Choose dark green to recolor the outer border lines, and then use the Blur tool from the Color and Tool Panel to create a gradient from white in the center to green at the borders. Take the Air Brush with white color and apply it to the center of the gem. This way, only the lines from Line work layer will be recolored. Create a New Layer on top of the Line work layer and check the Clipping Group option from the Layer Panel. Step 6Īt this stage, let's change the color of the Line work, so it will look more natural. Paint with selected color from the palette in some areas, and then repeat the process with the next color, creating a new layer for each of them.Īfter you've finished with the separate colors, choose the Air Brush tool with the maximum size and 90 Density and create gradient effects with the lighter and darker variations of the basic palette colors.

Now let's create some line work based on the sketch. Then choose the Air Brush with 100% Density, make its size a bit bigger, and redraw the basic line. Make lines to show the edges of the gem, and when the basic shape is finished, add more details to the form. Add one more rectangle that is a bit higher than the first one. Start with a rectangle, and then find its center by drawing diagonals from each corner. At this stage, the sketch can be messy and rough, as it is just a simple draft. Choose the Pen or Air Brush tool, and begin to draw lines for the basic shapes. In the last case, use the New Layer Set option from the Layer Panel to group each gem's working layers separately.įirst of all, let's make a rough sketch of the gem with rectangular shape.
