Photoshop: lip01

My paint brushes have hardened. My drawing book has no blank page left. My acrylic paints are in kampung. But, fortunately, I found a new thing to play with now: Adobe Photoshop CS4 ^_^

With a computing mouse at the tip of my fingers and a laptop turned on in front of me, I tried to learn my first Photoshop lesson: Drawing lips.

I put in some shadows and added some blurring effects.

Then I applied a Gradient map (using New Adjustment Layer) to make the background more brownish (to imitate how skin would look like). I wanted to make the lips looked more red/pink too, but I could not find the right buttons.

Since I need to do something else, I have to stop this here first. So I'm assigning myself a new assignment which is to find the right buttons to make that lips red. Till next time...:) hehehe
