Retouching done by me, Ruud van Doorn. Photographer: Christopher Murr
Used the photo from [link] Thanks for the great stock.
this was used for training (retouching hair)
I'm not that satisfied about her skin and some other things but i'm happy with the result of her pony or how you want to name it!
what i have done:
changed background, retouched hair and filled it in. refined her skin (D&B of course). made her face a bit smaller, smoothed her lips, made her eyes more POP. done with dodge and burn. Made her fingers a bit smaller. And colour corrected the image of course. I sharpened the image too.
That beautiful small neck is from herself!
EDIT:
Smoothed the body texture, removed some hairs, did some final smoothing on the face skin texture, resemblances the body skin color to the face skin color. Of course there are still some tiny things that bother me, but i don't want to go overboard.
thanks for the answer!
