I extracted the sun, put onto the new document, drew the sketch under the sun by hard brush
step 2 of 11
Put the background on the bottom layer
step 3 of 11
To draw Elvis, I made the vector image of him on separate layers (I changed the opacity of each layer for convenient view). Each part I created a new layer, arranged by the order in the 3-D dimension. Only pen tool was used
step 4 of 11
This is the vector image of Elvis I finished. I use only the gray scale, then paint colors later
step 5 of 11
The thing connect the sun and Elvis was made from the source.
Now I color the vector image. To do that I created clipping layer on top of each layer I created, then choose the color I like, use brush tool with low opacity to paint (I used a tablet). Overlay them with different color shades to make the 3-D effect on the object.
step 6 of 11
Elvis is almost finished
step 7 of 11
The same technique was used to make the head
step 8 of 11
Complete the shadow effect on the "model" (just used black brush on each clipping layer)
step 9 of 11
Drew the ray by pen tool
step 10 of 11
The electricity was made by drawing on a layer with outer glow option (yellow glowing effect)
step 11 of 11
Put a solid black on the background layer, blend to the bottom layer by soft light option. Use eraser to erase some part of the cloud. Use white brush to make the sun from the far view
