This is the final effect of the picture.

Picture 1: Turn on PS first and create an A4 size canvas with the resolution of 300dpi. Create a new layer on the canvas to draw the line draft. In order to create a hand-painted effect for the coloring picture, I choose the brush which is similar to pencil to sketch the line draft. And then create a background layer under the line draft layer used to set the dominant tone.

Picture2: Add complexion and paint hair color for the character and then elaborate the character’s face.

Picture 3: This part is to refine hair. Since the heroine is Peacock Princess and to highlight her trait, it will be much better to select green color for the end part of her hair and it looks like peacock feature.

This brush can works perfectly in drawing highlights especially in adding the golden highlights which can be similar with real yellow gold.

Picture 8: Add decorative pattern on the outer ring which can enrich the whole picture.

Picture 9: Sketch a lotus on the right of the character. Draw the line draft first and add background color. Since the dominant color is green and in order to have a harmonious effect of the picture I still choose green in this part.

Picture 10: Add highlights and shadow for the lotus. I use Gradient Tool to create the dark green shadow and then set the layer mode.

Picture 11: Add grain which is similar to the shape of peacock feature for the lotus petal.

Picture 12: This part is to add lotus buds.

Picture 13：The drawing part is finished. What I should do next is to adjust tone around the character. It is necessary to highlight the character by darkening the tone around the heroine

Inspiration: With time goes by, the winter is coming and the lotus in the pond fade away and only left the withered rootstock stand in the pond. This scene reminds me of last summer when lotus flowers were in full bloom and a young girl with Hanfu stands by the lotus pond which creates a beautiful picture in my mind and cannot be removed. Therefore, I decided to draw out this picture. This is the final effect.

Picture 1: Turn on PS first and create an A4 size canvas with the resolution of 300dpi. Scan the draft into computer and create a new layer over the draft used to sketch the lines and then create another new layer below the line draft which used to fill the ground color. This is the effect of finishing filling the color.

Picture 6: Refine all lotuses on the background. It is available to add little pink for petals which will make the flowers more charming.

Picture 7: This step is to draw the line draft of lotus leaf first and then fill and elaborate the leaf. The dark green color would be better for the lotus leaf. The leaves look dark green at night.

Picture 8: Copy all layers where the lotus stay and use “Gaussian Blur” to create lights for the flowers.

Picture 9: Use big scene brush and blur tool properly to smudge highlights part on the left top of the background. And on the highlight part, it would be better to draw a goldfish. And the fishtail should be draw with smoke brush to create the effect of ethereal.

Hardware: Huion Tablet

Inspiration: The Chinese roses on the balcony are blossoming as usual. They blossom so happily and it seems that they can warm the whole morning. This arouses me a question: Is there a Thumbelina hide in the middle of the delicate stamen? And sometimes, I see one or two butterflies come and linger on the flowers. Maybe they are talking with the Chinese Rose fairy.

This is the final effect.

Picture 1: Turn on PS first and create an A4 size canvas with the resolution of 300dpi. Then create a layer on the top of the canvas to draw a draft. It is necessary to reduce the opacity of draft. After setting the shape dynamics to Hard Round Brush, then I draw line draft. If you feel the pen draws too smooth, and you can put a paper on the tablet to add friction. In order to create a vintage style, I choose an oval frame in the picture.

Picture2: Reduce the opacity of line draft and change the layer mode to “Multiply”.

Picture 3: Create N layers below the line draft used to fill the colors of all parts. Since I would like to render a feel of simple and small fresh, therefore, all colors should be used to deliver the feelings of sweet and gentle. This is the complete effect of finishing the bottom color.

Picture 4: This part is to refine the character’s face. The moist eyes with a little pitiful feel can illustrate that she is a gentle and sweet fairy.

Picture 5: The following step is to depict her hair. By using the methods from shallow to deep, overlay the color layer by layer.

Picture 10: Add flying butterflies with fluorescence on the background.

Picture 11: This part is to draw the butterfly which stays on the character’s hair. After searching for lots of butterfly samples, I found the swallowtail butterfly is the best choice. And then draw line draft of the butterfly which the bottom color should be spread. Then I elaborate the butterfly step by step. Next is to adjust the “Color Balance” and “Brightness” on the layer where the butterfly stays. This is the final effect of this step.

Picture 12: This part is to depict these two butterflies on the bottom of the picture and the oval frame.

Picture 13: The last step is to add vines of Chinese roses. I draw vines on one side first and then copy it to the other side with the help of “Free Transform”.

Hope this course will be helpful.

Picture 6: Fill the qitou (a popular hairstyle in Qing dynasty) with dark color rather than ater to be harmonious with the color of the hair in the forehead.
