This is a great tutorial by graphic artist Sara Haraigue who shows the possibilities offered by blends, gradients and masks for lighting graphic compositions and adding depth of colour to detailed shapes within them.
In this step-by-step she uses blends in Illustrator to experiment with fine details, adding very subtle lines, textures and tones – something that isn’t always easy to do with vector shapes. She then imports the image into Photoshop, taking advantage of Smart Objects, before creating custom shapes, adding layer effects and making colour adjustments.
