Batgirl in 6 easy steps STEP 5

There are many ways to separate foreground from background and the color white can be especially powerful on a colored midground field. I use whiteout to create volume by pulling out the shine and highlights on the form (essentially anything curved gets a white dab or streak of color to show the shape is 3-D and is reflective an off camera light source) and then on top of it, I just throw white in the background using my fingers as brushes. The idea is to pop her off the green and create some moody atmosphere at the same time.

I also use the white out as a graphical element, outlining her silhouette which is the crudest and simplest way of popping the figure off the same colored background.
