Paint “Mark the Cute Orange” Photoshop Tutorial

Tools used

Photoshop CS2
Wacom Graphire 4 4×5 USB (Blue)

Step 1
Now maybe it may sound funny at first but I only used a few standard brushes, the hard edge not for any particular reason nor do I not use other brushes. The only adjustments I make to these settings are to the opacity and flow and in my own case I change the, flow, opacity and size jitters respectively to ‘pen pressure’. Because I’m using a Wacom tablet.

Step 2
Ok. Here we go. The very first step is to create a base sketches for the main idea. I started with some quick sketches about the character. First I drew some sketches in Photoshop using a small, pressure-sensitive paintbrush.I’m sure the one who know not drawings can manage draw some little quick sketches like this. I start out with thumbnail sketches to get inspirations. I did make quick pencil gesture drawings to explore diverse attitudes and proportions. What is the story all about? Figure out the story first before you do the sketching. It could save you a lot time. Once you figure out what story is and you know about colors then let’s start the main sketches and painting process. However, my tutorial will not teach you how to draw cartoon characters. About the sketch, it doesn’t necessarily have to be clean. Let’s not to try to make it super detailed because the lines will be covered up.

Step 3
I use Adobe Photoshop CS3 and a Wacom tablet for all my digital. This is important. Create a story about each character. Hmmmm now let’s think about this character. My orange character has a name of course and his name is Mark J He is a sweet orange toon character and he is looking to this orange water glass in wonder. Trying to get figure out what happened to his friend [ Photoshop ] Paint “Mark the Cute Orange” in Photoshop Icon_biggrin.gif.pagespeed.ce.-XCmWRZoxi

Get the idea about this sketch work? See this is what I am trying to explain to you when I draw him. So here we go. it is always very important to have a background story on all your characters.

Step 4
Finding sources of inspiration for your drawings isn’t hard, you might have a favorite childhood character, an over stimulated imagination. Let’s start with opening a new document of around 800 pixels by 532 pixels with a resolution of 72px/inch. Now on the first Photoshop file, select your sketch layer and drag the layer to this new file (800×532). Your layer should look like this now and you name it as ” Mark sketch” and save your work with the name of “Coloring orange” Ah by the way, resolution must be 72 for now. Later you need to make it bigger to add painting details. But not now. When you drew this picture you don’t need to have a very strong hardware.

Step 6
As you are going to see on these steps, coloring and creating the atmosphere is fairly simple with the right tools like Photoshop and other Adobe products. For my character I am going to use only standard brushes with some different pen pressure settings. Let me show how I arrange my brush. First select the Brush Tool and then Right Click on the canvas. Setting up the appropriate brush is certainly important. These settings are under you “Basic Brushes” Under your brushes window, make sure your settings match the ones that I have displayed in the image to the right. Under “Other Dynamics” make sure Opacity Jitter and Flow Jitter are turned on. This is the brush I use for most of my soft shading. it’s nice and pressure sensitive. I spent some time on the colors things like the main colors and background color. I add a new layer in Photoshop underneath the drawing and begin coloring background layer.

Step 7
This is a very important stage in creating your artwork is to decide which colors are best for your painting. Here are my colors selection. I want to do something really colorful and warm colors for the cartoon orange painting . I decided for background a dark blue color . Other colors are for the character face and the paper glass. Open an another file and save your colors. And always keep open that new file when you are painting.

Step 8
Now after we selected our colors, we can begin to to color the orange. Don’t worry about going out of the lines. That will be cleaned up later on. Once you have done we can begin shading. Remember, start a new layer for each things. Hey see….. I usually end up with lots of layers…….Now select one of the brush and turn off the opacity really low and use a large brush. Make sure the “Mark color” layer is selected not the sketch layer [ Photoshop ] Paint “Mark the Cute Orange” in Photoshop Icon_smile.gif.pagespeed.ce.nuZG_6txEH

Using the large brush, do some general shading for the overall shape of the orange and the paper glass. As you see nothing detailed at this point.

Step 9
Try not to lift your pen too much or release the left click on your mouse. Too many strokes will destroy thesmooth gradient effect we are trying to achieve. I’m adding some more colors. Here take a look at the character painting. it’s eyes began to look clear at this step. At the next steps I’ll work more on the eyes and the body and try to bring the character to life.

Step 10
I took a smaller brush and a darker opacity. I traced around the edges but also defined some of the pencil shading under paper glass and around the orange. Now this looks pretty good but it needs more work. I continue to add more details and opening some new layers when I need. Pay attention to my layer order. Now look at all details. I have created a new second color layer for the character coloring. And also I have just add some colors at the background.

Step 11
Now some shades. Use at least two darker tones to this. Firstly lighter one. Use some small sharp brush with up to 30% opacity. Smudge the hat as in the picture. Take some dark color, set the opacity to 60% and draw some thin lines. And at this step I would like to change the size of my file because I’ll begin to add more details so I’ll need a bigger file size. I do wish my file is to be more bigger size because at this stage I do think I can’t make so much detailed painting. So I open Image/Image Size. And make the settings as you see 4724×2865.
