You can even use the chalk brush tool but make sure to sample from multiple points to create a variety of colors.Ĭreate some more new layers and play around with the dry brushes and various colors and opacities. You can see in the photo below that I painted the hair, the shoulder and the face.Ĭreate a new layer and repeat the process described in step 5 but this time focus on the background.
