Shading/Face shaping with Dodge and Burn

[gamedonechanged]

I was wondering if there are any resources available that show the basic facial structure as a 3d model? Kind of like I suppose what an overlay layer on 50% gray would look like after shading has been done with the dodge and burn tools....

I thought this would help me somewhat when doing shading. Also are there any general guidlines of advice anyone can offer when doing this part of a retouch on a person?

Thanks

Regardless of the retouching tools used...I find it highly informative to go over to "YouTube" and type in "Facial Contouring Makeup" and several like terms.

If you watch how real makeup artists use actual makeup to contour the face...then you will have the blueprint to help make your retouches more realistic and attractive.

Mouse Over to fade . You can also change viewing mode to a dividing line, move position with mouse.

For a sample of what an overlay layer on 50% gray would look like after shading has been done with the dodge and burn tools....

Chris Tarantino has a sample 50% Gray layer that he says is "about halfway there" located here

Amy Dresser does her thing... There is a brief explanation from Amy... Plus a link to a sample PSD file showing her layers and work flow, in this post . .

The "Carve" 50% Gray Overlay layer plus the two white painted layers above it from Amy Dressers' PSD
