Daripada bingung mau nulis apa (kata mas ‘bhi’, “tulis apa aja dech yang penting ga ngomongin orang laen..”), aku mau bagi-bagi tips make fungsi2 dasar photoshop cs, secara aku belum bisa nulis apa-apa tentang TA pasca seminar kemaren, harus revisi dulu kk X-(.

Instead of not writing anything (Mas Bhi said, “you can just write anything usefull, the important thing is don’t ever talking about others..”), i want to share some tips using some basic functions on Photoshop CS since i can’t write any story about my final task post seminar and still have to revise it

Aku pengen gambar anjing ni, secara aku seneng banget sama yang namanya anjing. Baiklah, sketsa awal anjingnya gini:

I want to draw a cute dog since i love this animal. Okay, this is the initial skecth for the dog:

Gambar diatas merupakan sketsa kasar yang dibuat pake yang namanya pen tool . Kalo susah ngikutin gambar diatas, bikin aja sketsa kasar kayak begini :

The rough skecth of the dog above was made using something called pen tool . If the sketch is too difficult to begin with, just make a simple rough sketch like this one:

Nah, dari sketsa kasar diatas, dihaluskan pake yang namanya convert point tool

‘kay, from the rough sketch above you can smooth the edge with convert point tool

Convert point tool biasanya aku pake buat menumpulkan yang tajem-tajem, jadi hasil yang kedua kayak gini

I usually use convert point tool to rounded the sharp edges, and the result should be like this

Nah, kalo make gambar anjing yang tadi, setelah aku kasi kacamata , hasilnya kira-kira kayak gini :

‘kay, the black skecth of the dog will look like this after i add a cool sunglass on it

Setelah gambarnya uda dihaluskan pake convert point tool.. Sebenernya uda cukup kalo hanya ingin gambar cartoon, tinggal dikasi efek pake “blending option” (klik kanan layer > blending option>coba2 aja pilihan2nya disana).

After smoothing the skecth using convert tool.. actually it’s finished if you only want to draw a simple cartoon figure. All you need to add is blending option (right click on layer > blending option > just try any option available there)

Nah, kemudian, aku maen-maen pake yang namanya “brush tool” sama “smudge tool” untuk memberi kesan seperti lukisan kanvas. Dan hasil akhirnya begini:

And after that, i play around using something called brush tool and smudge tool to give an effect so it will look like a canvas painting. And here’s the final result:

Nah, sekarang bisa dicetak trus dipasang di depan rumah sambil ditulis “Awas Anjing Keren!!”. Huehehe…

Now i can print this dog picture in front of the house with some text like “Watch out!! A cool dog is around!!”. Huehehe…

Gimana, tutorialnya!? Huehe… Pada dasarnya, hasil akhir nantinya tergantung sama kreativitas masing-masing sih. Walo yang awak contohin hasilnya payah, tapi kalo ga pake photoshop mungkin tambah parah )

So how is the tutorial?! Huehe… The final result basicly depends on your own creativity. Eventhough what i draw here is not a good one, it can be worse if i didn’t use photoshop )

Semoga membantu kk ^__^V

Hope it’s helpfull for you ^__^V
