16. Face shading: Right click on the
face and convert object type: From text/path to image. Make sure the
face is selected. Using your burn tool with the setting on the left.. Run the burn tool down the right and left side of his face, only one wipe and on each side of his chin. Then use the blur tool with these settings you see on the left. Blend the shading from the burn tool, you just did on the sides of his face and chin.
17. Use the airbrush with the settings in the example on the left and the color is:#A7674B. Airbrush down starting from above the inside of the eyes, to outline the nose. Look at the image at left. The example has also been blurred. change the airbrush size to 3, color:#A7674B for the nostrils. 18.Using the dodge with the settings at left, run it down between the two lines of, where we used the airbrush, the bridge of the nose when you come to the end of the nose, make a little wider sweep to both sides as the nose flares out at the end. Use the dodge tool under each eye to add highlights. Not too much, just a short stroke. Change to dodge tool size to:5 and lighten a small portion above his mouth to the nose. Use the blur tool, see setting at left, to blend in the airbrush and dodge. If don't like it, use the undo button and start over. :)) You can see what mine looks like after the blur is applied. It's ok if yours doesn't look exactly like mine, if your satisfied that is what matters.
