'Creating a character from scratch in Photoshop'
by Stephan Williams


Step 3 :

Once I have both the line work and the gradient down, I will go on and chose a color for this character. I feel that aliens usually are green, so I will use a green that works for this character. Place your color lawyer above both the line art, and the gradient lawyer. I will paint the color I have chosen at 100% percent opacity and then change the type of lawyer it is. I will change it from a normal lawyer, to a color burn lawyer. After that, bring down the opacity of the lawyer to 50%. If the color doesn't look right, go back and chose another color and start over again.




Step 4 :

Highlights are added next to give the character some "pop". Place your highlights lawyer below the characters color lawyer in order to get a minimal tint of the characters skin. There is no real technique, but your personal preference on where you place them. Repeat the flipping technique in Step 1 with your highlights.
