This PSD file contains the following steps taken to develop an illustration from a rough oil painting to a refined digital illustration:
- Snapshots of the traditional paint-sketch process—from pencil sketch to value block-in, etc.
- Refining the piece through progressive layers of digital painting—with strategic use of blending modes
- Using adjustment layers to explore different color schemes.
- Adding photo textures in order to create magical particle effects and interesting textures.
- Mocking up text copy as if using the illustration as a book cover image.
