Sure.

Step 02 is an important step to follow up to Step 03 because the base colours are what will determine the overall colour set for the piece.

To begin with Step 03 you'll need to use 'Adjustment Layers' - set to Hue/Saturation mode. Use a soft brush of your preference and colour at with a very low opacity. Studying how light bounces off objects can improve the your choice and application of shadow and light. Keep at it shading with a colour tha matches the environment - I chose a greyish brown to blend with the yellows to Ashworth and the blues to Zephar.

Hope that helps!

I posted a reply to Ninjaketsune that may help you out - just above your comment. However to add to what I said regarding the depth I used an opacity of 30% and a flow of 20% for my brush. Either a round soft brush or textured brush will do the trick. Keep brushing on top of the adjustment layer on spots you feel need more shadow/dark colour - this will create the depth you're looking for - if you made a mistake and overdid it, just press 'X' to switch to WHITE on the colour palette and brush away to erase the darkness (it is essentially acting as your eraser but with the same opacity and flow levels, making the job much more smoother and easier). *thumbs up*

ahh you see, with some of my work to get opacites, i was actually afraid to use the white on any dark areas if I made a mistake. But now I know from a professional thanks!
