Paint some hair strands on the top of the head and on the back:
On a new layer, change the color of this brush to #f5f2e6. Paint the bigger, flying strands and remember to use the [ and ] key to decrease and increase the size of the brush while painting:
I used a new layer and white color for the brush to paint some highlights for the hair:
Step 26
Merge the model layer, the clone and the hair ones. Place her in the middle section of the current image:
Create a new layer (Clipping Mask) and use a soft brush with the color #ccc8cb to paint on the model dress to reduce the light there. I set this layer mode to Multiply 70%:
Step 27
I used a Hue Saturation adjustment layer to reduce the saturation of the model:
Step 28
Make a Color Balance adjustment layer to add some blue to the model. Use a soft black brush to reduce this effect on the model skin:
Step 29
Add a Photo Filter adjustment layer to the model and use a soft black brush to reduce the effect on the skin:
Step 30
I used Curves to reduce the light on the model and apply brushing on the mask:
Step 31
Add a Levels adjustment layer to brighten the right of the model and work on this layer mask after adjusting:
Step 32
In this step I used a soft brush with the color #6e8799 to paint on the hair to add more cyan to it. Set this layer mode to Color 100%:
Step 33
Make a new layer (Clipping Mask), change the mode to Overlay 100% and fill with 50% gray:
Take the Dodge and Burn Tool (O) with Midtones Range, Exposure about 20% to refine the shade and light on the model. You can see how I did it with the Normal mode and the result with the Overlay mode:
Step 34
To enhance the lips, on a new layer I used a soft brush with the color #bc8a78 to paint there. Set this layer mode to Soft Light 100%:
Step 35
To make the background light reflected on the legs I created a new layer with a soft brush and the color #6e9299 to paint there. Turn this layer mode into Vivid Light 100%:
Step 36
Open the light 1 texture pack. Choose the starry 6 image and position it at the top right of the scene. Change the mode to Screen 100%:
Add a mask to this layer and use a soft black brush to remove the hard edges of this texture.
