Fruit Tutorial

Ok so here’s a easy tutorials using vectors and

And eye candy> bevel

And of course your own imaginations

An orange

Open a new 500x500 transparent image

And then with your foreground null and background an orange colour

I used #ee9730 create a circle using your ellipse tool set to circle and line width 2

Pull out a circle like so

Now using your pen tool right click on a node convert to path and now we need to

Add some nodes to shape our orange so with control key pushed in and using left mouse

Add two nodes near the bottom node on our circle like so when near the line a little +add will

Pop up click with left mouse and node will appear

Now click on your middle node and pull up just slightly

Now repeat these steps to add two nodes to the top of orange just slightly wider this time

And again pull down the middle node just slightly

now convert your layer to raster

Now use your magic wand to click the outside of the orange as we are going to add our shadowing

Using your airbrush with the following settings

Size 40, hardness 30, step 1, density 40, thickness 100, rotation 0, Opacity 20, blend mode normal, and rate 25

Choose a darker orange #e78411 add a new raster

Now use the airbrush to mark around the edge of your orange

Now choose a lighter orange #f1b267 and add a new raster

Add the lighter shading around the inner layer of the dark shading like so

Go back to your dark shading layer and add adjust>blur>Gaussian blur of 30

Then go to your light shading layer and add Gaussian blur of 35

Now you merge visible but do not deselect

Lets add our bevel I have used eye candy 5> bevel with the following settings

two images one for basic tab one for lighting tab before clicking ok

Deselect

Using your selection tool with ellipse pull out a small oval near top of orange for more shading

With your first colour #ee9730

Now using your lighten/darken brush with the following settings

Size 15, hardness 50, step 25, density 100, thickness 100, rotation 0, opacity 32, mode RGB

You need to darken toward back of the oval shape and lighten toward the front

With your pen tool freedraw, and line width two and your foreground colour your dark orange draw a small line near the oval to highlight it like so

That’s your basic orange... Now if you like can add a stick and leaf or two

Here we go

Using your pen tool with the following settings

Freedraw, Tracking 10, create on vector, straight line, width 15, anti-alias checked

Choose a foreground brown colour #86541a

Null background

Draw out a line

Convert to raster

If you have eyecandy>texture>wood can use that I used redwood

Otherwise use eyecandy>bevel with the following settings

For the leaf with foreground null and background green #5ece12

Using your pen tool again convert to path and shape the leaf

Add nodes as necessary till it is a shape you like

Convert to raster

Now to add the veins

Again using pen tool changing your width to about 3

And with your foreground a dark green # 50a913

Mark our some veins then convert to raster and

Adjust>blur>Gaussian blur 3

Well that's it...I hope you enjoy this tutorial..

the basic concept of this tutorial could be used for many different fruits it's all about

experimenting with shapes and vectors

hope you have fun

Ok so here’s a quick
and easy tutorials using vectors and

The time a Strawberry

Open a new 500x500
transparent image

And then with your
foreground null and background a Red colour

I used #f11533 create
a circle using your ellipse tool set to circle and line width 2

Pull out a circle

Now using your pen
tool right click on a node convert to path

Pull out the bottom
Node and slightly to the left

Convert layer to
raster

Now go to eye candy
bevel and use the following settings basic and lighting tabs

Now for the slightly
longer task of adding the seed

Using your ellipse
shape and black as your background colour

Draw out a little
shape

Continue to do this
all over the strawberry then convert to raster

Use eye candy bevel
again with the following settings basic and lighting tabs

Now for the leaves

Using your ellipse
tool

Using green #50a913

Draw out a small oval
shape

Use your pen tool and
convert to path and then shape your leaf

Once shaped convert
layer to raster

Duplicate layer twice
and then using deform tool move your shapes to form basic

Leaf pattern

Now go to 3d>
effects>inner bevel and use the following settings

Merge visible and
save

You’re done

Hope you enjoyed this
tutorial

And don’t forget to
have fun and experiment
