ADD MORE BLOCKS
We need to use the
other blocks images to cover
the rest of the face. Go to the
next image then prepare and
convert to black and white like
before. Select the blocks and
copy them in, then position and
mask the layer. We’ve added
another layer for the blocks
over the neck here.

PAINT THE FLOOR
Highlight the bottom
layer, click the new layer icon
and then grab the Brush tool.
Hold Alt and click to sample one
of the shadowy tones in the
plain floor, then - using a large
soft brush - paint over the body
to hide the parts outside the
blocks. Add a mask and use it to
fine-tune what exactly is visible
on this layer.


08


SAMPLE AND FILL
The blocks along the
bottom here look a little messy,
so we can sample the skin
tones and paint to make them
more uniform. Make a new
layer above the background
layer then grab the Brush tool.
Alt-click to sample the skin then
paint over the blocks to make
them pink.
