13. Dress Bottom Inset, Go to the layer manager and
click on the eye of the dress bottom layer to close the dress bottom so
we can see the picture, using white or use your own color, and draw an
ellipse over the lighter color shade for the inset of the dress or you
can skip this part, you don't really need it. I used an ellipse in
color red for the eye ring to cover the space near the face.
We have finished drawing the main part of the lady, it is time to
give her some shading. |
