Step 3

Now lets create an aureole for the angel. Create a layer called aureole and with the

Elliptical Marquee Tool (M) make an oval selection and fill with white.

Make another selection within the aureole and delete the selection. This way you will getsomething like that.


5/40

Now we need to create the inner of the aureole. Create a new layer, place it below the

aureole layer and name it "aureole back. Make an oval selection and fill with a light gray

(# b0b0b0).

Use the Burn Tool (O) in Highlights mode to create the lights and shadows of the halo. In

the end you should have something like the image below. After that, group the two layers

of the aureole to keep your file organized.

Position the halo over his head.


8/40

Now we need to make the shadow of the halo. Create a layer and position it above the

layer "angel." Right click on the layer and create a "Clipping Mask." Set the blend mode"Multiply" and with a Soft Brush (B) paint the angels head trying to simulate a shadow.

Step 4

Open the image of the wing, cut and place them behind the angel.

Create a New Layer, set it to "Multiply" and then create a "Clipping Mask". Use a Soft

Brush (B) with Black and paint over the wing to create the shadow of the boy. Dontforget to group the "Wings" layer and the "Shadow" layer.

Step 5

Open the city file, desaturate it using Command/Ctrl + Shift + U. Then go to Image >

Adjustments > Levels to darken the image.

Now open the bridge file, then go to Image > Adjustments > Levels to brighten theimage.


12/40

After that, position the bridge behind the angel and the city like the image below. Groupthe two layers and create a mask to hide in the image edges.

Step 6

Now its time to set the ground. Take the image ground and desaturate it. Place the

ground like the image below and use a layer mask to hide the edges.


13/40

Open the Spatter image and desaturate it using Command/Ctrl + Shift + U. Invert the

image color with Command/Ctrl + I. Then go to Image > Adjustments > Levels. At the

levels window click at the black eyedropper and click in the black area as shown in theimage.


14/40

After that, copy and paste the spatter in your main file. Set the blend mode to "Screen" sothe black will become invisible. Then hide the borders using a Mask or the Eraser Tool

(E). Make other copies of the Spatter layer and position them to get the result below.


15/40

Step 7

Now lets put more details in the Background. Create a New Layer on the top of theBackground and use a Soft Brush (B) to make a soft white glow.


16/40

Place the Clouds on top of the Background layer, then desaturate it using theCommand/Ctrl + Shift + U. Go to Image > Adjustments > Levels and use the Black

Eyedropper to set the black point in the image as shown below. After that set the Blend

Mode to Screen.


17/40

Duplicate the Cloud Layer and Flip it Horizontally and then place it like in the next

image. Group the Clouds Layers and set the Opacity to 50%.


18/40

Step 8

Place the Birds image. Desaturate it using the same technique as shown previously in this

tutorial. Then go to Image > Adjustments > Levels and use the White Eyedropper to setthe White Point of the image.


19/40

Set the Blend Mode to Multiply and position the image like in the next image.


20/40

Step 9

Open the Street Lamp image and extract it from the background. Place it into your main

file on top of all layers. Now we are going to make the shadow. Duplicate the lamp, set

your foreground color to black and fill the lamp copy locking transparent pixels.


21/40

Use the Free Transform Command/Ctrl + T to create the shadow of the lamp. Set theBlend Mode to Overlay, opacity of 50% and put it behind the lamp.


22/40

Uncheck the "Lock transparent pixels" of the shadow layer and use the "Blur Tool" at theend of the shadow.


23/40

Create a new layer and use a soft brush to make a small shadow underneath the lamp.


24/40

Step 10

Now we have to add the "flying" leaves to the composition. Open the Leaf image, extractit from the white background (I used Color Range) and then go to Image > Adjustments >

Hue/Saturation and use the configuration below.

Duplicate the layer 3 times and place the other leaves around the scene. Use the Dodge

Tool (O) to make some areas of the leaves a little brighter. Dont forget the shadow of the

leaf on the foot. To do that, use the same process of the lamp shadow. After that, select


25/40

the biggest leaf and go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and use something around 3.5

pixels. Youll get the following result.


26/40

Step 11

Take the same splashes weve used on the ground and place them on the top of the head

and the lamp. In the future we will create a storm, so they should look like watersplashing from the rain that is falling.

Step 12

Now we are going to add the lens flare effect to the lamp. Create a new layer and fill it

with black. Go to Filter > Render > Lens Flare and use the following configuration.


27/40

Desaturate it and set the blend mode to Screen and opacity to 70%. Then use the levels to

darken it a little bit.

Step 13

Open Illustrator and create the colored crystal. After youve created it, copy and paste

into Photoshop. Create a new layer and set the blending mode to Soft Light and clickwith the right button to create a Clipping Mask. Use a Soft Brush (B) with Black (to

darken) or White (to brighten) in some areas of the crystal. This technique is very usefulif you do not like to use the Dodge and Burn, because this way you can correct mistakes

whenever you want. It gives you much more flexibility.

Duplicate the crystal layer to make the reflection and put it under the original crystal. Set

the blending mode to Linear Dodge, change the opacity to 50%, apply Filter > Blur >Gaussian Blur and use a radius of 35 pixels. After that create a Hard Shadow (Multiply

and opacity of 30%) and a Soft Shadow (Multiply and opacity of 80%) under the crystal.

Step 16

Here well add the final details. First create an Adjustment Layer (Layer > New

Adjustment Layer > Gradient Map.). Use the following configurations and set its

blending mode to Soft Light.

Now create a new layer, set the blending mode to Soft Light, the opacity to 50% and

paint with a large Soft Brush around the edges.


36/40

White) and set its blending mode to Hard Light and the opacity to 50%.


37/40

Create a new merged copy of your image using Command/Ctrl + Shift + A,

Command/Ctrl + C and Command/Ctrl +V. Go to Filter > Others > High Pass and use theconfiguration below. After that set the blending mode to Hard Light. This effect will

sharpen the image. Now youre done!
