How to Create a Sleek Digital Art of a Portrait with Fun Elements

Step 43

Create a new layer and use a soft brush with the color #d08fd1 to paint on the top left of the triangles. Change this layer mode to Linear Light 100% and use a layer mask to reduce the color effect on some parts below:

Step 44

Make a new layer and use a hard brush with the color #0085ba to spot on the left of the main canvas. Add a mask to this layer and use a soft black brush to reduce the opacity on the bottom and side, leaving it visible very subtle.

Create six layers and use a hard brush with the colors #50244f, #77c7e7, #ffa8ff, #9f5776, #379997 and #3fb8a0 to paint some circles around the canvas. I’ve used the Liquify Tool to tweak some circles.

Add a mask to each of these layers and use a soft black brush to reduce the circles’ opacity, making them look like bubbles or fade into the background.

Step 45

Make a Gradient Map adjustment layer and pick the colors #e10019 and #00601b . Lower the opacity of this layer to 20%.

Step 46

Create a Color Balance adjustment layer and change the Midtones settings:

Add a Curves adjustment layer to increase the contrast and vibrance of the whole canvas.

Step 47

Make a Selective Color adjustment layer and change the Magentas settings to reduce the color effect on the bottom middle of the middle circles.. On this layer mask, paint on the rest to keep its colors and vibrance.
