King Kong – part 3.

Let’s first do the curls, since the glow will overwhelm the curls and barrier them. You’ll want to again use the soft brush, with Pen Pressure set on, and use the same color as the outer rim of her hair and just stroke thin lines of it, some chubby others skinny. This usually can be time grueling but it’s up to you if you want the details. For the final step of her hair will be the overall glow. I will admit, I think I went a bit overboard with the hair glow, but it’s all up to you on how far you want to take it. Get that soft brush out again, and set it to screen, get a bright yellow (more near white) and turn the opacity down to 10% and just stroke over her hair. Don’t etch at it, do full on strokes so it stays the same pattern. Not really any more to it then what I have said, the rest is up to you, creatively.

Ann’s Eyes: For her eyes, where we left off on the basically coloring and rendering of them. We need to start molding her eyebrows more, giving them more edge and slant. Thinning them out also helps, too bold and you will have manly guy eyebrows, which really doesn’t fit Ann too much. After they are thinned, start to work on her eyelashes and eye make up. The darkness really pops out on her skin, so you need to use a very dark blue to outline them. Give them sharper edges near the slit of the eye to give that more edgy female form, also a big thing that tips it off is near her upper eye lid HER left, it slants up, which would be the starting eyelashes.. Inside the eye, you’ll put in some dark blues at the bottom, then round them off on HER right side with lighter blues. This will give the eye a more rounded feel, and dimensions. A tiny blotch of white near the edge of her eye lid will end this eye off. To add more to the glare, just Dodge tool it a little bit to get a clearer glow. And to end it of, darken her upper eye sockets with a grey-blue.
