Step 31

Now I'll open a new Layer Group. With a Layer Group your layers palette will look less cluttered and there will be less need to scroll.Create a new Layer Group by clicking on the Layer Group icon Layers Palette at the bottom of your layers palette. It's important that you name your layer groups, otherwise you will get confused when you have a few of them. My Layer Group name is "Bird" and drag your layers for bird to this Group.

Step 32

After naming the Layer, make a new layer in this Group and name it Light...I used a large soft brush with a yellow color.To add lighter fur use a medium size hard brush and turn down the opacity and flow to 60%. At this step I would like to detail to eyes and its body feathers. Try not to lift your pen too much. Too many stroke will destroy the smooth gradient effect we are trying to achieve.
