burning done to add dimension...more liquify to adjust some facial features
step 4 of 7
step four couldn't be uploaded, there was something wrong with my file. But that step is where i desaturated skin tones and brought out more of the facial features with burning and dodging.
the image below is technically step 5, but...you can see the work i did on the eyes specifically with a seperate layer of just color, then did some work to bring out the definition of the eyes.
