All use material

Step 1 First Steps

Open the forest picture, double click to unlock and copy a layer, so that we are in the next step to modify the picture to the forest clearly that layer, and save this PSD

Step 2 Second

Move in the beauty figure, create a layer mask, erase the background of the character, this allows the character to be visible on the forest background, you can use the Pen tool (P), The Magic Wand tool (W), the Quick Selection tool (W), the Magnetic Lasso tool (L), or use the black soft pen to erase the character's background and button out the characters.

Black on unwanted backgrounds so that characters can be detached from the background, and the part of the persona remains white. Using Ctrl+t, the character is free to deform, make her proportions fit, reference the sample, and save this layer named beauty.

Step 7 Seventh

We're done with our hair. It's a good start, but there are a lot of steps we need to get done to know that the hair looks more real. Select the 3 new hair-related layers you just created, press ctrl+e, press CTRL+J to copy a layer, move and rotate the layer to make it look better.

Step 8 Eighth

Create a new layer, on the left shoulder of the beauty with a brush on the hair, (that is, the image on the right side-the translator), move and rotate the layer to the next position, and finally in black hair to add some green hair, the effect is shown in the figure below.

Step 9 Nineth

In order to finish the character's hairstyle, we also have to add some green hair to the character's hair, and move it to the right place. Now finally draw some black hair on top of the green hair. When you have completed the following hairstyle style for the effect chart, press CTRL + E. Rename the layer with the name of the hair.

Step 10 Tenth

Drag into the crown material, remove the other pixels, leave the crown part, move the layer above all layers, and adjust the crown size appropriately according to the person's face. Press ctrl+t, free deformation (refer to the following figure-translator). Then add the mask, select the small soft brush (foreground color is black), Erase the crown from the face. So we can see the face of the character again.

Step 11 11th

To make the crown look more tactile, we add a little bit of jewellery to it. Create a new layer, simply use the elliptical box tool to pull out an ellipse, stroke it, with a dark gray (1px). Fill this ellipse with a red #c52418, then use the Burn Tool (O) to fit a part, and then use the Dodge tool ( O) makes the color of the ellipse appear to have a light sense.

When using the deepen and simple tools, note that the exposure is 10%. Look at the following effect chart, and you can see how to create jewelry. Resize and place it in the middle of the crown, press ctrl+j, and copy a few, as shown in the picture.

Step 12 12th

Select all jewelry layers and press Ctrl+e to merge the layers. I think if they are different colors, it will be more beautiful. Create Hue/saturation, adjust the jewelry layer using the data shown in the following figure, or you can make your own palette. Now add the Layers panel, fill the black, use the small soft white brush, draw the jewelry part, The same is true for the other hue saturation adjustment layer. This is only part of the color of the jewelry.

Step 13 13th

Well, now it's time to add small animals in. Start with a bird, let it sit on the right arm of the character. Open the bird material, remove the background from the bird, and drag it onto the right arm of the beautiful person. Use edit--transform--flip horizontally, let the bird change direction, and adjust the size of the bird to the appropriate size.

Step 17 17th

In this step, we're going to add a sense of touch to the character's face, and we're adding some diamond ornaments to her eyelids. A new layer, located above the makeup layer, (lip gloss, eye shadow), select a small, soft brush (6px), with dark gray tone (#343434).
Next in the eyelid, add 6-7 dots, change the brush size to 3px, switch to light green (#e0eebf). Color on top of them and add the diamond to the 2nd eye in the same way.

Step 18 18th

OK, now we're going to add some butterflies around the character. Ship new layer, select Brush Tool (B), load butterfly brush. About 8 butterflies around the character., choose different colors to color butterflies, put the following picture, skirts, legs, arms, so you can surround the characters.

Step 19 19th

Open the Parrot picture, use the Pen tool (P) or your favorite selection tool to pull the bird out of the bell, drag it into the diagram, transform it freely, resize it, and position it. It's like a parrot that immediately lands on the character's arm.

Step 20 20th

In this step, we will make a deep adjustment to the Flying Parrot. Create a new layer, named Parrot, select, edit-Fill. The color is 50% shades of gray, press ctrl+alt+g, create a clipping mask, select blending mode for soft light, use a small soft pen 10px, strength 10-20%. Now you're going to use a white or black brush to draw shadows and light, instead of a brush using the burn or Dodge tool, but when introducing this method to you (using the deepen or Dodge tool), note that you don't have to create a new layer to handle anything, just draw on the parrot's layer. Create Hue/saturation, saturation-27, Press Ctrl+alt+g to create a clipping mask.

Step 19 19th

Open the Parrot picture, use the Pen tool (P) or your favorite selection tool to pull the bird out of the bell, drag it into the diagram, transform it freely, resize it, and position it. It's like a parrot that immediately lands on the character's arm.

The color is 50% shades of gray, press ctrl+alt+g, create a clipping mask, select blending mode for soft light, use a small soft pen 10px, strength 10-20%.

Step 23 23rd

Now we create a new layer, on the forest layer, fill 50% shades of gray, layer blending mode soft light, select the black soft pen, opacity 30-40%, draw the shaded part, as shown in the following figure.

Step 24 24th

Finally, I'm going to give the whole picture a color adjustment, I used a curve to make the whole picture darker. This depends on the hobby of the individual. Following this diagram, I have added a new layer after adjusting the curve, and painted a different green on it, making the grass at the bottom look greener, It's no longer gray. Of course you can use color or soft light for layer blending mode. Finished.
