Using the method employed in adding shadows and highlights to the skin, color
the clothing and hair. Merge the grouped layers to the base
layers once you are happy with your shadows and highlights.

Now let's touch up on other items. Zoom into the belt and use the Dodge Brush
to brighten up edges of the "metal" parts. Do the
same for the headphones and other "metal" parts.

Zoom into the potion bottles, use a hard brush at very low opacity (10% to 15%)
and brush a few strokes along the shape of the bottle. You may want to use
the Smudge Tool to soften some edges. Do this on a new layer. You
should create a "glass" effect.

Now we will give the wings a softer feel. On a new layer grouped to the white color layer, use a hard brush at 40% - 45 % opacity, add light blue to indicate shadows in some areas.

Smooth out the edges with the Smudge Tool. This is very similar to how you add shadows and highlights to the skin and clothes of the character.

After adding the shadows, create a new layer and group it to the lineart layer. Use a small hard brush and start to trace the lines of the wings on the new layer.

Zoom out and you are almost done!
A further touch-up I have added is to lightly erase some white areas of the wings to create a translucent effect and also smudge some edges of the wings to give the wispy feel.
You might notice that I redid the hair coloring at this point as I was not happy with the previous coloring.

Now to add the herbs spilling out from the pouches, use a small hard brush at 50% - 60% opacity and draw the plant shape you want on a new layer on top of the lineart. Brush on a small amount of other colors such as a darker green or yellow to make it look more natural. Also, I like to use Smudge Tool to smooth out some edges.

Use a small hard brush to dot out shapes of little flowers. I used white and yellow, but you may want to use other colors.
