基础
首先，它确实有助于建立一个强大的基础;在绘画准备的早期阶段，你已经可以将其形象化，并将其作为指导方针。
Base
First of all it really helps to have a strong base; one where you can already visualize the form and that works as guideline through the early stages of painting preparation.
调色板
我发现这个阶段是我最喜欢的地方。通过使用现有的图像，你可以避免使用白色画布的诅咒。在我脑海中寻找橙色的图像时，我发现了这幅带有一些酥脆颜色的三文鱼菜肴的图片。一旦我把图像和我之前做过的一个面具联系起来，我就开始用混合画笔来组织颜色。在那之后，我做了第二个传递，在那里我淡化了将其用作颜色基础的值。
Color palette
I find this stage to be where I often have the most fun. By using an existing image you avoid the curse of the white canvas. Searching for images while having the orange color in mind I found this picture of a Salmon dish with some crispy colors. Once I linked the image to a mask I did prior, I began to paint with the mixer brush to organize the colors. After that I did a second pass where I toned down the values to use it as a color base.
阴影，环境遮挡和光环
有了调色板，现在是时候后退一步，创建能够帮助我的层，一个接一个。首先是我画的阴影，我用一个图层和混合模式来进行乘法。在此之后，环境闭塞，也使用乘法，但只在没有光的区域涂漆。
在最后一阶段，我使用一层覆盖层，作为一种黑暗的光环围绕着角色，增强3D形式，同时也画出人物的底部区域，让观者更关注脸部。
Shadow, Ambient Occlusion and aura
Having the color palette, now it's time to take a step back and create the layers that will help me, one by one. First comes the shadow which I paint using a layer with the blending mode set to Multiply. After that comes the Ambient Occlusion, also using Multiply but only painting the zones where no light will be able to reach.
In the last stage I use a layer in Overlay which works as a dark aura that surrounds the character and enhances the 3D form, while also painting the bottom area of the character to make the viewer focus more on the face.
然后是光
在做了暗色调之后，是时候做一些比较轻的值了。我在软光中做了一层新图层，我将在这里画出亮点，然后我用另一层颜色来避开边缘光。
Then comes the light
After doing the dark tones it's time for some lighter values. I make a new layer in Soft Light for the primary source where I'll paint the highlight, and after that I use another layer in Color Dodge for the rim light.
发疯!
回到基色，我做了一些测试。在打开所有图层并查看最终结果后，我尝试探索一些颜色模式。有时你会遇到很酷的意外。在这个特殊的例子中，通过使用底色的相减模式层，我得到了一个红色的南瓜，当我把它们放在排除层模式下的整个图像时，结果很好。更多的测试表明，如果使用的是排斥，基色层会给我一个蓝色的南瓜，这看起来很好，当用一个面具给整个橙色南瓜提供一些更复杂的颜色。
Go nuts!
Going back to the base color I did a few tests. After turning on all the layers and viewing the final result, I tried to explore some color modes. Sometimes you get really cool accidents. In this particular case, by using the Subtract mode layer of the base color I got a reddish pumpkin which turned out great when I place them over the whole image in exclusion layer mode. A few more tests revealed that if used in exclusion, the base color layer would give me a blue pumpkin, which looks great when used with a mask giving some more intricate color to the overall orange pumpkin.
现在混合一切
混合一切，你得到一些甜南瓜汤，我的意思是怪物。 这是一个伟大的基础，你通过了一个白色的画布的斗争，并通过将渲染分成几步，整个过程变得更加容易。
Now mix everything
Mix everything, and you get some sweet pumpkin soup, I mean monster. And this is a great base, you passed through the struggle of a white canvas and by dividing the render into steps the process becomes a whole lot easier.
最后
现在所有的步骤都完成了，我做了更多的工作使它看起来稍微好一点。更详细一点，在嘴和眼区域有一些颜色变化。圣节快乐!
And the final
Now that all the steps are done I worked a bit more on it to make it look just slightly better. A bit more detail, some color variation in the mouth and eye areas. Happy Halloween!
