-I used three kinds of brushes. A chalky one, plain airbrush, and a smeary one (oil like). And "dodge tool" in airbrush mode sometimes. I recommend Screen and Softlight option for your painting tools in some cases.
-In my layers I made a selection of the silhouette, then painted it flat, clicked the "preserve transparency" option and I forget about the whole thing of painting outside the figure.
-During the first coloring steps I used three layers. First one: the pencil drawing (opaque & below all). Second: a yellow multiply layer for a yellow base and Third: another multiply layer for the main shadows. All volume of the third step was done freehand with different grays and brushes, changing transparency of my brush very very often.
-I FREE-PAINT THROUGH ALL THE PROCESS, in between my color adjustments.
-I'm addicted to color adjustment tools. Color balance, hue-saturation, curves and even Variations (see the red coat in the 5th step, for example). And Levels to keep contrasts alive all the time.
-In the last step, I flattened the whole thing to paint more highlights without layers and clean some pencil dirt. I love that part.
-I don't have a steady method, so It's difficult to keep track of my "tricks". HONEST! I just use anything that PS offers me... Pay attention to the pictures and figure things out. It's the best way to learn.
Un gran aporte, como siempre Mr! No tenia idea del layer amarillo como base para pintar. Muy buen tutorial, gracias por compartir tan buen arte como siempre!(Creo que esta de mas decir que soy fan de tu trabajo desde hace años! ) Saludos!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
