highlights and shadows in
your scene – they will help
make it look realistic. Because
the female figure is going
from a bedroom to a park, it’s
necessary to pay attention to
the highlights and shadows
to make the scene believable.

her face, use the Burn Tool (O),
set the Exposure to 50% and
gently paint the darkest parts.
To enhance highlights, use the
