Now, make a new document ” File > New ” I`ve used 400 by 90, you can use other size if you want to . Fill the first layer with white ” Edit > Fill ”<!–[if !vml]–>
<!–[endif]–>Now find a nice looking render, bring it into your canvas, and then re-size it. I have placed mine in the middle of my tag.<!–[if !vml]–>
<!–[endif]–>Make new layer and select your brush tool, get out the soft round brush and make two orange dots around the renders face, I have made mine on the bottom of the tag. Set the layer to Linear dodge.<!–[if !vml]–>
<!–[endif]–>Do the same what we did one step before, but this time use yellow color and make the dots on different places, not the same as previous time.<!–[if !vml]–>
<!–[endif]–>Take your brush tool and select some cool brushes maybe grunge, just some that looks like mine. Then select yellow color and brush on the bottom of the tag with em. Do it on the left side of the render and the right side.<!–[if !vml]–>
<!–[endif]–>Now take again your brush tool, select soft round brush and make two black dots, one on the left side of the renders head, and second on the right side. Set the layer to Soft Lighten.<!–[if !vml]–>
<!–[endif]–>Again brush tool, select some cool brushes as before for the yellow brushing. This time us black color and brush on the sides .<!–[if !vml]–>
<!–[endif]–>Find a nice looking c4D, place it on the right side of the renders head. Then sharpen it some times ” Filter > sharpen > sharpen ” and erase the rest,you’ll have something like this :<!–[if !vml]–>
<!–[endif]–>Set It to lighten <!–[if !vml]–>
<!–[endif]–>Apply Image on new layer ” Image > apply image ” then take your burn tool select soft round brush and make the left and right side around the head a lot lighter. Then lower opacity of the layer to 55%<!–[if !vml]–>

It looks reaaly great, thankyou for the tutorial..But I have one problem, namely, at the first few steps, when you need to use the brush to put dots around the face, I don’t get the effect that you do (as if there’s coming light from the back) do you know why?
