step-025

Step 26

As you can see, armor have floral ornaments. Add new layer. By using small, soft brush and white beige (#eceae5) color draw on the edges of ornaments. Try to avoid shadowed fragments. I also used some brown strokes, for better look.

step-026

With the same settings draw contour on arms. Then, change blending mode to Screen and opacity to 69% (^^).

step-026a

Step 27

On new layer I added also contour of the gown, arms and hair.

step-027

Step 28

It’s time to make hair. You can use brush or whole stock to make it. But! Why no both? I used stock and pen tablet to make hair.

step-028
step-028a

Step 29

Back below layer with the model. Place smoke stock as is shown.

step-029

Step 30

Then add adjustment layer with Hue/Saturation. You will make it brighter. Set it as shown. Make it clippy by RMB > Create clipping mask.

step-030

Step 31

By holding ctrl choose smoke and adjustment layer. Duplicate it. Next, by clicking Ctrl + T flip it horizontally.

step-031

Step 32

Create new layer – above smoke, below model. Choose gradient tool. Set it white – transparent and fill it as is shown:

step-032

Set blending mode to Soft light and opacity to 65%.

step-032a

Step 33

Place to your file particles stock (below model, above gradient layer). Change blending mode to Screen and opacity to 69%.

step-033

Step 34

Repeat this step. I used three particles layers on background (with the same settings).

step-034

Step 35

If everything is clear, it’s time to make a mask. Place stock into the file. Isolate part of it as is shown (by masking).

step-035

Step 36

Add adjustment layer with Curves. Make it clippy. It gives unitary tone for the whole stock.

step-036

Step 37

Next, add clipping adjustment layer with Hue/Saturation. It will give better possibility to adjust everything to background and model.

step-037

Step 38

On this adjustment layer add mask. With gray, soft brush erase some places. Leave only top of the prop.

step-038

Step 39

Add again clipping Hue/Saturation layer.

step-039

Step 40

Create new clipping layer. Pick soft, dark-brown brush and draw on the centre of her mask. Use brush with dynamic opacity for making shadows and lights.

step-040

Step 41

Change blending mode of drawn layer to Multiply and Opacity to 70% – If you used lesser opacity of brush, place will be lighter and vice versa.
