Removing Eye, Darkening Eyebrows

Using-Masks, Blend Modes, Render-Fibres, Hue/Saturation

The changes I have made to this since the last time is I have darkened the eyebrows to make it fit with the dark effect and colouring I have use throughout the image. There are patches that haven’t been darkened but this is fine because I will darken the image to make this less obvious.

Another change I have made to the image is I have coloured the eye black using the Quick Selection Tool and the Paint Bucket Tool to colour this in black because this was quick and more precise rather than using the brush tool where I it would go outside the line. However I found this left a light line around the eye but I can make this fade using the Burn Tool set of Shadows which recognises the colour so black in this case and colours in it. As it was dark I turned the Exposure low. I then changed the Blend Mode of just this layer, I called this layer Eyecolour. It went from Normal to Colourburn, I was amazed at the results because this was exactly where I wanted to take my image appearance wise. It made the eye look as if it was red and I wouldn't have received the same results if I had simply painted the eye red. I altered the opacity and fill settings because to begin with it looked too dark and the rim didn't sit with the eyeline so I turned the settings on both down a little.
Another change I said I would which I have was to apply the same kind of bruise look to under the eye using the same process I used in the previous blog post which I have done so. You may notice it is a little darker, using more black tones but you can see the purple undertone a little. As I went along this I repeatedly changed the Photoshop settings like of the brush, brightness, opacity and fill until I had the desired look I wanted from my image.

I like everything I have done with this picture. I particularly like the dark haunting look of the eye. As this image was taken under the light, I liked the reflection which the light gave in the eye. I also like how the eye is ghostly red this gives an impression of anger or haunt which was the look I was going for.

What I will do next:

- Change background of image to fit image

- Use more red shades as this is colour theme
