Dragon Photoshop Tutorial

Just a very simple picture tutorial of various stages i go through upon making my digital pieces. Obviously this is very simplified. I never do things in a specific order really, and there's nearly always a lot of trial and error ^-^

Okay, so going from left to right

1. Simple digital sketch
2. Base colours
3. Textures added
4. Shadows added. This is the stage that really starts to make it look good.
5. Highlights added. I've recently begun to appreciate highlights a lot more XP
6. Background added

Lastly is the finished piece, which has been altered in varous ways to make the scene more believable such as the colouring, size of the dragon, water lighting effects, etc.
