cosplayers/lolita can photoshop their pictures, as long as this doesn't turn into a "make me uguu/beautiful" thread this can be board relevant

It's not even a little bit convincing, honestly. You went overboard on the glowy exposure, and the girls outline fades out and gets blurry at strange parts. Plus the wobbly line of her bottoms are just cringe-worthy.

I don't really do liquify or anything (bc I don't know how, I just eye drop a similar place, take the opacity down on the brush and just paint over what I want to be lighter or a different color.

I also skewed the picture to try and manipulate the camera angle, darkened your eyes, smoothed your lips and gave you a slight smile.

[Anonymous No.6471264]

>>6471234
>>6471246

Anon who actually did the one in >>6471199 here. I don't paint over in low opacity color. I use the clone stamp tool carefully with a stylus. If it's a drastic line then I do the darkest part with the dodge tool first so it's closer to the surrounding area before clone-stamping, usually sampling from just further below the eye away from the dark area but still close enough to be the correct skin tone.

>>6471246 anon, why are you trying to describe my shoop as if you did it, genuinely confused here. Especially since the half the methods you're describing I didn't use.

[Anonymous No.6471266]

a lot of problems people have when photoshoping is making the picture too contrasted and bright which might make the picture too "sharp" feeling with extremely vibrant colors.

My advice is just to keep a "natural picture" quality to it so it doesn't look like it was shooped

You should leave more imperfection like some of the lines under her eyes/moles and rather than drawing in the eyes import some stock ones and try to work them in. Just my two cents but maybe it will help!

The eyebrows do look fine, but they look realistic. I wasn't sure if you were going for CG or not so they looked out of place. I would recommend this tutorial >>6462219 and if that seems like too much work there are brushes out there that'll add in skin texture after you airbrush. Adonihs/Dan Luvisi has some good ones on his DA.

Someone have a guide to changing lighting like in >>6471076 ??
or any tips beyond just basic "fuck around with curves and levels"

[Anonymous No.6475120]

>>6471056

Be careful when you crank the contrast and saturation. Contrast and saturation are kinda the easy way to make a photo look a lot better quickly, but it's also really common to overdo them. I don't mind the deep blacks in the ivy, but look at her hair. In the original, there's quite a bit of detail all throughout, but in the shopped version there are lots of chunks that have ended up as formless splotches of neon red. This is exacerbated by the fact that, due to the largely green tones and over-saturated colors, the hair is where your eye is most drawn in the photo.

Overall I like your choice to keep things simple! Since you're working with small changes, keeping an eye out for the details will really make your shops jump from good to great.

[Anonymous No.6475154]

>>6475013
I sort of didn't know what to do with it, so I mostly just slimmed down her thighs. I don't really know what curves are supposed to look like, not having any myself, haha.

>>6475017
What's the best way of doing that? I was using dodge & burn, which evened it a tiny bit, but all dat flab, christ.

That's it.
Plus she's the main female in a shounen anime (read: series with many male fans).
Thus, more attention than her tits can jiggle at.

You can tell if a chick's never seen TTGL if she doesn't realize that Yoko has more outfits.

[Anonymous No.6475327]

why did you shrink down her butt?

[Anonymous No.6475346]

[Anonymous No.6475771]

A couple tips for you guys I picked up while I was borrowing a Lynda.com subscription.

High-pass filter is in fact NOT useless. Make a copy of the main picture, apply high-pass (you usually don't need to go higher than 1.0), and then set the Blending Mode to Overlay. Shit sharpens like a pro. Use a mask to then keep it only on hair, eyes, eyebrows, lips and sometimes the nose.

Gaussian blur can be used in an incredible way for a healthy amount of contrast in the skin. Set your layer to a Smart Layer and then apply a Gaussian Blur. In your Layers panel, double click the lines next to the actual word Gaussian Blur, and you'll see a menu that isn't where you change the strength of the blur, but it's blending mode. Change it to the blending mode of your choosing (some work better than others in different situations), and voila, a healthy way to add life and contrast to your entire picture. Adjust strength with opacity or masks.

I'll post more tips (ask questions, if you'd like) if you want. A little sleep atm, so I might just continue in the morning (1:42 AM where I'm at).
