I thought instead of my usual work-in-progress shots, I’d do a layer dissection of this piece! These are ordered from the bottom layer in the PSD file to the top layer, finishing with the final image. In the description in parenthesis, I also mention what setting that layer is on. This is approximately how I work with most of my digital art, give or take a few layers if need be.
