Go to brightness/contrast and lighten up the image a bit. I keep mine on +10 brightness and +10 contrast and repeat this if necessary. Merge all layers. Resize down to say 1024×768 (wallpaper size) and add a simple black border to accentuate the black inner eye. And don’t forget to sign your work.
Anyways … this concludes this tutorial, be sure to check back for more 
About the author:
I was born and raised in central Canada in 1962, and I live there still with my husband and our teenage son. Art has always played a part in my life, for the last 7 years or so I have focused on digital art, tapestry and painting in acrylics. I am co-owner of Groundfrost Illustration and Design which began in October 2004. Some of our clients include the Black Eyed Peas, God Forbid and The Killers. My digital art tools are Paintshop Pro 9, Poser 5, a Kodak Easy Share camera and a Wacom tablet. Poser 5 and my digital camera are still new tools to me, I’m learning as I go. I can’t imagine my life without art in it, its a part of me.
