St. George Ribbon- the same constant attribute of military holidays, like salute, Eternal flame, parade of troops and others. The history of the St. George Ribbon has been going on for a long time. Back in the years of the reign of the Russian Empress Catherine II, the ribbon was established as a reward for valiant service and loyalty to Russia and the autocracy to Russian soldiers and officers. In the days of the Great October socialist revolution the ribbon was attached to their jackets by the sailors of the Russian fleet.
Now we attach this discreet strip of fabric to our clothes during the celebration of the great Victory Day on May 9th. These days, the St. George Ribbon action is always taking place, when these ribbons are handed out to passers-by on the streets so that they do not forget about our history and the war. The tape is long strip fabrics in two colors: yellow-orange and black. Let's draw it here in several stages. The drawing will not be difficult
Stage 1. We draw two straight lines under the ruler: vertical long and horizontal short. Draw an oval above the horizontal line so that vertical line was its axis of symmetry. Below we outline two parallel strokes.
Stage 2. Let's outline an oval, forming the features of a loop, the edges of which go forward one above the other. The edges of the ribbon should be widened. Below, with a ribbon-shaped figure, we show the element of the subject of our lesson.
Stage 3. In the upper part, add two lines to the image of the loop. And from the bottom we add the edges of the ribbon from both ends. They are uneven, cut at an angle. It turned out at the bottom of the tape in three waves.
Step 4. Add lines in the center of the ribbon.
Well, now let's start creating our St. George ribbon. Let's open graphics editor Adobe Photoshop, create a blank canvas with the dimensions we need. If you need markup, then we set the guides. After that, with the pen tool, we will begin to create the shape of our ribbon. First, draw one side of the ribbon.
After the shape of one side of the ribbon is created, we will create the second one, but we will not draw it, we will simply copy the one that we have already created and expand it horizontally. To do this, select the layer with the shape of the first side and drag it to the icon at the bottom of the layers palette create a new layer or go Go to Layer > Duplicate Layer. Then make the duplicated layer active, flip it horizontally. Do the horizontal reflection as follows, go to the menu Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontally. We get the following result as in the screenshot below.
And finally, creating our form St. George ribbon Let's create a connection between the two sides. We also use the pen tool.
Let's move on to creating the main color of the ribbon, we will have a gradient orange color. Which we will apply using a layer style to all three ribbon elements. We make a double click on the layer with the tape, which will be on top, thereby we will call layer style, where we assign gradient overlay.
Using the same principle, we will overlay the gradient with the rest of the ribbon elements, changing only the shade of the gradient.
The form of the St. George Lena with the main color is ready, now we will apply black stripes. Using the same pen tool, create a line outline on top of our shape layer. Then click right click mouse over the path and choose to fill the path, the color should be black.
Then duplicate it twice, adjust the location. And let's merge these three standing with a black stripe into one. Next, select the layer with the shape of the tape, on which the stripes were drawn by pressing the key Ctrl + mouse click on the ribbon shape layer icon. Let's go back to the layer with black stripes, invert the selected area by pressing the keys Shift +Ctrl+I. Then we press Delete as a result, we will remove the extra pieces of black stripes that went beyond the shape of the tape.
Next, using the same method, we will create a black stripe on other parts of our tape. Let's place the stripes on top of our shape layers. Forms will also be set in the correct order. Screenshot of the order and what should come out below.
Well, now the tape is ready, it remains to give it volume due to light and shadow. We will need a brush with soft edges and opacity of 15-20%, for the shadows we will use black for the light - highlight is yellow (#f0d464).
Let's start with the shadow, for this we will create a new layer above the black stripes that are located above the bottom ribbon strip. Next, we need to load the selection of the bottom strip so that when we create shadows, they do not go beyond the borders of the ribbon. To do this, press Ctrl+ click mouse over the layer of the lower shape of the ribbon, we should load the selection, go to the new shadow layer created and on it we will begin to apply strokes with a soft brush with black color in places where we should have a shadow.
And in conclusion, in the same way as the shadows, we apply light - a highlight on our St. George ribbon. One difference is that we create a layer not above the bottom strip of the tape, but above the top one.
On this, all the St. George ribbon has been created, the result can be seen below, I added a shadow under the ribbon background and an inscription.
I hope the lesson turned out to be understandable and you will not have any difficulties when creating it. If you have any questions, write in the comments.
