Hey guys, I'm trying to shoot guys this year as much as possible, and want to learn how to retouch men's skin, facial hair, eyebrows, etc. I've got my first dodge and burn work where the model wanted a softer look (I usually shoot with unmodified light on men), and thought I'd put it out there for critique. Don't hold back - I've been using Photoshop for a very long time, but have only been dodging and burning for 2 years.

It may have been heavy handed. Jan 13 14 12:27 am Link Well, you have used the wrong radius as it is affecting texture big time!! Jan 13 14 12:36 am Link You are almost certainly right, thanks! Jan 13 14 01:45 pm Link I think you should tone down the effects. Reveal most "texture" back. Men don't want to be portrayed like Ken dolls, either. :-) Jan 13 14 06:06 pm Link RONALD NZ TAN wrote: This!...........I wouldn't soften the skin, I would probably make it more detailed. LOL Jan 13 14 06:18 pm Link Ah yes, but I was asked to make it softer as the original was quite... "sharp". Will find a middle ground  Jan 14 14 10:43 pm Link needs more detail in the skin...mens skin are generally more detailed than womens and that's the visual strength that your images has to project...so watch out for that, next time ;-) Jan 15 14 04:28 am Link |
