How to make splashing characters with PS

Splashing Text Tutorial

1. As usual, take a look at the result picture first:

   In this tutorial, I will introduce to you how to create a splashing text effect in Photoshop . Knowledge point: the use of brushes.

   

2. Preparation work:

   Download the following materials. The water splash brush requires payment, but there is nothing else. Another point: loading too many brushes into PS will affect the startup speed of PS. Use with caution.

3. Create a new file in ps, the size is: 940px * 700px, background is black. And save it, name it: water splashing text. Open the lake material and use the lasso tool with a feather value of 40px. The areas shown in the figure are not necessarily completely similar, and the deviation cannot be too large.

   

4. Use the move tool and drag the area within the selection to the newly created splash text file. And rename it to Water Wave, and reduce the transparency to about 60%. And use a large soft eraser tool to erase the edges so that they blend completely into the background. The effect is as shown below:

   

5. Copy the water wave layer twice and move it to the left or right side of the original water layer. And set the transparency slightly lower than the original to create a feeling of depth. The main thing is to examine composition ability or perspective principles.

   

6. Duplicate the water layer again, then restore the transparency to: 100%, and adjust the position.

   All right! I have to admit the exquisite skills of foreign designers here. Anyway, it took me many adjustments and repeated attempts to achieve the effect shown in his picture. General tutorials omit these details, and it is precisely these details that confuse beginners. I feel this is where foreign tutorials are undesirable.

   Then again, this place still tests your composition ability and proficiency in the basic tools of PS software. Because the top is the water wave text to be created in the future, the shapes below are stacked into a heart shape to be smooth.

   




On the top of all layers in the current file, create two adjustment layers (the fourth one in the Layers Panel Button half black and half white),

Curve:



Color level:





7. Type any words you like on the canvas:

   Bevel Emboss

   

   Gradient Overlay

   

   Stroke

   

   The effect is as shown:

   

8. Load the text selection, create a new layer, fill it with black, Filter-> Noise-> Add noise, the parameters are as shown in the figure:

   

9. ##Change the noise layer mode to Screen, with a transparency of about 35%

   

10. Create a new layer and name it: Light and Shadow, use alternating black and white brushes to fill the following shapes:

    This is another step omitted In the detailed steps, this step requires constantly adjusting the transparency of the brush, which also indirectly tests the grasp of light and shadow. There is no skill in light and shadow, just pay attention to the ordinary appreciation of light and shadow of objects in life. Summary, highlights, reflections, backlights, etc.

    

11. Create a new "Water Splash", import the relevant water splash brushes, and add them around it.

    

12. Use the brush to add the feeling of creek water,

15. Add some small light spots in other places to make a certain area appear brighter.
