Let's get started.
2. Painting Base Color : Welcome. In this class, we will paint red and shiny gum. And at first, start with the
base color of the canvas. Then open new layers
and use black color and try to create the base
color of the a necklace. For example, I want to make eye teardrop shape for the base, and I will continue and create the base layer like this
and open another new layer. Then this time, before
we paint the details, I will put the corner
details like for example, the have some artistic
features like the ornaments, like the frame with the idle and detailed
look for our gam. And with this detail, I will add small but effective
details that will bring our illustration much more interesting
and realistic detail. For example, have some shape
here like this and this. And after this, duplicate this layer and with
the selection tool, flip horizontal and move
it to the other parts. So the background now is shaped, much more interesting and
go to the layers and pinch your two fingers at each other
and make them layer one. And after this open new layer
and with the red color, continue to adding the tail. At this part, I will add
this shape here like this and will hold
my uh, 1 second. Again, I will create
the mass like this, and I will paint it to the red. And next part, I will continue to add
details over it. Thank you.
3. Adding Lights: Hi. In this part, I will show you how to
add details to the gam. So for your gam, just select the base
color and create some different kind
of brush rocks over your illustration to
keep the balance between the colors and add some
dipped into the jab. So please add these details like this quickly and
you can be spontaneous. And after this step, we will continue to create
many deepness into this gam. And I will continue to add
some extra steps here. And in the next steps, we will continue to add much more deep and highlights
over the gam. So you can put also
some highlights over the gam just like this and
see you in the next part.
4. Adding Details: Welcome again. In this part, I will add detail
over the background. So select the
background color and tap the layer and
select Alpha o, then go to the colors and select some dark gray color and continue to edding
details over the edge. With this option, your
brush will only affect the painting area. So other
areas will stay same. And I will add these details by adding some middle tones
over the game just like this, and it is looking really great. And after this, I will open another new
layer with much more a lighter gray, and I will add these small details as
reflections over the neck lace. So these details will be really, really light, and this part
also will be really light. And this part, this
part, this part. I'm adding extra details
over these parts to make the necklace much
more realistic and shiny. Because also the
frame is not flat, so it needs to have
the texture its own. So sometimes you can use red color for give
reflections over the edge. So it will look like
shiny and reflective. And after this point, open another new layer and put the neck lace rope, and I will use this like this, and it will look like this. But after doing it, select the background color and add the details like
this to the middle. And with this way, your line will look like chain. You can dilate
these lidel corners to make it much
more even better. But it is depending
on your choice. It is beginner friendly, so I will just add some ellipse over here
to create the necklace. And this part and this
part will be like this, and, yeah, it is
looking really great. And yeah, thank you. And in the next part, we will
continue to adding details.
5. Adding Micro Details: Welcome again. In this part, we will increase the
tail level of the gum. So select much more
darker color for adding the shadows and use it for adding really dark
places over the gum. But don't overuse it, but just add some dipped at some corners of the gum for
create the realism illusion. We need really dark
parts for our gum. So these parts will be
really, really, really dark, and I will increase the tail level by
adding these darks. So after it, I will select lighter color and we'll
put this reflection much more realistic
and soft touch here for give it a really vibrant and realistic
look just like this. Add some highlights
over the gem and it will bring really great
realism over the illustration. But again, as I say,
don't overuse it, try to use it in some
specific places like always imagine like which place is touching the light most, so it will be better
for the tails. And thank you. And
in the next parts, we will continue to add details. But before it, I will add some lights here just
like this and thank you.
6. Final Details : Welcome. In this part, we will continue to
detailing the illustration. So I will open another new layer and dive into details
and we'll put some white details that bring the neck lace much more alive. And I will continue to create the texture over the
illustration with minimal highlights that brings the realism into this necklace. And I will create the necklace detail just like this with small and
effective details. And for corners, you can open some corners such as these
details of the corner, and it will bring really great realism
into your illustration because we need
some blank spaces to increase the detail level, and I will increase this part, this part and this part. And I will add much more sharp and
effectively details over the illustration
for create the realism. And now I will select red color, and I will apply over here, just like this for make my necklace much more
shiny and effective. And this time, I
will use much more like a sharp edge brush to create the texture
for the necklace. So I will continue to add these details
just like this and will increase the detail
level of the necklace and especially these parts can
be much more textures. We need to see some light
touch effects here. And for middle, I will
use pure white at the most light area and we'll add some highlights
just like this. With adding these small details, my necklace will look
much more detailed. And let's keep adding
details together, and maybe these
parts will be like this and these
parts will be open, and these parts will be open. And I'm adding negative
space over the borders, and it will make our illustration look much
more realistic and effective. And I will continue to painting
this rope just like this. And let's add much more
small details over here, just like this to create
realism even better, and just like this and go to the layers
and collect all layers, then go to the adjustments
and hue saturation. Then add a bit much more
saturation and from curves, I will make it much more sharp. And from the
chromatic abrication You can add some extra colors over your illustration
just like this. But don't overdo it because
it will look your painting much more glitch it. So select noise and add
a bit much noise for create the texture
over your necklace and hope you enjoy this lesson. And at last, I will go to the luminans and I will
add flaers to here, and I will finish
this illustration. Hope you enjoy this lesson, and I can't wait for show you much more in
the next lessons and see you and thank you for
joining me in this class. And I'm just trying to put some extra shiny details
over here and thank you.
7. Painting Base Colors - Butterfly Necklace: Welcome. In this class, we will paint
butterfly necklace. At first, start with
putting the gray scale over the background as usual
and open another new layer. The select a very smooth line. You can use any sketch
brush for this step, and we will start to
sketching our necklace. So I will start with from
the middle of the necklace, and I will paint the details of the
butterfly just like this. And just like this, I'm adding the tails
of the butterfly, and it is just a sketch, so I will make it much
more interesting later. And I open another new
layer, and this time, I will start from this corner, like middle and I will divide middle to two, just like this. And I will start sketching the
one part of the butterfly. But it will be
really clean sketch because it will be
my also guideline. So I will make this part really clean and much more defined. So just like this. And for these wings, I will make the
outline at first. And after outline, you can put the general details
in it just like this. I don't know if
you want to paint your butterfly wing like garden color or
different kind of color. But in this class, I will make it garden with some transparent look
like glitterally. So maybe head part will be
really something like this. And yeah. And this part will go like this. So after it, delete
background like sketch and duplicate layer and pip horizontal and move
it to the other part. So with this option, you will create the butterfly's necklace look symmetrical if
you painting symmetrical. So connect the layers and open another
new layer under it. Now, I will select
some golden color, and I will start with
painting the middle of it. Just put the base
color of it at first. And also at the wings, I will use the same color. I will paint with all areas with the simple colors
just like this. And looking really great right now and I will continue to adding detail just like this. Yeah, it is looking really, really great right now with a simple solid color
at the background. You can always dilate the
extra parts of your necklace. So after this detail, I will delete this
middle thing for my necklace because I don't
want to make it visible. So I deleted it. And also, I will go to colors and will select really darker color
for a metallic look. So I will add this color
over here just like this. And this color will be
something like this. And I will use much more vibrant color for make it look really
shiny and golden. So this middle will
be discolor and this corner will be
discolor just like this. And after it, I will use really lighter color
here for make it really, really metallic and javelr look. So for the wings, you can use the same tactic
like using the orange tone and lighter color into it for catch much more
metallic look. So it is shiny metal. So we will see some
color switches and hues and dark hues of this
color maybe like this. And I will use and
continue to shading here. And these parts
will be like this. And let's put orange
again and maybe white, a bit yellowish white here. And I will continue doing
this wings just like this. And four corners, you can
use this orange color for create much more dipped into your necklace,
just like this. And go to the sketch
layer and change the layer mode to something
else like overlay for make it less visible and
use a razor and dilate some black parts if
you see it really so
8. Adding Details to Butterfly Necklace: Wrong. So after this point, you can paint over sketch
if you wish and create some dark hues and
extra details that will make the illustration
much more looking metallic. So overlay will burn
the colors just like this and we'll add some sharp look over
your illustration. You can use this technique for blend the colors,
much more burn. And open another new
layer at the top of it and continue to shading. Just like this, I'm adding
the shadows here and here. And again, I will put
shadows here, here. And here like this
with these details, you can increase the realism of your illustration with adding much more extra colors over
your work just like this. Put some shadows and blend it with light to create the
metallic look of the butterfly. I will make it like this really
sharp and colorful yeah, it's looking really great. And I will use really
dark orange here for make this points texture much more visible,
just like this. And like this, I'm adding
the shadows of it. And yeah, it is looking
really great right now, and this will look like this. And these parts will be
something like this. And I will use this
as an outline to make the outline much
more visible and sharp because this edge control
is also such as important as the illustrations itself
for create the illustration, much more realistic look. So I will add these details
just like this and like this, I will add this shiny
rim light here, like it have this strong edge, and it is reflective. You can give it with the white color because
it is really vibrant. And you can add this white as a light reflection at the most lighted
areas, just like this. And I will add some
extra colors here as a rope and I hope you enjoy this part and can't wait for show you much
more in the next lessons. Thank you and see you

colored necklace. At first, go to the shape
tool and select Ellipse tool, then select one ellipse like this holding with
your two finger, then go to the layers and
open another new layer. And paint it with
the dark brown. So again, go to the layer
and select Alpha Lock. Then after it, duplicate it
and make it much more really small just like this and
put it to the middle, then select white and dilate it. So after it, go to the
layer two and select some lighter colors

kind of color at the middle, but it is totally
depending on your choice. So I will use just this color for maybe much more
gum to the middle. And I will use really lighter color for
shadows, just like this. Yeah, it is looking
really great right now. And if there are discoteps, you can combine all layers
and select warping, then you can put it here just
like this and like this, you can play with the
shape of the necklace. So you can be creative
at this part, for example, with distort, you can make it look
much more sharp like this or different size
depending on your choice. And after it, you can add rope

are made by natural stone, and it looks like really
different colors and et cetera. And maybe like this. Yeah, something like this. And have something like this, like metallic detail here. These parts have connection
between the rope and the rope and neck lace. So after it, all you need

new layer and this time, use really vibrant
orange, just like this. If you are painting orange, after it, go to the
adjustments and liquefy and select till we
and apply over here and hold. Hold with your pencil and continue to
creating it and hold. Yeah, after it, we have
some shape like this. But we need to make it only
affected to do layer two. So clipping mask,
and here you go. We have really nice
design over here and collect the layers. And after it, you can
apply extra colors and shadows and lights over the
necklace, just like this. And maybe we need to
add more lights over here to combine it and make the corners
