How to draw the stars in the universe?

The stars in the universe are painted like this:

1. If the background is filled with dark blue, the color will appear low in saturation and look natural.

2. For the gradient, you can use the gradient tool or blur manually, whichever will do. (I draw the bottom first, and then blur the dividing line.) It's natural for the dividing line to be a little round.

If you change the color here, it will become the sky at different times.

3. Draw stars. Draw stars, brushes, starry brushes, and water-drop brushes with clearly defined pencil tools. Change the size of pencil and brush, and draw stars randomly in order not to become stars of the same size.

The key point is to make the picture full of stars and deliberately create a "gap" without stars at all.

4. Copy and enlarge the star layer Copy the star layer drawn in 3, and then enlarge the copied layer. (1.5 ~2 times)

The enlarged star layer rearranges the layer order so that it is below the star layer drawn in 3.

5. Use "Gaussian blur" and other methods to blur the magnified star layer.

The value of the blur will change according to the canvas size, but it will be roughly so much blurred.

6. Reduce the opacity of the fuzzy planetary layer

Reduce the opacity of five fuzzy star layers. The stars are a little deep.

7. Draw the nebula and add (or glow) layer mode, and draw the bottom of the nebula with a well-defined brush. Light yellow, green and purple are recommended. I don't know why the shape is ok because it will be cut at the back.

8. Draw the nebula drawn in Nebula Cut 7 to make it look like a nebula. Basically, brushes with rough texture, such as case 1 and case 2, start from the edge, and the edge can't be completely cut off, but obviously, pens like case 3 gently cut off the edge.

9. Add nebulae according to the same steps as 7~8, and add nebulae with different colors. The color looks unnatural, but in order to look natural, it will be adjusted later, so don't care at this stage.

10. Reducing the opacity of the stellar cloud will reduce the opacity of the stellar cloud to a fuzzy level. It depends on personal preference. If you want the nebula to stand out, you don't need to thin it here. )

In the example, the purple nebula accounts for 8%, and the yellow nebula is reduced to 18%.

1 1. Increase the size of the small star smaller than the original star, and increase the star. Mainly by adding stars along the nebula. If you realize that there are stars flowing in the picture, it will become natural.

12. Remove the stars and slightly remove (reduce) the added stars. The stars are left like stripes, and the unnecessary parts are sparsely erased with rubber.

13. Copy the little star layer blurred. Copy the star layer drawn in 1 1, and blur the star layer below with Gaussian blur. The little star seems to glow softly as a whole.

14. superposition tuning is almost the same. Adjust the color and atmosphere from here. Because adjustment is a world that you like and pay attention to, you should make a thorough adjustment before making something you like!

In the example, you superimposed the layer style, painted it yellow with a pen, and reduced the opacity of the layer to 45% for blending. Although it is difficult to understand, it is so light and soft, with a yellow color.

15. Use "dark" and "bright" to create space, and express the breath of space by creating "dark" and "bright" in painting.

The first is the "dark place". Multiply the layer pattern by multiplication, and paint black (or dark blue) on the canvas edge with a large pen to align it with the canvas edge. Just like when you just made a gradient, it would be natural for the color boundary to be a little rounded. If it is too dark, reduce the opacity to a level that looks natural.

16. Create space with "dark" and "bright" (continued) followed by "bright".

Followed by "bright places." Paint white (or light green) on the layer mode "Screen" or "Normal" with a large pen so as to follow the edge below the canvas. If it becomes too bright, reduce the opacity to a level that looks natural.

17. Repeat 14~ 16 times until you accept that the whole feeling is as gloomy as a cloudy day, so you try to put blue on the overlay. Besides, I didn't feel close enough, so I added a little star to reduce the opacity to 26%. Repeat this adjustment until you are satisfied. (There is no further adjustment in this example)

It's done.
