Step 5: Smart Sharpen Filter
I like to use Smart Sharpen filter. This tool can help give my piece a good finished look. I was careful not to overdo this tool.
Step 6: Final Step: Add Effect
At this final step, adding atmospheric effect "Blaze", "Dust" and "Strong light".
1. Blaze
To enhance the strength of the dragon, I decided to create the dragon blowing blazing breath. So, I added a blaze to his mouth with "Custom brush 2". Thereafter, for rising the glow of his breath, I used new layer and changed the blend mode of the layer to " Linear Dodge (Add) ".
2.Dust
The dust is useful effect for having dynamism! I painted some dust with a "Custom brush 3 " and using an Airbrush.
3.Strong Light
I added strong light to the character's hair and his sword with Linear Dodge. This way is concentrated in the area. Intentionally adding effects to the dragon's blaze and the character's hair, I composed a diagonal relationship between the former and the latter.
