After painting the figure completely, I apply texture to it and erase the parts that I don't like by using the borders of the figure's layers, which I select by clicking Load Selection. (Fig.05)

Step 06:
I apply Dodge on the picture, upon which the texturing stage is over, after merging the layers. Dodge is a tool that should be used wisely, and I advise you to work with it by making light touches only. (Fig.06)

Step 07:
Now we can work on the highlights. First I paint the large parts that should get light with a small soft round airbrush. You don't have to choose a very light colour, and you can always go back and use the Dodge tool to increase the volume of light. (Fig.07)
