You will need my doe selections
and the fawnfur.jpg.
Extract the selection files and the fawnfur.jpg to where
ever you keep them and can find them :o)
The fur jpg was obtained here and
colourised

OK, lets role up our
sleeves and get creating.
I hope you like the lighten and darken aspect of the
retouch tool as this tut uses it a lot :o)

the round preset but change the angle to 0.
15. OK, now for the
artistic bit :o) When I use the retouch tool I use a
sweeping brush stroke gradually building up the effect. I
went through layer by layer using the retouch tool to
lighten and darken areas of the doe. She was lightened
fairly drastically in places especially the r inner ear
and l ear layer and around the eyes and nose and the end
of the tail. I didn't magnify the image as the results
were seen better at normal view, if you go wrong simple
use your undo tool. Here is a screen shot of the
retouching shown in the hope you can see where to make
your adjustments.


16. In the layer palette click on
the tail layer to make active, use the retouch tool set to
smudge at these settings to pull out the fur slightly on
the tail.

Merge all visible layers and with the
retouch tool set to soften at these settings, soften the entire doe, save as a tube or in PSP format
for future use.

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial,
if you haven't already done them the Buck and
Fawn are
waiting for you.
