Here is the finished piece I showed in Progress in the tracing with the magnetic lasso tool thread As you can see in the outline view I used brushes to build up texture and colour on top of the basic gradient fills that I used to block out colours. I also used the shape painter in both paint and warp modes to add extra shapes for shading, hightlights and extra touches of colours such as the white tips in places.
Spending less time tracing allowed me to spend more time on those extra little details especially in the center. Comments and critiques are welcome
