Brush the darker part of the forehead with (#f1cf16).

Move the layer in front of the layer with the hair you created in step 6.

Step 22

Use the lasso tool (L) tool on a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N) named “legs shadow”. Move it over the ”forehead shadow” layer to create a shape like in the picture below.

Set brush hardness at 100% and fill the selection with color (#f1cf16)

Step 23

Make a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N) named “tail shadow”. Move it over the “legs shadow” layer and create a selection with the lasso tool (L) on the tail. Fill it with colour (#f1cf16) using a brush with 100% hardness.

Step 24

Create a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N) and move it over the “tail shadow” layer. Name it “right arm shadow”. On the right hand, make a selection with the lasso tool (L) and brush it with colour (#f1cf16) set to 100% hardness.

Step 25

Create a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N) and name it “ear shadow”. Move it over the “right arm shadow” layer. Make a new path with the pen tool (P) on the left ear like in the picture.

Make the selection and fill it with color (#f1cf16)

Step 26

Create a shadow on the left hand under the ball. Make a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N) named “left arm shadow” and move it over the “ear shadow” layer. Make a selection with the pen tool (P) as shown below.

Create a shadow by filling the selection with the brush tool (B) in color (#f1cf16) with 100% hardness.

Step 27

Create a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N) named “neck shadow”. Move it under the “forehead shadow” layer and create the shadow on the neck by making a selection like shown in the picture with the pen tool (P)

Fill it with color (#e1e1e1) using the brush tool (B).

Step 28

Make a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N) named “tail tip shadow” and move it under the “forehead shadow” layer. Make a new selection on the tail tip with the pen tool (P).

Create the shadow using the brush tool (B) in color (# e1e1e1)
