I celebrate the end of the year 2023 with a fan art, a digital watercolor made in Photoshop, I hope you like it.

Next I leave you each one of the steps

To begin with, the first thing I did was to create an empty canvas, then I added a pastel background color, although not very light. After that I created a new empty layer and made some strokes to prepare the simulation of the brushstrokes later on, I painted them in strong orange to create contrast. Then I made the image, for that I used the initial starters and grouped them in the way I thought best, once ready I placed the message of happy new year 2024 and placed the image on the background previously created to work on it.

Once here I started to apply filters. Photoshop's smart filters can bring spectacular results, for that you have to understand how each one of them works or at least have a notion of how they work. In my case I have experience creating digital watercolors, that's why I decided to make this one. The filters I used were Shading, Quartetting, Mask focus, Dry brush and reticulation. In each one the process was to play with the values and based on the result I was getting I could leave them like that or keep playing with them until I got the expected result for this art.

Once the filters were finished I had to change the opacity and blend of each one of them. I did this to superimpose one with the other and so I could have a good result in the main image. Here it is all subjective, there is no specific formula or a single value, the result is to the liking of the artist, in this case me, so I was playing with each one of them until I got what I wanted.

Then come the final touches, and this is where we play with the brush strokes, again it is subjective. Finally I added several layers to give the final results of the watercolor.

Let's take a closer look at the details of the watercolor on each of the characters.

As you can see, the watercolor is very colorful and eye-catching, each character acquires a different tonality but pleasant since it does not change its original essence and color. Here is the final result, I hope you like it.
