Rendering the Bear

For my image, I eventually changed my bear’s shading color to a yellow tone.

 

For rendering the bear and wings, make sure to use the brush asset “Dry Oozing watercolor” from the downloaded materials. Create a new layer in the bear’s group layer at the top of everything.

As an intermediate artist, you should have some knowledge when rendering your character.

Tips to note

Use big shapes for the shading and lighting

Pay attention to the light sources in the picture

Use layer modes that make your character fit into the scene.

 

 

Working on the background

Go to the background layer group and create a dark gradient for the upper sky. Change the layer mode to your liking.

After that, drag the “Glitter 02” and “Glitter 04” materials from the downloads on top of the background. Adjust the layers and their modes based on your creativity.

Once done, my work looks like this.

Adding Effects

Afterward, create a group layer for effects above the bear’s group layer. Create new layers for glowing effects. Use any brush that you like to create the glow around the bear’s wings and halo.

Add a layer on top of everything in the effect’s group layer to make the image appear darker. Use the bucket tool, select a dark color, and fill in the canvas. Adjust the layer mode and it’s opacity accordingly.

Afterward, use “Light” brush from the downloaded assets, create a layer above the overlay layer, and create sparkles on top of the wings.

Lastly, add the “Normal sketch” asset material on top of the effects layer group. Adjust the layer’s opacity and mode to what you prefer.

 

Add a watermark, or signature on a new layer above everything. Use the text tool.

 

The painting is complete. Reward yourself for the hard work you have achieved!
