Identifying flat areas in the base composite and targeting areas to build shadows based upon the production light source. Learn to build dimension with shadow and light. Paint with a variety of shadow techniques, developing a layered approach, creating a soft, natural diffusion.
Review areas to apply the shading technique and consider best practices for creating a realistic composite with dimension and shape. Considerations around a layer based shading approach
Refine the composite to remove halos. Create a simple skin retouch.
Refine layer organization and manually build and apply Frequency Separation to subtly hone the skin tones and support the painterly look.
