这一系列的图片将展示我创作“天堂和地狱”的方法。每张图片都有一个简短的描述，描述了正在发生的事情以及我是如何工作的。
This series of images will show the general method that I used to create my painting "Heaven and Hell". Each image has a brief description of what was going on and how I was working. Should you want to see a more detailed Image, click on the picture and you will be taken to a larger version.
首先，我要用彩色纸创建一个新文档。然后创建一个新层。在这一层，我画出我最初的草图。一切都很不确定，随时可能发生变化。我还没有确定最后的尺寸，但是我的脑海中确实有一个清晰的图像。我用记号笔进行绘制。
I begin by creating a new document with a colored paper. I then create a new layer. On this layer I sketch my initial figure. Everything remains very fluid and subject to change. I have not determined the final size at this point but I do have a clear Image in my mind of where I am going. I do my sketching with a variation of the marker brush.
我用灯光照亮背景。这是获得颜色的最简单的方法。我挡住了身材和头发。在最终的形象上，我试图达到颜色和价值一致的关系。我仍然在透明层上画画。我也在分别处理这些标记，但应用同样的灯光保持图像的一致性。
I apply lighting to the background. This is the easiest way to get some color going. I block in the figure and hair. I try to arrive at color and value relationships that will work in the final Image. I am still painting on the transparent layer. I am also working on the figures separately but applying the same lighting to keep a consistency in the Images.
在这张照片里，我开始给她的皮肤添加一些纹理，让她看起来更恐怖。
In this Image I have started to add some texture to her skin to give her a little more creepy look.
我必须调整我的画布大小，为第二个角色提供足够的空间。这两个角色是分开的层，很容易找到我想要的图层。当我确定他们的位置时，我将两层结合在一起。我开始研究背景，并把这些角色结合起来。
I have to resize my canvas to make enough room for the second figure. Both figures are on separate layers making it easy to position them just how I want them. When I think they are positioned, I combine the two layers. I begin to work on the background and integrating the figures together.
这里是背景。我总是试图让事情保持顺畅，并随时改变，我开始想象我在这一点上想要的最终感觉。
Here's the background without the distracting figures. I always try to keep things fluid and subject to change but I am beginning to envision the final feeling that I want at this point.
在这一点上，我把这些角色放在背景上。我继续改进这两个角色。我把烟熏的火加在黑暗天使的手掌上。我在烟雾中作画，然后用笔刷给它绘制旋转的外观。
At this point I drop the figures on to the background. I continue to refine both figures. I add the smoking fire to the dark angel's palm. I paint in the smoke and then use the turbulence brush to give it the swirling look.
我细化角色。我在白色天使后面的背景中加入云彩。我把蝴蝶涂在一个新的图层上，主要使用喷枪。我只画了一半的蝴蝶。然后复制，粘贴，翻转得到另外一半蝴蝶。然后我把两层都折叠起来。我把蝴蝶放在我想要的地方。在这一点上，我还去掉了画右边的一些画布。
I refine both figures. I add the clouds to the background behind the white angel. I paint the butterfly on a new layer using mainly airbrush variations. I only paint half the butterfly. I copy, paste, and flip horizontally the half butterfly. I then collapse both layers to one. I position the butterfly where I want it. At this point I have also removed some of the canvas on the right side of the painting.
我复制图像。在复制版本中，我开始在背景中添加火。我用喷枪和喷枪的自定义变种来画大部分的火。我一点也不担心角色的重叠。当火完成后，我将这个角色从原来的地方复制回来。我开始在黑暗天使身上形成反射光。
I clone the Image. In the clone version, I begin adding the fire in the background. I paint most of the fire with the airbrush and custom variations of the airbrush. I do not worry about overlapping the figures at all. When the fire is finished, I clone the figure back in from the original. I begin to develop the reflected light on the dark angel.
更多的背景被绘制出来。同样，这是画家创作的缺陷。出于某种原因，我已经开始用TIF格式保存所有东西。
More background development. Again, there is the flaw that painter is generating. For some reason, I have begun saving everything in TIF format also.
最后的图像。如果你有什么特别的问题，尽管问我。
The final painting. If you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to ask me.
