Use Airbrush with these settings: Round Size 177, Hardness 100, Step 25, Density 1, Thickness 100 Rotation 0, Opacity 100. Click a couple of times with both colors. Go to Adjust Blur/ Motion Blur Angle 209 and Strength 12. Grab your Smudge Tool, Shape Round, Size 15, Hardness 55, Step 1, Density 40 Thickness 100, Rotation 0 and Opacity 60. Smudge to blend the colors together. Deselect.

9. Load cri-08legblack. Flood fill with #000000. Airbrush as in Step 1 only change the Size to 55. The color is #C0C0C0. NOTE: Shade only the right edge and the bottom.
10. Add a new layer. Name it eye. Foreground color #C0C0C0 and Background color #000000. With your Preset Shapes Tool make a small ellipse Anti-alias and vector checked, Width 1. Convert to Raster. Use Inner Bevel Round Preset. Now the finishing. On your layer palette go back to your wing layer and move it up under the eye layer. You may want to move the wing on your image a bit to. With your Smudge Tool Smudge a little where the wing meets the body. I used the same settings as in Step 6. Activate your leg back layer. Use your Smudge tool and Smudge the edge towards the white body and leg. If you want to do her blurry all over use your Smudge Tool on body white and leg. I like her fluffy.
If you use the settings I used above be careful, don't drag out to much.
I also use the Darken/Lighten Tool to add some hi-lights an the feet, beak, and under the wing and on the head
