The following assets were used during the production of this tutorial.

ModelHoodCurtainFire Textures

Step 1Place the photo of the model and extract it from the background using the Pen Tool.

Desaturate the colors using the settings below.

Set the background to black be creating a new layer, filling it with black and then sendthe layer to back.





Step 2Use the settings as shown below and start to paint as shown.





Next thing, is the background. Create a new layer, move it bottom and use soft roundbrush to paint a warm depth.







Step 3Now it is time to paint the hood. Use the brush tool to create a shape, once you have it,create a new layer and fill it with nice dark red color.





Step 4Next is the coat. Create new layer and use the same technique to paint her clothes anda background on the left a little bit.



As you see, for more details you need to create more shadows and lights.Take a small standard brush and start to painting. The green dotted lines shows you thedirection of the brush.





Step 5Now it is time to add some detail on her cape. Same as before. take a standard brush,and experiment with the size and hardness. You can create a large lines and little thinlines to create more detailed areas.



We need to put more shadows on the hood, so we need to take a brush, dark red colorand paint the areas which are to bright.





Next step is to make more definition of the hood. As you see I was using 10px standardbrush and larger soft round brush.





Step 6Not it is time to put the stock photo of the hood with nice texture. You can find it inTutorial Assets on the top of the article. Of course you need to isolate the hood from thebackground using path tool. When you are ready, put the photo in to our canvas.



Little touch ups using the eraser to blend it more.





We need to make the hood red, so click Command/Ctrl + B to color balance, and set thevalues like on the image below.Good, no we have red hood.





Step 7I decided to make it brighter on the corner and at the top, because the light source isgoing from the left corner. To do that, use a small standard brush and warm orangecolor. Create a new layer, try to paint on these areas which I marked, then put the layerin to the group and set the blending mode to Linear Dodge (Add).







As you see, the painted layer is brighter now.



Step 8Good. The next step is to blend more the hood with the cape, so we need to take thescarf from the base image of the model. Then isolate it from the bg, using path tool.



Once we have it, put the scarf in the same place like on the base image. To blend itmore with the hood and cape, use the small standard brush. Paint over the hood, try tochange the size of the brush, use a dark red color.







Step 9For the next step we use the red curtain. I found a nice stock photo on Shutterstock,downloaded it and cut out the curtain from the image.





When you have it on the layer, put it to our canvas and start to rotate and reshape thecurtain to fit it to the image.





You need to erase the bottom are to blend it more with the image. I always use masks,these are very nice tools, when you erase the layer to much, you can always go backand bring it back switching the foreground color with the background X.







Step 10Ok now duplicate the layer of the curtain, use saturation Command/Ctrl + U and curvesCommand/Ctrl + M to make it more bright. as I said the source of light is coming fromthe top left corner, so we need to make this area bright.







Erase a little bit the duplicated layer.





Step 11Duplicate it once again, go to stylize > glowing edges. .







We have a layer with more defined edges, put it on screen blending mode so the blackbackground disappear, change the opacity also







Step 12Now take our first image of the curtain and resize it a little bit. Erase corners with softround brush.



In these steps you see how I blend it to the background and you will see that I paintsome lines around to fit the curtain more. Everything need to be very complex, like this isone element, but made from many others.









Step 13The corners of whole image should be a little darker. I take a brush, which you can find intutorial assets and start to paint. I set the color white to show you how it looks like. Whenwe are done, invert the painted layer so it should be black.





Change the blending mode to multiply, because that gives us the possibility to see thebackground from the bottom, because it is over painted.





Step 14We have hair sticking out from the hood. This is easy to fix, create a new layer and painton the area I marked, using the brush from tutorial assets.







Step 15The next thing about the whole image is to add kind of fire effect on the cape. I take thestock photo from shuttertstock.com, resize it and put it on the canvas.





I decided to modify the texture, so I choose liquify filter, you can see on the images how Idid it.





Once I have it done, I set the blending mode of the texture to screen to remove the blackbackground.



Now it is time to move it on the left area of the image and change the opacity.





Do these steps couple of times, moving the layer in different places using the transformmode Command/Ctrl + T.





The same fire texture use in different way. You can warp it against the cape.





Step 16The other idea is to twirl the texture. Go to Distort > Twirl. Use these settings you cansee below.







Now we have twirled texture. We need to move it to the left, use the transform tool torotate it and fit to the cape changing the opacity to 30%.







Step 17And again, resize the same texture, try to blend it more, erasing some of the corners orchange the opacity.





Step 18I added two splashes, change the blending options and that gives us a dirtierbackground. You can try to add more different splashes and set different blendingmodes. Try to experiment.





Step 19One of the last things are adjustments layers. I start with curves. Mask them out in theface area.



Next is Channel mixer with settings you see below.



Add adjustment layer called Levels to add more contrast.



Once again Curves to add more light for the image.



Here you can see all set of the adjustment layers.



Step 20The last thing is the black tear. This effect adds more drama to the project. You canpaint it with a small standard brush.
