Outlining the hand

You will now fine-tune the mask around the one of the trickiest parts of the drawing: the hand resting on the rail. You will achieve a precise outline by zooming in on the hand and adding to or subtracting from the mask as needed.

To fine-tune the hand

1. Click the Zoom tool, and click the hand resting on the railing until the Zoom level box on the property bar displays 500%.
2. On the property bar, type 3 in the Nib size box.
3. Drag as close to her hand as possible. Pay special attention to her index finger and thumb. You can use the Additive mode and Subtractive mode buttons on the property bar as needed.
