layer for the skin and dress and launch
Particle Shop, again. (Tip: If the Merge
Visible menu item is grayed out, that’s
because the active layer is hidden. So,
make sure the topmost visible layer is
active first.) This time go to the Blend
brush pack and select the Bristly Hard
brush to paint along the major fea-
tures of her face, arm, and the folds
of her dress. If the brushstrokes are
too distractingly apparent, switch to
the Blender tool on the left and brush
over those areas to even them out.
Step 13: While the plug-in is still
open, switch to the Wedding brush
pack, select the Directional Veil brush,
and set the brush color to white using
the Color Wheel on the left. Use this
brush to create the soft highlights on
the folds of the fabric by clicking on
the pinch of a fold and tracing down
along the ridge. The brush pulls out a
beautiful veil-like shape to accentuate
the previous brushwork.
Step 14: Now it’s time to turn our
attention to those balloons. Go back
to the Blend brush pack and use
the Speed or the Speed Size brush
to create the appearance of painted
strokes along the balloons. Use the
Blender tool to soften any strokes
that are distractingly obvious.
