Level: Intermediate
Time: 1 h+
Steps: 85 steps85

Step 81

Now change the blending mode for this layer to “Divide” on Layer panel.

Step 82

Here’s how the work began to look after the addition of texture.

Step 83

It remains to add a small, but very important and beautiful detail – optical flare. Go to File › Place… and select file with optical flare (Blurry Blue By CodeDraco).

Step 84

Place it as shown in the figure. It should be approximately at the level of the hole in the window.

Step 85

Now change the blending mode for this layer to “Screen” on Layer panel.

Step 86

Here is the final result with all layers. I hope you enjoyed it!

  I added an alternative that you can use. It’s a different pose but should still work.

  Thanks for letting us know about the link! It appears the artist took his stock offline but I’ve posted an alternative link to it.

Всем привет! Все комменты не читал, может кто-то уже написал. Урок отличный! Только один недочёт, заметил всё-таки. Винты надо было по гаусу размыть. Я размыл их. А то, получается, верталёт летит а винты не крутятся, стоят. Спасибо за урок!!! Урок классный! :)

  Спасибо большое! Я очень ценю это! Я старалась. Нет, вы первый :) С точки зрения реалистичности то все верно. Я не стала этого делать потому что много разных эффектов и винты почти не видно. Я очень рада, что вы сделали такое открытие! Значит мои старания были не напрасны! Будут вопросы, обращайтесь :) и спасибо большое еще раз!

I am currently working on this and I wanted to figure out in step 34 where you add a white to transparent gradient you show to select a gradient from black to white so I wanted to find out if this was a image error or ?

  Hi! No there is not a black to white and white to transparent. Black can not be there. Look near numeral. This is my shortcoming in imposing numbers. Sorry. Thank you for your comment.
