From the renderings, you can see how powerful the author's art skills are. The characters' hair, clothes and headdresses are all very vivid and realistic, and the colors are used well. The overall look is very artistic, and it is really a top-notch masterpiece. .

1. Use the two brushes that come with PS to draw the sketch. The entire drawing is basically made with these two brushes, which I won’t talk about later. Before drawing a picture, it is necessary to clarify the object to be drawn and the overall composition. Don't pay too much attention to details.
2. Apply the background color. Create a new layer with a darker background color. It doesn’t matter if you grasp the overall tone and make the color darker first. Pay attention to the control of the overall tone, and do not pay attention to the color of the details.
3. Use skin color to outline the human body first, paying attention to the human body’s muscle structure and light and shadow effects.
4. In the process of drawing the characters' faces in these 4 pictures, pay attention to the facial muscles, cheekbones, nose, forehead, etc. You can refer to the actual photos below. (Because the skin color is darker, the eyes, lips, and hair are painted silver)
5. Body Shaping In order to better draw the body structure, it is recommended that you refer to some photos. Pay attention to the direction of the muscles and bones of the body.
6. Put clothes on the character and use curves to adjust the overall color.
7. When drawing clothes, I wanted to give people a more biochemical feel, so I changed the left hand again. Add clothes according to the direction of the body. One thing to note is that because clothing and skin have different textures, the highlight effect is also different. You must pay attention to it. The details of drawing hands also test your patience.
8. Drawing the wings (the most painful part) First of all, the drawing here is more detailed, so you must be patient, patient, patient.
In order to give a human-like feel, I basically draw some textures and so on. When drawing details, pay attention to the overall effect.
9. Draw the wings and continue drawing details. At the same time, adjust the overall light and dark relationship. (I was almost exhausted from vomiting blood by this time.) After the basic drawing was completed, I used bright orange to draw the feeling of energy flow according to the texture of the wings.
10. Draw the sitting platform. The stone-carved seating platform is painted with moiré patterns and cracks. Note that because the texture is stone, you need to pay attention to the performance of the texture, hardness and fragmentation.
11. After drawing the sitting platform, adjust the overall effect. Pay attention to details but don’t lose the whole
12. When drawing the strange insect at the back, I used some special-shaped effects as a reference because I didn’t want to draw a traditional snake or dragon. Draw according to the structure of the cylinder, and don’t pay too much attention to details because it is not the main body after all.
13. Adjust the brightness and color after expressing the biochemical feeling. Because it is behind the main body, the colors are more uniform and there is not much color difference.
14. Draw the background behind. The initial setting was to draw a mountain, but in order to harmonize with the overall feeling of the picture, I also added a little biochemical feeling and just drew the general relationship.
15. Look at the final effect and make final adjustments. The adjustments here are mainly fine-tuning, such as hue, brightness, saturation, thinness of air, etc. Mainly using the curves, hue, saturation and other tools in PS. Compared with the distance, the near distance is more solid and the colors are relatively saturated. Finally, I would like to say that in fact, making such images is not as complicated as imagined, but it requires a rational art foundation, perceptual thinking, and practical experience.
