6) I worked on Mr Woland's body. To help me making this image more symmetrical I often rotated it in every direction. I changed the cat details on the Mr Woland's stick, now looking more discreet!
I added a shade of blue at the bottom of the image to better harmonize the colors, and added a slight contrast to the image with the brightness / contrast command.
7) I corrected the face of the Woland: I made his eyes more symmetrical and emphasized on the darkening of the eyelids, then I went back again on the anatomy of the chest.
At this point the job was almost finished but I had the impression that the image was a little lukewarm so I did a little post production: playing with color curves, added red and then adjusted the saturation with hue / saturation command, at the end I added a glow layer to the highlights.
Example - If you have multiple layers, duplicate your image file (image > duplicate), flat all layer (layer > flatten image) and drag it in your original one putting it on top , otherwise if you just have one layer duplicate it, set this layer on screen mode, threshold it (image > adjustments > threshold) until only the highlights are still visible, set the blur level (filter > blur > Gaussian blur) and the hue (image > adjustment > hue/saturation) to your liking.
I hope you could found in these few words some elements of interest and growth for your artistic skills. Bye.
