So last we left I applied the flats to the image, In this post I am applying some base tones. Using a simple brush tool I have been laying down some reds that are a bit darker than the flat. When I am doing this I am trying to keep an image in my head as to how the clothing has shape and weight. I am not shadowing the image as of yet, but more just adding a bit of texture to it just for a little extra detail. Keeping it simple and touching it up as I go.

After I am satisfied with my tones layer, I will follow it up with smoothing out the dark red to create a little blend between the reds. So stay tuned!
