Step 4 – More Gold Patterns & Final Touches

We’re almost done! I further applied an extra layer of gold texture over the face, with the same process as described in step 3:

I also added a new layer of gold texture below the face layer as shown below:

Use a soft eraser to remove parts of the texture:

Apply the following Levels adjustment to this gold texture layer below face:
