As a guy who loves to paint sexy girlies, the most important tool in my arsenal is . . . . good reference material! That's right, a good ol' Victoria's Secret catalog! Seriously, this is an excellent source of reference if you like to paint babes. And here's a tip for the fellas - go online and buy mama some sexy little unmentionables. You not only get to see your beloved prance about in skimpy panties, you'll get on the Vickie's mailing list and get your OWN full color reference material every other month! How can she object to that??

After tapping color into the area, gently blow the excess away. Swallow your spit and lick your lips dry first or you'll blow tiny globs of spit onto your lovely work and screw it up (experience talking here!)

Take a slightly softer brush (I dab with a #2 and blend with a #4), blend the pastel AWAY from the areas where the shading is the greatest and blend it into the skin tone. Don't worry if it doesn't look just perfect right away - take your time and build it up over several applications. You don't have to do it all on the first pass. Patience!!

As a matter of preference, I like to add a light shading around the line where the skin meets the clothing. Here I brush away from her jumper, blending back into the skintone.

Um, lets see now, where was I? Oh yeah - refer to your **ahem** reference material and use the techniques outlined above to shade the face. Shade under her jaw, inside her ears, under the brow, along side her nose and under her lower lip. Define the hollow areas of the cheeks and add a bit of blush while you're at it. With Future Girl, we are going to add another band of color across her eyes later on, but for now define the facial features.

Models are three dimensional representations, but sometimes a little extra attention can add even more depth and dimension. Here I use pastels to define the musculature on her arms. I really dig a babe with defined shoulders, so these areas get a little extra love and attention. Note also that I carefully brushed and blended around the tops of her shoulders where they will meet the armholes of her jumper. Be careful not to mess up the highlighting you did with your airbrush back in the last step!

Once you're happy with everything, blow any remaining excess powder off the model (I use canned air) and seal your progress with Dullcote.

And here she is, ready for masking!
