step 12 of 12

Faces changed colors when color changes were made, so I decided to redo their faces. I brought up the source photo of marionette and lassoed out the face which I duplicated and put over each of the 3 faces. Using edit/scale and edit/distort, I fit each face to its respective marionette. Then edges were blended with brush and erase tools.
