Finally add the bra shading. Just like you did the dress.

Congrats, you have finished the dress. Make a new layer above the dress group and create the left arm. Use the same color and blending as the face and torso.

Now we are going to create the bubble solution drip from the wand just like we did the bublble drops.

Next we will create the bubble solution container. Make a new group between the arm layer and dress group and call it “Solution”. Make a new layer and create the lid like below.

Now set the color overlay to #23acde and add a 1px outer stroke in #546193.

CTRL+Click the lid layer to make a selection. Make a new layer and fill the selection with #546193. Then add a 3.0 px radius gaussian blur. Then make a selection of the lid again and delete the excess.

Using the same color darken the tab of the lid.

Now we need to create the bottle. Make a shape like below and fill it with black in a new layer.

Next we are going to add a Custom gradient overlay. Set the starting color to #126686 at location 0%, then the mid color to #28c4ff at location 32%, and finally the last color to #0c5c92 at location 100%. Set the angle to -168°. Lastly add an outer 1px stroke in #546193 and hit OK.

Follow the same steps to create the label area but change the gradient color to white and light grays.

To finish the bottle we are going to add a bit spilling out the side. Use the template as a guide for this. Fill the selection with black and set the layer fill to 0%. Now add a satin blend in color #cf7878, angle set to 19°, distance to 11, size to 16, and set the contour to “Double Ring”.

Next create the last arm. make this arm layer above the hair layers but below the metal wand. Then add the skin shading. The easiest way to do this is look at your hand and see how the shading is effected by the light in your area.

For this part you will need to merge the right arm and the shading area. Once they are mrged makes a selection at the third finger at the metal wand. Copy that selection to a new layer and place it above the metal wand.

And then you are finished! Congrats. If you have any comments, questions, our you want to add what you created learning from this tutorial feel free to leave me a comment. Cheers!
