Step 28

You can see some highlights on model lips. With this tutorial concept we need to remove it. Create a new layer on the top. I use brush with similar color with model lips ( #bbbebd) and paint on lips. Set the mode as Darken 100% ( it’s the best mode in this case).

Make a new layer and continue painting this brush over model lips, but with Soft light mode 100% to make a pale look for lips:

Step 29

To remove highlights on model nose I use brush with color #dedede. Paint and put the mode as Darken 100%:

Step 30

I use some adjustment layers to change color of picture.

Go to Layer-New adjustment layer-Gradient Map:

Change the mode of this Gradient Map layer to Soft light 80%.

Layer-New adjustment layer-Color Balance:

To reduce the contrast I add a Brightness/Contrast layer ( Layer-New adjustment layer-Brightness/Contrast):

    I think the instruction is pretty good however when I enter some of the values for the blood colors they don’t look like yours ….not sure if that is because I have an older version or what.

    You can turn this artwork into a symbolism of the Hong Kong police force by putting the blood in one eye only.
