Original image

step 1 of 8

This is the reference image from DA

step 2 of 8

I used the pen tool to vectorize the reference model. Using the eyedropper to select a good skin tone from the photo.

step 3 of 8

Using the photo as a guide to the shading, I used the dodge and burn tools to add the shading to the flat vector image.

step 4 of 8

The wings are made of quite a few petals warped into a feather shape then layered one on top of another in the rough shape of a wing.

step 5 of 8

Here the wings and the dress and the head feather are being shaded and finishing touches added, like colouring the head feather with hue/saturation,

step 6 of 8

Here I'm placing the body and the constructed wings and skirt together.

step 7 of 8

Here she is finally constructed and shaded ready for a nice background.

step 8 of 8

The background is simply a light blue and a yellow colour, layered on top of each other with a large soft brush, then placed behind the biggest daisy.
