Advanced Photoshop 102 'Youth Fashion'

Last November Advanced Photoshop magazine commissioned me to create this illustration for a youth fashion tutorial.

I suggested a few images to the editor for me to use as the central figure for the tutorial and she went with the one below. As when I think of youth fashion I think of bright colours and swagger. I decided to change the models attire and hair colour and add some jewelery also, in an attempt to totally revamp the Model.
