Step Five: Basic flat color

Flat color stage. At this point, i have all the different colors on different layers. Shruggining off previous techniques that I have done, I have decided that manually adding the shading and highlights to each color on new layers would be the best, more accurate way to go. Also, it just looks more flattering if I do it that way.
I cannot stress enough the importance of layers here. Each color to a layer will prevent alot of mistakes, and is easier to edit.
This is also applicable to backgrounds. each new color to a layer, and play around with different layer styles and opacities.
