Voodoo Queen Color Study
I was experimenting with an organized system for painting in Photoshop. Before I sort of just applied all the color over the rough sketch and it would take a lot of clean up. I tried to paint using the ambient occlusion process, but I am not that patient to create a drawing and make an AO layer. So I made a tinted underpainting and tried the following process. It was pretty fast once the underpainting and flat colors were established. Will experiment more in the future. I was inspired by Ana Mendes 3D sculpture here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/181JbG
Final
Underpainting tinted with a brown layer on color.
Flat colors underneath the Underpainting layer. The underpainting layer is on multiply.
Key lighting layer on color dodge. All I did was eyedrop the existing base color and painted on this layer.
Bounce light layer on linear dodge (add).
Edge light layer on linear dodge (add).
Paint over for finishing touchups.
