Okay, that's cool. All right, we perfect Go back to my regular selection tool Isolate solid group Hold shift So I can select more than one area at a time All right, clearly color white Hold shift Now we got to do the lip color But also I need to make that Just a little red Okay, cool. We make this just a little red face Ain't perfect Now we're gonna make a copy of our color layer Lock the bottom color Turn the eye off on the bottom color. You're gonna hit the letter Y And then you're gonna click the skin tone and hit delete So we can have a layer with just the eyes and the lip color and we're gonna leave that at the top We're gonna turn the skin tone color back on Create a new layer in between those two and it's gonna be our shadow layer So Let me see I need to make sure I'm on the right go to my brush tool. I mean my pencil tool Make sure I'm on the right layer And now let's start With some shadows I'm gonna start right here where this pocket it Put it right here And the more you do it you guys like you'll start Knowing what to put these shadows at I'm looking at a reference photo But you really can't see like the tones. It's good on this photo. So I've been doing it so long like I kind of know where they should be Like when I can't see it, it's good on my reference So practice The more you do it the better you'll get and see Where in this tone Right there Like that Then we're going to put a shadow under this hair Like this Like that Put a shadow on the place of a shadow Right here Place another one Like that And then we're going to place another one Like this I'm gonna place a shadow tone Let's place one in these ears So Let's go like this Come right here Now we got one tone out the way and we might don't have to come back to it later. Wait, let me see Let's create another layer right underneath That dark shadow layer Let's go a little brighter Our tones, this shadow show the shape of his nose So like that Also in this one it's slowly Slowly coming together And also I'm finna use these shadows To fall behind this hair So that don't look so plain So we're gonna throw some shadows behind A little mustache Give it some texture Don't make the bottom part of the face look so empty That's all And it's on down And notice how I put the different tones of shadows on separate layers So just in case I want to go back and make adjustments to the colors It'll be easier to work around Because I made everything on his own layer So make sure every time you go to A new color You create a new layer for just in case you want to adjust that one color And this up a little shadow layer Let's go up with our tone right that shadow over here Bring this up and this up like this Okay, it's over This shim shim Okay Now I'm gonna make this Hang on a lot of more you do it Like the deeper you start to get closer To finishing inside of your picture like you you'll just get into like a cruise control But sometimes I start out slow And then I'll just be having a feeling like a water make this picture look better So that's what I'm doing right now But just like I say the more you practice The more you will have have a eye for So it just don't You just ain't gonna be able to pick it up and be amazing at doing it. You just got to put in a lot of Man hours You got to put in a lot of time It's the key I think I want to add a little shadow on this side Make this look so plain And this over this up like this We're looking at cartoon head I'll probably go back To my dark shadow layer Just to make that tone a little deeper on the side of his face So let's do that We're just gonna touch up spots where it could be a little darker A little more darker make it flow. We missing Some highlights on his face For the skin tone then we can move to the next I'm gonna create a nice little Nice little highlight That's where the light will be reflected. Okay. That's that that's that shadow Yeah, because we forgot we forgot to add some Ones to these ears So they don't look so plain It's all good Create a layer right underneath the very top line work layer Add some tones Like the eyes On the scene We need to add a tone right inside A little pink part this top lip What we're going to do is we're going to select it Or we got to go to that layer Go to that layer select the lip color Then we're going to click draw inside right here. So it won't let us color outside that That layer create a nice little shadow forward Go to the pencil tool now. We just drew we're gonna turn that off We're gonna select this bottom lip for the drawing side. We're gonna create a Shadow for it again. We pretty much Is almost done Think I'm gonna add one more dark shadow tone So let me go back See we go right here. I want to make this side of his face a little more darker Tell me how this color palette is crazy. You see how smooth these colors transition into the nicks It's crazy, man. You just got to know how to use it a little darker over here like that It's a little darker It's a little more finish Let's come to This top layer Let's create an eye fix new to Sample this little color Better my brush my pencil tool last but not least We're gonna add some hair So we're just gonna go to the gradient All right, let's go To gradient And we're gonna go to metals No, not metals Okay I'll delete you delete you Make you black Make you black Move you to the center.
