Quick question. The essence is that you use shadow 1 and light 1 to give volumes (they both get Gaussian blurred or just shadow 1?) and then shadow 2 and light 2 to make the details pop up?

Second question: I didn't quite get one thing, the shadow of the shirt on the skin is in the shirt shadow layer or in the skin shadow one?

By the way, this is great, excellent idea to make a tutorial and a "documentary" of you drawing it, makes it easier to understand what you do.

@matprayerGalletti Thanks a lot. 1, use the gaussian blur if needed or if it is on detail you can use the smudge tool instead. 2, If the shadow is on the kin, draw it on the skin shadow layer.

I was doing good until I got to the part where you have to color the shirt on the color layer. I colored it but the next step says, "in the layers panel, choose color for the layer "color". I don't understand. There is effects and a color overlay but I am not sure what you mean by choosing color. Where do I find this. I also should let you know I have Photoshop CS5. Some of the CS3 features are no longer available. Could this be one of them? Is there another way to color eyes, teeth and shirt?

[StephanieValentin]

@j2cool2 "color" is on the top left of the layer panel with "overlay", "multiply"...

@StephanieValentin Thank you, Stephanie. I will try to finish now. I had not been working on it lately. I had surgery on my neck which affect my ability to do any work but I am hoping to get back soon once the swelling subsides. Thank you.

[StephanieValentin]

@j2cool2 Then I wish you a speedy recovery ;-)

@meeena97 no problem ;)

[meeena97]

@Autumnleafff thanx for explaining (Y)

[Autumnleafff]

@meeena97 You blend the one one top so it seems like your blending it with the ones underneath. Or merge them all together and blend, though probelm with that is that it becomes all one layer and you cant make it seperate again without deleteing history....

[MrLkg721]

that was so awesome that I have to ask. How does one learn to do that? I can follow the tutorial quite well, but you have talent man. You can't get around that either. Just Awe - Some!

[meeena97]

question: if its all in different layers, how do you make them blend together?

@Mylz24 When sketching and doing details...yes, it makes a huge difference...
