I'm doing next try on Illustration Friday with the topic "Wings".
I found it is kind of interesting, and the first thought come to my mind was a butterfly.
I really like a butterfly with a nice shape and nice color as well.
The following is some butterflies I found on the internet.
It looks really cool with the awesome effect. And I was trying to do something like that.
First, I draw a vector butterfly using Illustrator.
Furthermore, I placed it as a smart object in Photoshop. I used some cool effects like outer glow, some blending option effects to make a butterfly more stand out.
The next thing is I created the light background using the brush tool and some Free transform and changed the color using Hue/ Saturation to make some lines become obvious.
I repeated this step by duplicating it. The result is I got more lighting lines. I also changed the color as well. And some of that line got more and more standing out.
Then, I drag a butterfly that I added effects on it into my background and changed the display mode to screen.
Lastly, I used the brush tool to create some smoke effects to make it like an abstract background.

Ocean
Hi, the topic from Illustration Friday is "Ocean". Here are some references I found for this topic.
These are the thumbnails from the illustration Friday website with the topic "Ocean"
The first thing came into my mind when I thought about "Ocean" is the sea, so I drew the sea with dolphins jumping as well hot air balloon to make the sea more interesting.
Also, on my second thumbnail I want to draw the waves with the bottle on the sea.
P/S: I played the apps call "wechat" recently and I like it very much. On the apps we can pick a bottle to make a new friend, so that idea came up to my mind:)
And I created the other thumbnail for "Ocean" topic. I found that much more easier to describe "Ocean" is underwater. So, I chose this one to go with. I just did a rough sketch for that.
For my final design, I did stuffs on Photoshop.
First, I used gradient tool to create the underwater scene. Also, I found the gravel image and put it in the ocean bottom. Then, to obtain the water-like texture I applied Glass Filter and created some "dots" effect as well to make it more dramatic.
Next, I used Crystallize filter to make the reflection on the ocean floor.
Then, I created the light from above by using Polygonal Lasso Tool.
I also used brush tool to draw a boat.
Finally, I added "BE FREE" by using some text effects. I used this word because "FREE" is the factor that everybody all hope, especially when you swim, you can feel free...and it is related to "Ocean"...:)
For my final design I used brush tool to create the smoke as well...and here we are...
