1 - I created a new layer and painted the hair using a similar shade of yellow hair. Blend: Overlay 35%.

step 6 of 6

I created a new layer with 40% oppacity and named light/shadow, filled with 50% gray (the Swatches palette), changed the blend mode to Overlay and with the tool Dogde/Burn applied effects of light and shadow in the desired locations.

1 - I created a new layer and painted the wings in "yellow almost orange" color and changed the blend to Color in 100%.

2 - I created a new layer and painted ONLY THE CENTRAL part of the wing with dark orange.
Changed the blend to Soft Light 100%.

To end and to improve the color, I applied a gradient fill on top of all layers, orange light and dark.
Blend: Soft Light blend 40%.

And yet another layer of gradient fill (on top) to black and white:
Blend: Overlay 50%.

That's it.
Thanks!
