  • Tracey Colon

    Tracey Colon

    so .. I have a question. Do you have to have both photoshop and devianart to do this? Im kinda new at this but very interested in what you did here!! Any help would be great! TY!

  • Sue Nueckel replied

    Hi Tracey,
    Photoshop is a graphics program which if you haven’t already got you can download a trial version of it here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?loc=en&product=photoshop.
    Deviant art is a web site for artists similar (but not better ;) than Redbubble. If there is anything else I can help you with please just ask :)
    cheers

    Your welcome

  • Sharon Hammond

    Sharon Hammond

    Thanks Sue…always wondered how you did it. It’s interesting that you still keep all the detail after the dodging

  • Sue Nueckel replied

    Your welcome Sharon :)
    However with the dodging tool I tend to go lightly over the eye avioding too much pressure on the pupil.
    some ppl tend to go full hammer n tongs and end up with a rather unrealistic look,which is OK if that’s what your looking for.
    I also go very lightly on the burn (more so that the dodge) as you can end up with some yucky dark results.Keep practicing and see what you end up with.
    I have to say I never get the same results twice which is good in a way as each pair of eyes I do always end up different :)
