8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book

sharp edges.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
31/149
4. Select a darker color from the palette and apply some shadows. Dial down the opacity of
the brush. Fill the lips with a soft pink base.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book

8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book

8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book

8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
36/149

10. The brush size has to be 2-4 px. Use the smudge tool and smooth out the edges of the
eyebrows.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
38/149
11. To paint the eyes, first you need to cover up the areas with base colors.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
39/149
12. Remember that eyes are round so the corners will always be darker and the center,
lighter.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
40/149
13. The upper eyelid is going to be under a shadow. Do the same for the lower one, only with
a lighter color. Paint some light on the iris. Irises are made of many tiny lines spread
around the pupil.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
41/149
14. Draw them with a small brush (max 3px) Keep the brush set to shape dynamics. Make
some lines darker, lighter or thicker to achieve this effect.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
42/149
15. Add a bit of shadow under the lower eyelid and a bit of light in the interior corner of the
eye. This will add a bit of depth.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
43/149
16. Now let’s mark the pink flesh of the eye. After you paint a line select a whiter color and
add some tiny lines in the corners and above the pink line. Create a new layer and add
some eyelashes.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
44/149
17. Use a dark color and the same presets you did for the eyebrows. Look at the image on
the right to see how the eyelashes should look, use a 50-60% opacity for the lower
eyelashes.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
45/149
18. Let’s improve the eyes a bit by adding some detail. Use the dodge and burn tools to add
more depth to the iris and the pupil, and some soft colors to add more light.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
46/149
19. Add a bit of eyeliner to the upper side of the eye. You can also change the color of the
eyes by using Hue/Saturation on a clipping mask.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
47/149
20. Next, let’s paint the lips. This is very easy since we are going to use the same technique
as we did on the eyes. Look at the image on the right to see the lighted areas.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
48/149
21. Apply shadows to both edges of the lips. Now with a light pink, start adding some curved
lines like you did for the iris. Make the center of the lips lighter than the sides.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
49/149
22. Change the tones and keep adding lines on the lips. It’s important that in the brush
presets panel (F5) the shape dynamics should be checked leaving the default settings.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
50/149
23. Create a clipping mask (by holding the ALT key) and go to Adjustment Layers > Levels
and input the values shown in the image below. You have to change the brush settings in
the presets panel for the texturing of the lips.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book

24. Go to brush presets and check: Scattering (both axes 470%), Other Dynamics (0%) and
Smoothing. Choose a light color and run the brush over the highlighted parts (the middle).
This creates the impression that she is wearing lip-gloss.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
52/149
25. Add some more light near the upper lip.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
53/149
26. Go to Adjustment Layers > Levels. Use the values in the image on the right.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
54/149
27. Once you have the base laid down add some detail. Merge all visible layers into the active
one (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E) . Go to Filter > Noise > Add noise (about 7-9 px). Leave the noise
on the skin and erase it from the other parts on a mask.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
55/149
28. In this step we will add some texture to the skin. First select the brush tool and select the
appropriate presets: check the scattering box, scatter about 350%, control: pen pressure,
count jitter: 12%.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
56/149
29. Now select 3 colors: a bright cream, a soft pink and a beige and start adding some
freckles on her cheekbones and nose. Set the opacity to about 30 – 40%.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book

30. Create a new layer and make some new presets for the brush tool to add more texture.
Make sure that the texture box is checked.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book

and draw the shape of the hair. The color used here is #d28c6a.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book

33. Create a new layer. You have to begin with the thicker hair strands and finish with the
thinner ones.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book

34. Make sure that shape dynamics is checked in the brush presets. This will make the
edges more realistic.
8/17/2019 Photoshop Work Book
62/149
35. On a new layer, add some more hair strands with different colors. Don’t be afraid to add
some crazy colors in the hair,
