1. Class Five Introduction: Welcome to class 55, creative ways in Eichler
armor for digital artists. In this class, you will learn even more techniques to
use in Eichler armor. If you're new to Eichler armor, I encourage you to follow cause one to learn the basics
of this wonderful app. I'd like to remind you that
the Eichler on the app is only around six US
dollar and a one-off price. It's a real bargain, I believe. For the apps versatility. I would like to introduce you to another five creative
ways to use this. We'll begin with the
explode effects. Then. Another way of using blend. The Swan uses the leak effect. And I'll show you
how to say in PNG, the young girl shows three different treatments
of the same image. Finally, I used organic and grunge finishes on
the elephant head. Plus I demonstrate how
to use the clone tool. All ready. Let's go.
2. Lesson One Explode Effect Underwater Head: Welcome to Lesson one. In this lesson, we will explore
they explode effect and finish off with a linear effect to give an underwater look. So let's begin. Open up eye color armor. Tap the Window on the top
left and import your image. This image is from Unsplash
and copyright-free. Look at the image you've
chosen and make sure there's a fairly bland background
like we have this sky here. The contrast is quite good. Now we're going to start by
going into form and crop. Now bear in mind that you need room for the
explosion to show up. So I'm going to take half
of the picture away. Tap, Save to adjustments. Make the exposure
and little better. So I'm going to
adjust an exposure. Going to put the
contrast up to 70%, the exposure up to 40, and the brightness to 15. I think that's a
little too bright. Just put the brightness at ten. Saved to adjustments. Then we're going
to go into brush, book along towards the
right and find explode. Tap the window in
the bottom right, and choose number one. Now tap the settings
and we're going to make the Edge about 50 per cent. Tap off the manual rotation and put the rotation up to about 50. Tap on the Settings again. Now we're going to increase
the size quite a bit. Tap with your finger or the Apple pencil where you
want the explosion to occur. That looks quite good. And I'm also going to tap
the picture on the bottom right to make it look as if something else is
exploding around there. I'm happy with that. So I'm going to save
two adjustments. Next, we're going to go
into presets and lineal. Tap the window in the
bottom right-hand corner. And we're going to go down. You can see all the
different effects. But for this particular one, I've chosen number 17. The window again. Now, I think this looks
quite good because it makes it look as
if it's underwater. So I'm going to save
that to adjustments. Next, we're going
to go into texture. Go along until we see bubbles. Tap the window in the
bottom right-hand corner. You can see all the
different bubbles. I thought since we're looking
at an under water effects, a few bubbles would
add to the picture. Looked at quite a few, and I ended up choosing Thursday
to tap the window again. Now with your finger
moves, the bubbles. Decrease the size a little bit until they
look about, right. Then save to adjustments. And I picture is finished. So I'm going to now save the
picture to the camera roll. Let's just look at the history and refresh
what we've done. We started off with this image. We've cropped it. We
adjusted the contrast. We added the explosions. We went into linear and
chose an underwater effects. And finally, we
added the bubbles. And we'll move on to lesson two.
3. Lesson Two The Veiled Woman: Welcome to lesson two. I particularly
like this creation which utilizes the oil finish, blend, hostile and our waves. The images from Pixabay
and the pattern created in Eichler armor in an
earlier class. Enjoy. Open up eye color armor. Tap the picture icon
on the top left, and import the
image of the lady. Now we're going to
go into style and painterly tap the window
in the bottom right, and choose the one
marked orally phi one. Say that two adjustments. Now we're going to go
into effects and blend. In the bottom right, there's a picture icon, tap that and choose the pattern. The pattern needs rotating and widening a little
to fit the picture. Let's tap zoom and moves the picture in so
we can see all of it. Tap zoom again to
set the position. Now we're going to turn
the feature down to 50%. Tap the brush, mask, tap the brush, and choose
number one, the basic. Tap the brush again. I reduce the brush
size quite a lot. We going to uncover the eyes very carefully. Removes the pattern
from the eyes. Leaving it over the nose
and mouth to form a veil. There. That's about right. Let's try moving the
opacity down a little. Yes, I like that. So we're going to
save two adjustments. Now. We're going
to go into town. And Postel tap the window
in the bottom right. You can see all different kinds of shades you can achieve. With the pastel effect. She can see there's some
quite interesting ones. Choose whichever you like. But for this purpose, I'm going to choose number two. Now I'm going to change the
Gamma up slightly to 20. I going to put the
contrast a little bit. I think we'll leave it as it is. That's about right. So we're going to
save two adjustments. And now we're going
to go to texture. And we're going to put a
paper texture on press paper. Tap the window in
the bottom right. There's all sorts of paper
textures you can choose from. In this case, I'm going
to choose number eight, which is quite a subtle texture. Play back with the
size and intensity. I think it's quite
good as it is. So I'm going to say
that two adjustments. Now we're going to stay
in texture and go to always tap the window
in the bottom right. And you can see all sorts
of different effects. Just to give some
added interests. Can't remember which
one I originally chose, but we'll let's look at this one and then just move
it and expand it. What gives quite a
nice ethereal effect? Chat window again, I like that, so we're going to
save two adjustments. Now let's look at our history. We started off with a
picture of the lady, went to painterly and
chars, an oil finish. We went to effect some blend and put a pattern over the top. Then we use the mask to
reveal the face and the eyes. And then we went to pasta and we chose a
nice pastel color. Then we went into paper and
puts a fine texture on there. I'm finally, we went to our waves just to add a
little bit more interest. And that's our
completed picture. So now we're going to go
to the top right and save to camera roll the
end of lesson two. So let's go and start
less than three.
4. Lesson Three The Swan: Welcome to lesson three. I thought we would
have a change of pace and create a tranquil
scene with this swan. And now we're going to use the leaky fact texture,
paint and blend. In addition, I will show you how to save the file as a PNG, so no background is visible. Let's begin. Open up Eichler armor. Tap the picture icon
in the top left. I'm bringing your
picture of the swan. Now we're going to
go to form and crop. Just bring the picture
in a little on the left and save two adjustments. Next, we're going to
go to Style and water. Tap the window in the
bottom right-hand corner. And we're going to
choose number two. That looks a nice soft picture. Save two adjustments. Now we're going to go to texture and look along the
second menu and find leak. Tap the window in the
bottom right-hand corner. And we're going to
find number 30. I thought that gave a
really pretty effect. Going to rotate this a 100%. So the pink and green go in the places that look the best. I'm going to press the
screen and tap soft. Going to save that adjustment. Staying in texture. Look along the second menu
and find miscellaneous. Tap the window in
the bottom right, and choose number seven. Tap the window again to
get rid of the menu. Now with your finger, Let's enlarge this a little bit up into the top
right-hand of the screen, which gives us a
nice moon effects. Save two adjustments. Now staying in
texture will find, I said at the beginning
of the sub-menu, paper, tap the window
in the bottom right. And we're going to
choose number eight. Tap the window again to
get rid of the menu. And we're going to save
this to our camera roll. Now we're going to tap the picture icon on
the top left and bring in the picture of the owl. I've actually isolated
this picture in Procreate that I'm providing it for you as a PNG so you
can use it straight away. Now we're going to go
to Style and painterly. Tap the window in
the bottom right and choose number four,
the paint effect. Now we're going to save
this picture as a PNG. So go up to the top
arrow, the top right. But don't just save, save as a PNG. And that will save the owl
with I2 background on it. Next spring in the picture of the swan that
you've just saved. Go to effects and blend. Tap the picture icon
in the bottom right. I'm bringing the picture of the owl that you've just saved. Now we're going to reduce
that in size and position it. And we're going to reduce
the feature quite a lot. So it's just a suggestion
of an owl flying by. Let's look at the screens. And we're going to
put the screen on Multiply just to deepen
the color a little bit. And that's our
picture completed. So go to the top right and save to your camera roll
as a normal picture. Now let's move on to class four.
5. Lesson Four The Young Girl: Welcome to lesson four. This point, new photo
of a girl appeal to me. I soften the image with water, be adjusted with tone,
lab and texture. I've added an
additional treatment. You can try using
NetFlow and sepia. Let's go open up Eichler armor. Tap the picture icon in
the top left corner, and bring in the
picture as a girl. Now we need to crop
this picture so we'll go to form a crop, moves the panels in at the side, and we'll crop it up as well. They're safe to adjustments. Now we're going
to go into style. And water. Tap the window in the bottom
right and choose preset to. That gives us a nice soft image. Saved to adjustments. Now go to adjust back along the menu to the
left and choose tone lab. Tap the window in
the bottom right, next to all the different
tones you can get. But in this instance, we're going to choose number 16. Just brightens it up a
little safe to adjustments. Now we're going to
go into texture and find Bokeh to tap the window in the bottom right. Are we going to choose
number four? Position? The little bokeh bubbles
to the top left. Tap the window again. Now I tap the circle mask. And the plus sign and position
the mask over the face. Increase the blur. Chris, the mass slightly, the circle mask off. We're just clear the bokeh
bubbles away from the face. Now staying in texture, we're going to go to
paper and presets five, tap the window in
the bottom right, and choose precessed five. You can see that the
paper texture leaves the face where the
circle mask is free. The texture. Going to
save that to adjustments. Now we'll have a
look at the history. We started off with our picture. We crop the picture. We pose a nice
watercolor effect on. We adjusted the
tone in turn lab. We put the texture on. I can see that I didn't
save the bubbles. So we'll just go back into biochar to the
bubbles back in position. The brush mask, the radius mask again, and we'd put the
brush mask back on. You'll find nine again
that you do forget to save the adjustment
like I've just done. So you can always
just go back a step and repeat the step
that you didn't save. So now we can save that
to our camera roll. I'm going to show you another
way to treat this photo. Will go into history and
choose the cropped picture. Then we'll go to style. Look along the bottom
menu and find ET flow. Press the window in the bottom rise and choose preset for. That gives us a nice
sketch of the girl. Save two adjustments. Now going to tone and sepia. Tap the window in
the bottom right. You can see all different ways. You can change this sketch. I ended up choosing number 60. I thought that
looked quite nice. So I'm going to save
to adjustments. And then I'm going
to go into texture right to the beginning of the
second menu and tap paper. Tap the window in
the bottom right, I'm choose preset one. I just quite like
that line effect. For a change in
the paper texture. Save to your camera roll. And that's our second treatment. Now for our third treatment, we're going to choose a crop picture like
we did in class one. We're going to make this
picture into the tune effects, which I think will
work quite well. So we're going to go to style
and to save the adjustment. And the picture needs
cropping again. So we go back into form
and crop just moves the side thing and
save the adjustment. Not to give it a little
bit more interest to this tune picture. We're going to go into texture. And Bokeh three. Tap the window in
the bottom right. And you see this, flowers, hearts and stars. Thought hearts would work
quite well with his picture. So I went with number 35. Now with my finger, I just moved the heart's over a little. Press the window to get
rid of the menu there. And I press the circle
mask and the plus sign. And just expand the
circle mask over the face and position it. Increase the blur radius. So it's a softer
drop-off of the hearts. That looks about right. Tap the circle mask again,
unsafe to adjustments. Now finally, we'll put a paper
texture on this picture. So we're going to press, pipe it to staying in texture. Press the window in
the bottom right. Look at the different textures. By thought. Number
16, look quite good. It's almost like a
crumpled paper effect. Tap the window again
to remove the menu. That's our finished picture. And you'll notice that
the paper effects hasn't gone over the mask
part of the face, which gives us a little
bit more contrast. So we're going to save
this to our camera roll. And then we have three ways
of treating the same picture. So let's move on to
the next lesson.
6. Class Five Lesson Five: Welcome to lesson five. I'm going to introduce you to some new treatments we
haven't covered so far. We'll create this picture of
an elephant herd using flow, drama tone, then clone
parts of the picture. Then we'll put on to new
textures, organic and grunge. So let's get started. Open up our color armor. Go to the pitch icon
in the top left. I'm bringing the picture
of the elephants. Now first of all, we're going to go into
style and then flow. Tap the window in the
bottom right-hand corner. And we're going to
stay with number one. We're going to say
that two adjustments. Next will go to town. Look along the second
menu and find drama. Go to the window in
the bottom right. And I look through these, and I ended up
choosing number 13. I thought that gave quite a
nice light to the picture. So we're going to save
that to adjustments. And next we're
going to get rid of this little man that's in the middle of
the picture there. So we're going to go to
the brush and clone. Now simply tap a part of the picture that you
want to clone the man out. There is gone. Save to adjustments. And next we'll go to texture. Long the menu and find organic. Though to the window
in the bottom right. There's all sorts of
organic textures here. In fact, lots of them. A 144. I look through these
and I chose 39. So let's go down and find 39. There. I thought that gave a nice ethereal feeling to the picture. So we're going to save
that to adjustments. Staying in texture, we're
going to choose grunge to tap the window in the
bottom right-hand corner. And you can see there's
lots of different effects. That's quite nice
actually, number ten. But I ended up going
with number 15. I thought that cracks look, seem to work with the elephants. Tap the window again
to remove the menu. But we're going to
reduce the intensity right down to 15%. You can play around
with the size, but I think it's
about right as it is. Then tapped the screen
icon that says multiply. We're going to change
this to overlay. That gives quite a nice effect. So we'll save to adjustments. And staying in texture
will go right to the beginning of the second
menu and into paper. Tap the window in
the bottom right. Now chose preset for and
that's our picture complete. Save two adjustments. We'll just have a
look at the history. Started off with this image. We went into flow. We change the tone with drama. Then we went into brushing clone and removes the
little man in front. Organic texture,
grunge to texture. I'm finishing off
with a paper texture. So you're all finished
and we're now going to save that picture
to our camera roll.
