How To Draw A Lightsaber Easy

In today'due south tutorial I will testify y'all how to realise the light beam of a lightsaber!

Every bit get-go step, you will learn how to crop one of the grip from the original image in order to depict the lightsaber characteristic laser. Select the whole outline of the lightsaber with freehand pick tool (the third tool from the correct on the left column).

Once you have blocked out the image, click onModificy -> Re-create and create a new image (the size depends from the lightsaber dimensions). Beginning create a new transparent layer chosen "lightsaber": click on layer—> New layer. Then paste the lightsaber only created.

At this indicate I will illustrate how to enlarge/make the paradigm smaller and how to rotate it.

Every bit first thing, delimit the image with selection tool, then alter the dimensions with scale tool. While y'all will bemodifying the size, a window with a chain image will appear: if the chain is cleaved, y'all can freely modify the image size; if it is locked, yous must respect the relationship betwixt length and width. So regulate the lightsaber size preserving the relationship between the sides.

Then rotate the image with rotation tool, so the lightsaber grip will be lightly rotated. The next footstep consists of creating the beam of calorie-free. Create a new transparent layer chosen "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation" and draw a line with path tool in this way:

There are different ways to describe the lightsaber beam: nosotros will use brush tool with white color and a suitable size: it volition be the width of the light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation axle. Then click onAlter -> Sketch pathand a window will open:

Configure the settings in the image above, the past just created with the brush will be traced over. Using a round castor, the lightsaber tip volition be smoothed out!

Then erase with the rubbera the laser part above the grip in gild to get an outcome similar to the image below:

Our artwork just need some blur around the laser axle! We will create a bluish (or another colour you prefer) shadow clicking onFilters—> Low-cal and shadow —> Projection shadow, configure the settings in the paradigm below:

Somewhen, I sugget to duplicate this layer three times, in order to highlight the light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation beam blur. Click on the symbol beneath the layers:
