Step 5
Proceed to add a model to the scene. Open the model image. Take the pen tool (P). With the tool, cut out the model from the image.
Step 6
Add the cut out to the main scene. Scale its size to the size as much as it is proper. Position the model in the middle of the scene under the light rays.
Step 7
In the next several steps we will create hair to the model. Firstly, take the pen tool (P) and create paths. The paths given in the screenshot is just an example, so we might not exactly create the same paths as the example below.
Step 8
Create another new layer (Shift+Ctrl+N) between the original hair1 and the duplicate layer. Name this layer, say, hair 2. Using given paths, paint highlight of the hair by stroking the paths. Use the color of #8e2c10.
Step 9
Now create again a new layer above all the other hair layers. Name this layer, say, hair 3. With a smaller brush with a size of 3-4 pixels and color #662f16, stroke the path to paint more highlights.
Step 10
Finally, create another new layer above the hair 3 layer. On this layer, stroke the same paths with a smaller brush of 1 pixels with lighter brown color.
Step 11
Proceed to give this model some retouching on the skin and dress. Go to filter > camera raw. Prior to giving it the filter, convert this layer into a smart object by going to layer > smart objects > convert to smart object. Use the value below:

really good one. i've learnt a lot from this tutorial-
you are the best. thanks a lot
Can not see the tutorial. how do I see it?
The detail with the hair is something I would not have even messed with. Thank you for the tips on that!
The first time I ever heard of Photoshop actions I never thought I would use them. Now, I cannot get through a project without using at least one.
The best tutorial I've found! You didn't leave out any steps. Everything was thorough both in explanation and in photos. If only I could get the hair paths to look more natural... :X
Nice tutorial, but a lot of unnecessary steps. The pic from the original girl that we cropped to the girl we added 20 different steps to enhance her has very little difference.
This would be a really cool album cover or the cover of a fantasy styled book. Great tutorial!
super awesome!!
I love your work, I'm new at this, your tutorial is very clear, I followed your guide and I made it,I hope you can make more tutorial like this, thank you very much.
I feel the same way. It is amazing how easy these tutorials are to follow.
