But i will try to keep it simpel.
–
Save this picture or use any pic you like.
Start Paint Shop and open your image.From the menu bar, select Window/Duplicate.
This will create a duplicate of your image,You can close your original now,
We have to use separate layers for the skin, hair, eye, eyebrow,
– From the menu bar: go to layers and add a New Raster Layer
– Open your layer palette F8 / The Layer Palette should open.
– Now we have to use the Freehand Selection Tool(lasso tool)
– Selection type: Edge Seeker/ Mode replace/
Feather: 5/ Range :10/ Smoothing 0/ Anti-alias & Sample merged : Yes.
– Now select the part of the pic which you want to fill with color ( The Skin)
– Choose a color for the skin #fec694 or #f6c6c8( If your model have a dark skin tone,than use the second color (#f6c6c8)
– Now brush the selection with the color of your choice:
Use the Paint Brush :Shape rounde/ Size:30/Hardness:50/
– Go to your layer palette: Turn it to Soft Light
– go to to selection: select none
(TIP: Play with the blend Mode: don’t use only the soft light (on al your pic), You can also play with the opacity…)
I like to work with:The soft light/Overlay/ and color mode.
The effects are Awesome!
– Do the same with the hair
– New raster layer / Blend Mode :color or soft light
_ Select the hair with the Freehand tool
