Elf-Girl Picture

As you can see the girl's eyes need to look brighter too. Create a new layer above the eyes and add more color on it (Brush Tool). Smudge the edges and change the layer's type on Linear Burn. Merge down the basic layer with eyes' one: Layer – Merge Down (ctrl+e).



On a new layer, above the skin's layer we should represent the clothes (preliminary minimizing the layer's Opacity till 70%).



Give back the Opacity of 100% to the layer and start representing the shadows on the sleeves using the Brush Tool and smudging the colors with the usual instrument (Smudge Tool).



Applying the Burn Tool and the Dodge Tool, it's possible to insert more shadow's and light's facets. Don't forget to blur them out too.



Represent the same way the second sleeve, but make it darker because it is situated farther from the light. Both sleeves need to be processed with Filter – Brush Strokes – Accented Edges. But fist mark them out with the Polygonal Lasso Tool.



We need to work now with the bodice. Introduce the shadows and the light (Brush Tool).



Smudge out the pictured places (Smudge Tool) and accentuate the deepest shadows with the Brush Tool.



Represent the same way the lowest part of the bodice.

 



Insert on the bodice now the textile texture. Using the Smudge Tool spread the color on different bodice's parts.
