HERE'S HOW TO WORK WITH COLORED LIGHTS.

1. OPEN YOUR IMAGE, THIS IMAGE ACTUALLY HAS LAYERS BUT I WILL WORK WITH THIS AS ONE IMAGE, CAUSE WHEN YOU TAKE AN IMAGE OFF THE INTERNET OR ANYTHING YOU DON'T HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF LAYERS

***

2. ADD A LAYER AND MAKE THE BASIC SHADOWS, IN THIS CASE BELOW THEM AND BEHIND THEM

*** 

3. ADD A LAYER ON TOP AND FILL IT WITH YOUR CHOICE OF COLOR, I CHOSE PURPLE, I USUALLY WORK WITH SEA GREEN-BLUE, OR RED.

***

4. NOW WITH AND AIR BRUSH ERASER AT 50% OPACITY ERASE THE MAJOR PORTION BUT LEAVE SOME WHEREVER YOU FEEL THE LIGHT WITH HIT THE OBJECT.

*** 

5. ADD A LAYER UNDER IT, WITH THE RADICAL RULER MAKE BEAMS LIKE WE DID FOR THE LAST TUTORIAL, USE THE OTHER OPTION OF STEP 3 N 4 THO. COLOR MUST BE WHITE. BLEND MODE OF THIS LAYER SHOULD BE ADD.

 *** 

6. HIGHLIGHT THE BORDERS WITH THE WHITE BRUSH AND BLUR IT [ON A SEPARATE LAYER]. BLEND MODE MUST BE ADD.

***

7. DUPLICATE THE BEAMS LAYER AND CHANGE THE BLEND MODE OF THE DUPLICATED LAYER TO SCREEN.

***

8. ON YET ANOTHER LAYER, TAKE A LIGHT SHADE OF YOUR MAIN COLOR AND WITH DIE PEN HARD DRAW HIGHLIGHTS. 

***

9. YOU MAY CHANGE THE OPACITY TO SUIT YOUR EYES.

***

RESULT.

THE ORIGINAL ONE THAT I HAD MADE.

***

MORE SAMPLES. NOTICE HOW CHANGE OF SOURCE GIVES DIFFERENT HIGHLIGHTS, IN THE SECOND ONE, YOU WILL NOTICE THERE ARE NO STROKES ON THE HAIR CAUSE THE LIGHT SOURCE IS IN FRONT OF HER AND WE HAVE THE BACK VIEW.

*** 

THOUGHTS?? DID IT HELP??
