Okay my little children... time to learn about how to use what could possibly become one of your favorite tools: Dodge/Burn tool.

Scroll down and select highlight and dodge.

Hightlight were you think you should.
 the line across her cheek is for the cheekbone... I might add some shading later underneath... I'll have to see. ^.^
...That there is a method to my madness.

Now, I'm sure you noticed the Burn/Shadow option when you learned to Dodge/highlight. And I'm sure you looked at my instructions funny and asked yourself "Well, why didn't we just use the burn/shadow thingy instead of opening up the color option thingy and find two different colors?" Well my dear friends, this is why:

Okay, now people, you need to go to make a new layer, title it 'Hair', because that's what we're doing next. If you decide to color it blonde or orange, you'll have to do the shading it like you did with the skin.

If you wanna be really fancy, add different colored 'strands' to the hair. Make sure you make the shadowed areas darker.

Use the Dodge/burn tool to hightlight:
 With the top highlight, you may want to do vertical lines though the highlighted curve like the one above.
Then blur like a mad woman (or man) mrgreen :
(Holy crap that came out good!)
Now erase (and smudge... >.<).

Now, I'm doing the lips now... because the hair isn't anywhere near the lips, you can do it on the same layer.... You could make another layer if you want to though. Now, pick a color and paint the lips.

Because the lips aren't yellow or orange, we can use the dodge/burn tool to shadow!! YAY!! Just chose Burn and shadow... and then shadow. You might want to go over it a few times (Click, hold down the mouse button when you go over it, reclick and do it again. If you just hold down the button and go over the area, it will not darken more than once per click.. does that make sense?)

How select Dodge and highlight and, well... highlight.

BLUR!!

Erase:

And this is what you get:

Now, I have to figure out how to show you guys how I do eyes... >.< Sefira's eyes are already colored....too small... crying

Okay, time to learn how to do an eye... Or at least the way I do an eye... sweatdrop Okay, this is a quick sketch, so don't judge it too much... If you make a sketch, remember to make another layer to put the color on.

With the eye, no matter the color, you'll probably want to burn and shadow.





 Now, sometimes I stop here... If it looks good. But, if I go on, I'll:



 DONE!!!
Now a break for lunch! ^.^

Whoa! Intense. Okay, I see how line art works best for this now... because of the overlays. I'll have to remember that, so as not to pencil in so much background and leave room for more color razz
