back as we started, we go to to just two values. But it's very cool that you can find some really nice silhouette, 

P48 - 04:21会有非常漂亮的轮廓。 

like if you if you move stuff around, I can find something very useful. And it's very handy. let me show you the other one, which was difference. 

P48 - 04:39看另外一点变异。 

Difference is a very interesting one, because it gives you the difference between two frames. And basically, if when you have them overlay on top of each other, you don't see anything. But the moment you start to move things around, you start seeing things that I actually like. It becomes very good. 

P48 - 04:59可以移动不同层面的。 

You can also invert your original layer and start moving things around. 

P48 - 05:04原始图层，移动重叠层。 

And you can get some very interesting results and completely change your scene. Like you see the foreground is bright now,  it's not dark. 

P48 - 05:16比如前景是亮的，不是黑的。 

So by doing that, you can find something very cool and interesting.  Little things around and look for something cool. that's what difference does. 

P48 - 05:42除外是另一个有用的工具。 

Exclusion is another very cool one. So if we go to exclusion. And first, it's very cool as it is, because it kind of flat and everything. So we can completely go from this kind of, so we had a lot of lights. But now we can have like almost like a foggy environment. 

P48 - 05:59有很多光和雾的环境。 

all you need to do is just to stark dark cool guy. So you see straight away what kind of changed everything about this Not a competition, but we changed the lighting and now it's a completely different setting.  

P48 - 06:20改变灯光，这是完全不同的设置。 

So for example, let's talk on this. It's amazing if there was like a lot of pollution and stuff like that. 

P48 - 06:30比如绘制成被污染的环境。 

So we need to kind of soft than that bit.  For example, using dodge tool Let's say there is a lack of single light coming from the Top of this object. 

P48 - 06:59颜色减淡，比如从顶部透出来的。 

And now you pick your brush on. You bring back, so very quickly without painting too much, we simplified everything. 

P48 - 07:33不用绘制太多，我们简化很多。 

And let's say, this could be a completely new take on this scene. You're just introducing a lot of light that's coming. 

P48 - 07:47比如打上灯光是完全不同的图。 

If the light is coming from here, you have to consider the fact that you will have a lot of like reflected light hitting these platforms and hitting this mean object over here. 

P48 - 07:59光打到物体表面，反射的结果。 

And if it's a foggy environment, start smudging things using the smudge tool.  

P48 - 08:25模糊工具绘制雾气。 

Introduce more fog. And yet now it's take a look from this. 

P48 - 08:59引入更多雾气，和原版进行对比。 

We using the same subject, but be moved towards this one. And of course you need to keep refining things in other words. It's not like it's done. You simplified everything. And you've got it different story. Different setting. And let's combine it.  

P48 - 09:55不同设置，不同的故事。 

let’s combine it. Darken. Or maybe not. 

P48 - 10:15增黑图层旋转拉伸后再锃亮。 

let's save this one. It’s illusion. And try something else. For example, you can take this one. And now let's see what the subject gives us so. Yeah, subject to my taste. It's again very harsh. It's just too dark. Sometimes it works, but I don't prefer different in general. So the same with divide. It is very, very harsh.  

P48 - 10:57不作为统一原则，特定条件有用。 

And these guys, they barely make any difference. So I would say I'm using dark and light on hard light and difference in exclusion all the time. The rest is a bit more experimental. But if you can guys do something with it, it's up to you. 

P48 - 11:17除外模式持续用的。 

But you can clearly see how quickly we were able to generate different moods, different ideas, still keeping the same principles. 

P48 - 11:27同样原则贯穿不同故事不同设置。 

we started from a very, very simple. If you remember, if I open the very first one image that we started with. It was even simpler than this. but you know what I mean? It's just the simple one with very just two values. And then we started building it up. And we ended up having this very complicated story. 

P48 - 12:04从简单开始的，到复杂故事结束。 

We did a lot of like different things with a lot of foreground middle ground background with a lot of fog with a lot of light and. The good news is that we didn't paint everything from scratch, we build it up using different blending modes. So blending modes are very, very powerful. 

P48 - 12:23这就是混合模式的强大之处。 

I will do another chapter of blending mode just to show you that how you can also distort your layers and get something completely different. But that's it for now.

 

5. Blending Modes---2-4.Warp

P49 - 00:00 

Let me show you how we can use blending modes and how we can destroy this picture to get different results as well. 

P49 - 00:14展示如何不破不立。  

Not only just rotating and flipping it, but also creating a distortion sometimes creates some very good results. 

P49 - 00:21旋转 翻转 扭曲。 

So I showed you how to flip you and me try flipping. You can get some pretty really nice symmetrical things. And literally can really quickly get some very impressive results. 

P49 - 00:33翻转对称的到效果。 

Like, for example, you can take this picture and you have this, but making this symmetrical thing. It's quite easy. So I want to move on and show you something else. 

P49 - 00:46裁剪的方式的到平衡的效果。 

So actually, this is something that you get when you screw your objects. when you start deforming your lighten layer, 

P49 - 00:56扭曲 歪曲 锃亮图层。 

Introducing different like planes. For example, let's try this one and you can move it around and you will get some very interesting results. let's just say it adjust a perspective. So it's aligning the perspective. 

P49 - 01:33就这样旋转和对齐视角。 

And the issue basically what it does, it introduces a lot of it basically gives you a very nice ground base. 

P49 - 01:43给了非常好的地平面。 

Like and now you can start painting on top of it towards really heavy. Let’s increase the bus to 200. So let's say if this was your ground base, And because you're already having a lot of suggested Information, all you need to do is to kind of refine it. And build it up. So this could be gap. 

P49 - 02:15调整填充空隙。 

So you actual geometry. It goes down. It just helps you dramatically improve the depth of a picture. 

P49 - 02:26就这样改善图片的深度。 

So this could be a hangar entrance that's going down like this. Let's just try and use a little bit of cross section. 

P49 - 03:00用一点横截面。 

And you can still have all the elements that we had before. But just skilling  it allows you to break up the surface.  

P49 - 03:22还是原来的元素，但是可改地表。 

Like this. And also what you can do. You can copy your picture. And create a horizontal composition as well. 

P49 - 03:52复制旋转重叠合成图。 

Like, let's go and rotate this guy like this. And usually good composition. It works in either way. it will work as a vertical composition and also will work as a horizontal. So I can take this one. 

P49 - 04:16好的合成图竖屏可以横屏也可以。 

but this could be your new composition. All you need to do is, for example, select this period. Create a ground level. 

P49 - 04:30创建水平面。 

Like this. Obviously delete these guys. 

P49 - 04:42油漆桶删除掉不需要的元素。 

There's nothing hanging in there. But then you have like, for example, a person. Working from here. And you're like observing this really big kind of a spaceship. 

P49 - 05:05竖屏地平面画人，看远处大飞船。 

And once again, if you start laying down like different perspective lines. It's probably worth trying to extend this side works. 

P49 - 05:27尝试新方案。 

Or maybe not. So yeah, it’s also works as a vertical picture as well. But now the content changed completely. 

P49 - 05:46竖屏也是可以用，但内容全变了。 

But let's move on and try to restore it. The original picture even more. like for example. You see all these things that appear. They are very useful because you can keep on refining and keep copying it. 

P49 - 06:09就这样持续的调节和复制。 

Keep popping in. Eventually at some point you will get a very complicated composition. 

P49 - 06:22就这样获得相对复杂的合成。 

And also remember when we were talking about repetition as well. And you can clearly see it working right now like I want to repeat those things. 

P49 - 06:31重复也很重要。 

You can see the shapes are repeating each other. And it gives you additional Information of how the geometry looks like. 

P49 - 06:44额外的信息展示出地貌。 

So it could be something like repeating a few times, and it already creates very solid visual guide inside your picture. 

P49 - 06:55图片内呈现出视觉化的图片。 

let me just show you another example. And for that example, let's just go really backwards. So if we pick up all the very early ones. 

P49 - 07:17回到原始图片的案例。 

For example, this one. And trying to lighten  mood once again. But instead of trying to move things around, now we will go and use warp tool. 

P49 - 07:28下拉锃亮 右键变形。 

So we will actually warp all the stuff very dramatically. 

P49 - 07:33戏剧性的变形。 

Like you can use a crazy amount for being. But by doing that, you're introducing very different kind of surfaces. 

P49 - 07:56这样变形出不同的表面。 

Like take a look. Right now we have these kind of surface. it's almost like, you have a canyon kind of service, which is completely different from what we were doing before. Because before it was all straight lines, since we were distorting, just flipping our image. And now you've got this very nice curvy line that helps you to composition wise to help you to Guide inside the frame. 

P49 - 08:29歪曲 翻转 做不出峡谷直效果。 

And you don't necessarily need all of it. Like you can go back and delete a few places. So but still like I'm getting that is a very pleasant happy accident. 

P49 - 08:44背景涂黑，开启愉快冒险旅途。 

Let's go and try it again. Copy the same picture. Go to lighten. 

P49 - 09:00复制 下拉锃亮。 

And this is something new.  So yeah, as you can see, you move things around. And now only like straight lines. But also you get a lot of rely on sentiment can completely change your composition in terms of you seeing it as an abstract thing. 

P49 - 10:57变形后黑灰色 翻旋转重叠变形。 

For example, right now my brain read it as a kind of vertical arrangement. Like this could be sort of being completely cold. Like a big building. But I can see the vanishing point. And if you put like a guy over here. Like looking up. There was another guy always there. And all this vanishing points. It's almost like a fish eye. you've got those things. and here, You've got to focal point. Let's see. You get some kind of structure. Over here. or like the space ship as well.  And you can see like how easy it is for me to manipulate those things and big changes as I go, because I kept everything simple. Everything is very, very simple. 

P49 - 13:34视角消失线前景人聚焦点上飞船。 

There's nothing very complicated. That's why I don't deal with photos. I don't deal with 3D I don't deal with the stuff that will make my life much more complicated.   

P49 - 13:47所以我不用照片和建模。 

you see just in a matter of few minutes, we went from this then that, just by using blending mode and staying simple. 

P49 - 16:01这就是混合模式，简单的重复。 

So if you guys can always keep reminding yourself to stay simple. There will be a point that we will start putting like photo textures and putting like really highly complicated stuff. 

P49 - 16:19可以放入照片和复杂图片。 

But as much as possible. I'm trying to push it towards simplicity as we go, because this is how you actually brainstorm. This is how you create something that you would never create. If you were doing like using photos all started with 3D. You can get this stuff, but it just time wise. It's faster. when you can see like going from here to this one in the really small amount of time. But I spent on this one is pretty impressive.  

P49 - 17:01时间成本最短方案。 

So please keep reminding yourself that. Simple is good. And especially for this exercise, I would strongly advise you to use like a flat brushes. 

P49 - 17:19用平刷。 

So you can do this similar stuff with a very texture brushes, actual brushes, but they just have attendency to become very messy very quickly. 

P49 - 17:34若是材质刷子很容易搞砸。 

So I would say, keep your brushes very simple. So that's it. lighten darken skewing and distorting your picture will always give you a very, very cool things to work with. 

P49 - 17:53锃亮瓦黑扭曲歪曲。 

And thank you very much.

 

5. Blending Modes---2-5.Adjustment Layers on Line Drawings

P50 - 00:00 

We pose this video, refine this guy, and we will come back and i'll show you how to use blending modes to actually experiment with different lighting situations. 

P50 - 00:12混合模式如何适用于光的场景。 

So basically what I did, I kind of refined a little bit line drawing. It doesn't need to be very accurate, guys. Once again, getting appropriate line drawing takes a lot of time and a lot of experience to get it right. So don't worry about the quality of your line drawing. But after that you will you can set your line drawing to multiply. 

P50 - 00:40不精确的线稿，下拉多重。 

And basically paint over separated objects. like I did. So when once I switch off my line drawing, 

P50 - 00:48线稿绘制成独立的物体。 

you see it almost looks like what we had when we started from. Remember we started from very simple cut out shapes. That's why I was constantly telling you that this is a very important stage because after this one, we can start doing our magic.  

P50 - 01:04分开绘制这步非常重要。 

And basically the way it works now, because I have all these layers separately. And let’s just merge this guy. what we will be doing, we will create a new layer, but we will create an adjustment layer, let's say curves, right? 

P50 - 01:23融合 曲线调节图层。 

And we will burn this layer like clipping mask with a parent is there to the spaceship. 

P50 - 01:30剪贴蒙版到飞船图层。 

And we will basically like a big RAM like. And now we will use a blending mode. For example, you can use a linear dodge, 

P50 - 01:43曲线 下拉颜色减淡。 

and we will invert the mask. But now you see what happens. And then we paint something. It will start revealing. the geometry. 

P50 - 01:57反转蒙版，绘制暴露几何图。 

It it's kind of like almost like if you turn on your line drawing and you see it. So let's say we've got like lighting coming from Top, 

P50 - 02:14线稿图层 顶部光源。 

It’s almost like you're becoming a rendering machine. And where your light is coming from. And basically you're applying that knowledge painting light. 

P50 - 02:30绘制光影 渲染。 

So that's exactly going back towards our very first session where we studied form, So we have the shape. And now we are refining the form. 

P50 - 02:44优化形状。 

And we keep looking just like it. Just the amount of our line drawing just to see where we need to raise some bits. 

P50 - 02:55线条绘制看看哪里优化。 

Probably need to be more like this. And then basically, we are creating the form, 

P50 - 04:01就这样诞生了形状。 

And we can change this curve however,  Or we change the brightness. So that's a dark shape. 

P50 - 04:59调节曲线和亮度。 

Wait some matte material. But we can always go back and like, for example, just using curves. For example, started introducing. Maybe it's a reflective surface, 

P50 - 05:29曲线 反射表面。 

So we're not painting with adjustment layer with the blending mode, which is linear dodge at this point. 

P50 - 05:59非调节图层。混合线性减淡。 

And we just refining lingering those details. But now it's much more designed re when you can start thinking about designs and for example, think about different colors skin.  It's so cool.  

P50 - 06:48可以专注颜色设置。 

Because later on, if we, for example, start to introduce some color, like, let's say, red color, And you just copy this mask. You've got the red bounds. 

P50 - 06:59比如引入红色，这样就凸显红色。 

So for example, imagine if your environment was a red environment. Let me select these guys. 

P50 - 07:16选择背景，比如红色背景。 

So yeah, and you're getting something you would never have. If you were like doing it from scratch. now we've got this really nice graphic design. And I can keep going. Like I can keep adding those. Like for example, I can start. Here are some linear dodge. Dramatically increase it. Inverted. Go and paint in the mask. 

P50 - 08:08加入线性减淡，绘制蒙蔽。 

Small highlights in the world just lights. And because I'm having all these layers that separate object, I can keep introducing. So it's very graphic. And you can make it a pretty photo real. It just depends on what you're looking forward. you have much more flexibility in terms of stuff you can generate.  

P50 - 09:15平面设计或照片质感前者更灵活。 

And once again, you can see like even though I have line drawing had way more Information because light just consumes most of it. 

P50 - 09:47灯光是可以充满一切的。 

that's why it's very important to be able to design and think about your lighting at the same time, 

P50 - 09:59设计的同时思考打光。 

instead of spending endless time refining a line drawing and then actually realizing their own. I need to. Most of my stuff will be covered with shadows and lighting and stuff like that.  

P50 - 10:17光影比线稿要重要。 

And you can use the. That's just quickly make these guys red as well as will be catching some redness. And now we can turn off. It's pretty cool. I like it. It's very graphic. And also what you can do if you want to make it look more graphic. You use a line filter from previous lectures. you can multiply this figure. So now it looks it could be a panel from your graphic normally, 

P50 - 11:19风格除外 涂灰 下拉多重。 

like all you need to do. Put it right over here. And you've got your panel. 

P50 - 12:06绘制上对话。 

So using blending modes on adjustment layer, it's very powerful because you can quickly tweak just by changing your Information. Like for example, if there was a light coming from underneath the subject, you will be able to quickly tweak it. just by painting on the mask itself, just by painting on the object of the painting. 

P50 - 12:32蒙版绘制，改变信息改变故事。 

in order to be able to do that, don't forget you need line drawing. You need to refine it and to make those clean shapes.  

P50 - 12:44线性绘制保留整洁外形。 

that’s basically what we always had before. We started to get very complicated with blending. Well, so it's all about this trade of going back and forth between precise designing an abstract shape. so in order to get here, I had to design In an abstract way using blending modes. I just started with a very simple shape. 

P50 - 13:08抽象绘制 混合模式。 

But then afterwards, as I went, I started three fine things because I already was seeing something, not just a blank canvas, but there was already some Information for me. And all I had to do is just refine things, Let's just quickly. Let's keep it very graphic. And as a final touch, we can introduce a little bit of smudging. 

P50 - 14:59加入灯光 最后做模糊处理。 

Well done. It's very graphic straightforward.

 

5. Blending Modes---3.Homework

P51 - 00:00 

 So your homework this week is very straightforward. Take a very simple paint up a very simple frame. And using layer blending modes, get different ingredients into it. And then you will start using blending modes to get this variety used dark and use light and use experiment with hard light on all different types of blending modes.  

P51 - 00:30增黑瓦亮梯度等混合模式。 

And what I'm expecting from you at the end of the week to have at least nine pictures. But still free to experiment with those just like I did just brainstorm, put those together, and then refine nine of those. 

P51 - 00:42头脑风暴后整合，精修部分。 

I think it's a good number do at least 9. And if you have more time, you can do 18. And you can keep going because as I showed you, it takes very bless amount of time to knock this out.  

P51 - 00:599-18作业，时间成本逐渐少。
