Add the general shadows in a Multiply layer. (Photoshop)

Adding bounced light onto her. (Painter)图片:
Use the shadows I have on the Multiply layer as guide to paint in the cast shadows on her. (Painter)片:
Click the Multiply layer back on, and erase the part that I already painted in for the girl(or else the shadows on her would be doubled). The sky and the mountain is painted too(sorry about lack of steps there. When I get really involved in a section, I tend to forget to save steps. Sorry!). (Painter) 图片:
With the Multiply layer of shadow kept on, I work underneath it and start forming the land. (Painter)片:

Added detail to scythe. I used the Dodge tool to get the metallic look--maybe it was a bad idea, since I‘m not a big fan of the Dodge tool but is does the job well(Photoshop), softened the tree a bit, added detail to the girl, and added some foliage(Painter).

Painted more foliage. (Painter)
图片:
Darkened some areas in shadows, added highlight to her face, the blade of the scythe, and added more leaves on tree. Also painted her boots. (Painter)图片:
And the finished version. I repainted the leaves on the tree(didn‘t like how it looked), added foliage and grass all over, refined some shadows and the girl‘s head, changed the scythe design, and fixed some minor details on the wolves. Finally, plopped in the signature, and finished!
I hope it wasn‘t as painful for you as it was for me. . ..
