Drawing Shiny Girl

Draw then accurately several shadows and the light on the small ball.



…on the hair too.



Get back to the background's layer and paint it in white. Picture a circle with the Ellipse Tool on a higher layer than the background's one.



Create one more layer now. Group it with the circle's layer, applying Layer – Create Clipping Mask (ctrl+g) and picture several stripes on it, with Rectangular Tool. Finally paint the circle in white.



Picture the contours in blue color, using next selection: Image – Adjustments – Selective Color.



Take the next instrument (Dodge Tool) and mark out the illuminated places on the girl and on her ball.



Merge down now all the layers, applying Layer – Merge Down (ctrl+e). The Brush Tool will help us to represent the highlights on the girl's eyes, on her lips and on her beads.



Use Filter – Render - Lens Flare to represent two more large highlights on the airy ball and on the front girl's hair.



Give to the picture a luminescent effect, using Image – Adjustments – Curves (ctrl+m).



Finally insert the picture in a frame, taking the Crop Tool and Rectangular Tool.
