6. Colour the hill and the wayside at the right.
7. Colour characters, adding some rythmical details, as the rino’s skin.
8. Colour the foreground.
9. Add shadows at characters (linear burn mode of the layer, some greys with light tinting of blue and purple).
10. Add lights (overlay mode, white of different opacity, pink white, yellow white).
11. Add details of light and shadow to the stone, soil, characters, etc.
12. Drop shadows.
13. Give some masks at the background to emphasize the aerial perspective. Just a layer with colour gradient from blue or so to opacity. No mode change, only playing with fill or opacity percent.
