Freehand Painting with Photoshop

The Conclusion

Finally, I erased the eye area of the mask and filled it back in with another shaded eye. Not quite as strong as on the human side, but enough for you to know it is there. I adjusted the Hue and Saturation of the mask, and deepened the shadows to give it a bit more contrast and mood. I then cropped the image slightly to bring the focus in more on the face.

That concludes this freehand painting tutorial!
I hope you enjoyed it and maybe picked up a new trick or two.
