Với con đường có thể nhìn thấy của bạn (không có thành phần duy nhất được lựa chọn) trên vải, tạo ra một lớp màu mới, vững chắc từ menu ở dưới cùng của bảng Layers. Chọn một màu đen từ bảng chọn và nhấn OK. Điều này tạo ra một lớp màu mới vững chắc được che đậy bởi đường dẫn của bạn, bản chất là một lớp hình dạng. | Part One Drawing and Painting 13 With your path visible yet no single component selected on the canvas create a new solid color layer from the menu at the bottom of the Layers palette. Choose a black color from the picker and click OK. This creates a new solid color layer that is masked by your path essentially a shape layer. You ll notice once again that the Pen tool is now set to create shape layers in the Tool Options bar leave it like this. Enable the Add to Shape Area option in the Tool Options bar. The quickest method for changing the fill color of a solid color layer begins by targeting it in the Layers palette. Once the layer is targeted you can type Alt PC Option Mac -Delete on the keyboard to change the fill color of the layer to your current foreground color. To change it to your current background color type Control PC Command Mac -Delete instead. 14 Reduce the opacity of the layer to 25 in the Layers palette. The logic for doing this will reveal itself very soon. Use the Pen tool to draw additional closed path components within the solid color layer s vector mask where you want black to appear. These components will reveal the black of the solid color layer. The reason why the opacity of the layer is reduced is because as you draw within a vector mask on a layer like this the components effects become visible as you go even before they re closed and it can become visually distracting as you work. 76 Chapter 5 Tracing Photographs 15 With the Pen tool set to Add to Shape Area continue to carefully draw closed path components that trace all of the dark details of the statue. Remember to simplify and stylize details as you see fit. Zoom in and out as necessary while you work. Some areas like her chest ear holes and the space between her neck and shoulders will require a two-step process. The first step is to create path components that cover the entire areas. There is a logic to this as well as we ll be performing a careful subtraction operation next. .
