How to make an origami-style three-dimensional weather icon in PS

To make a small weather forecast icon with a cut/origami effect, the main tool used is path, and the texture and three-dimensional effect are reflected through the transition of light and dark levels of light and shadow.

Production method

Overview of the entire layer classification

Making background

Make the sun (my layers are a bit confusing, I’m sorry, let’s just take a look at it, and if you don’t understand it, you’ll understand it slowly)

Make the second one (the sun is divided into three pictures) Layer, Ellipse Tool Transform)

Create a third

Select a new layer to create a shadow.

Filter – Blur

Remove excess at home

Adjust the gradient tool.

Use the Gradient Tool and drag it to the middle.

Make your own creases. Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool or the Vector Tool to drag 3 bars with the colors below from light to dark to adjust the transparency.

Making clouds

Because TT was lazy when making it, the edges were very rough, like dog gnawing, and they were processed later. [Everyone must know what I am lazy about] (┬＿┬)~So here I strictly hope that everyone can use a pen to make a perfect selection)

Copy the first layer of the picture above.

Change position.

Use the rectangular marquee tool to vertically pull 3 bars with the colors below from light to dark to adjust the transparency.

Duplicate the first piece of paper layer and then deform and stretch it. Note: (Use the method of sun projection above to make the shadow of the clouds)

Adjust the gradient overlay in the layer style.

The clouds are done.

Copy 2 clouds and position them to adjust the size.

Start making water drops, see the diagram↓

Duplicate the layer, change the color, and add a mask to cover half of it.

Copy a layer and transform it to change the color.

Change the color on the duplicate layer and add a mask to cover half of it.

You can adjust the layer style of the top layer to have more texture (you can also add no style)

Start the projection of water droplets below (the same as the sun-cloud projection above) Method)

After making the projection layer (it is best to copy a projection layer for better effect)

Finally copy the prepared water droplets "Change the color of each water droplet" + (number, size, color, position, self-design)

Create the title of the work

Setting the font layer style

Complete.

Final effect!

Hope it helps!
