Final Image Preview

Let’s begin by creating a new file (File>New), having 800×600 px and 72 dpi.

Next step includes applying the Rectangle Tool (U) for representing the background of the picture we want to have finally.

The layer’s parameters may be set out by clicking on the layer we work with, on the layers’ panel:
Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters:

Using the Ellipse Tool (U), it’s possible to represent the primary layer, reserved for the Santa’s portrait’s frame.

The layer’s parameters: Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters:

Make a copy of the last made layer and select Free Transform option to make the copy smaller, applying for it the next demonstrated parameters: Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters:

Make another copy of the same layer and choose the Free Transform option to make the copy smaller again applying for its layer the next parameters: Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters:

Next we’ll try to draw the Santa’s head. For the beginning we have to represent his face, choosing the Ellipse Tool (U).

Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters:

Next step we’ll try to draw Santa’s moustache, selecting previously the Ellipse Tool (U) which is helpful when representing the first elements and then press Alt button to move off the unnecessary parts. Insert one more point on the already made picture with the Add Anchor Point Tool. The Convert Point Tool is helpful when making the necessary corrections on the element’s shape.

Blending Options>Drop Shadow

Make a copy of the last made layer and select again Free Transform option to turn over the copy, making it look exactly like below. Place the copy’s layer lower than the previous one (on the layers’ panel).

Next try to draw Santa’s eyes, taking the Ellipse Tool (U) for this operation and making for the beginning the eye’s basis of black color. Press Alt button when applying the same instrument to erase the unnecessary elements of the eyes.

Make a copy of the last made layer and place the copy as it is done on the next image:

Using the same Ellipse Tool (U), it’s possible to draw on this stage the character’s nose:

The layer’s parameters: Fill 0%
Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters:

Next try to make several highlights of white color on the character’s nose, applying the Ellipse Tool (U) too.

Using the previous applied instrument, pass to representing Santa’s eyebrow of white color too, as the moustache is.

Make a copy of the last made layer and select after that the Free Transform option to turn over the copy and place it the way indicated on the next picture:

Both layers containing the eyebrows have the same layer’s parameters: Blending Options>Drop Shadow

It’s time to insert on the picture Santa’s hat, applying in this case the Pen Tool (P) and the color #E92225. The Convert Point Tool will be helpful in making appropriate corrections on the element’s shape. Place this layer lower than Santa’s face (on the layers’ panel).

Make a Girl Wallpaper with Photoshop

In this tutorial we are going to create a very cool looking Girl wallpaper. In this tutorial we will combine digital painting, some design elements and a photo to create an amazing wallpaper with photoshop

Create a new document with these dimensions. 

I Found a stock image on deviantart.com - http://tatehemlock.deviantart.com/art/The-Act-of-Being-Polite-02-141273558 

Open this image in a separate document. Our goal is to crop the girl from the background. There are many ways to do that, but in this situation I recommend you to use Magic Eraser tool - I think it is called so. 

So let's start erasing that white color. 

The Magic eraser does a lot to save time and it is very easy to erase monotone color backgrounds. it does a lot, but not everything - the edges of the objects do have a small edge line with different color pixel. IF you want to generate a good edged cut you must walk over the whole edge line. To view the other color pixels I recommend you to create a layer underneath the object you want to cut and fill or paint over the edges with different by contrast color. 

Work extremely zoomed in to see and erase all the pixels you don't need. 

Now when you have clear contour you can drag the girl to our initial document. 

Create a document underneath the girl layer and fill it with

color - this will be the initial color to for further color tone harmony. I choose neutral Blue. 

Then choose black to white gradient - set the layer Blending mode to Pin light and make several slide with this gradient giving us something like this effect. Note to turn Pin light. 

As our effect is black color, we need to choose the right layer blending mode so we can see the initial blue color. Choose - and select the one you think is good. I've chosen soft light and the result is this. 

Warp it a little bit. 

Now it is time to bring some contrast: select soft edged brush with low flow parameters. Create a new layer underneath the Girl layer (set the layer mode to Overlay). Select something like light blue color; apply color on the top and near the head area. 

Pick another color and paint a little bit with it too. 

The next thing I did was - I began to apply glow to the character - the Girl. I'm going to use layer styles for that. 

I've also applied some effects like small little bubbles using custom brush (on a new layer). 

Zoomed out view: 

So we've started to decorate with bubble brush let's continue to do this. i have another Good brush: here are the settings of the brush of you are using pen tablet.
