It is necessary
- - Adobe Photoshop;
- - file with the image of the statue.
Instructions
Step 1
Load the statue image into Adobe Photoshop by pressing Ctrl + O or choosing "Open …" from the File menu. Use the Zoom Tool to zoom in and out so that it becomes more comfortable to work with the face.
Step 2
Create a selection around the face and neck (the parts of the image where the real person represented by the statue should have exposed areas of the skin). Use different types of Lasso tools or the Pen Tool. Exclude the eyes and lips from the selection. This can be done by applying the same tools with the Alt key pressed. If necessary, adjust the area in quick mask mode or using the Select menu commands.
Step 3
Change the shade of the selection so that it looks like human skin. Open the Hue / Saturation dialog by choosing the item with the identical name in the Adjustments section of the Image menu. Activate the Colorize option. Move the sliders Hue, Saturation, Lightness until you get the desired color. Click OK.
Step 4
Remove significant blemishes from the statue's face. Use tools like Patch Tool, Healing Brush Tool, Spot Healing Brush Tool.
Step 5
Proceed with gentle correction of facial imperfections. Press the key combinations Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V in sequence. A new layer will be created with a copy of the image from the selection area. Press Ctrl + Shift + D to restore the selection. Select items Filter, Blur, "Gaussian Blur …" from the main menu. In the dialog that appears, set the Radius value so that the image becomes blurry enough. Click OK. Change the Opacity in the Layers Panel to 30-50%.
Step 6
Activate the Eraser Tool. Choose a soft (20-25% Hardness) brush with a suitable diameter. Swipe over the areas of the image that you need to make it clearer (eyes, lips, nose, chin). After achieving the desired effect, merge the layers by choosing Layer and Merge Down from the menu or pressing Ctrl + E.
Step 7
Give your lips a natural shade. Create a marquee around them in the same way as in the second step. Follow the steps of the third step to obtain the desired color.
Step 8
Treat the eyes in the same way. Highlight them. Exclude from the selection area of the irises and pupils (for this it is convenient to use a quick mask). Lighten the cornea with Hue / Saturation. Select the irises. Give them the color you want. Paint over the pupils with a black soft-edged brush.
Step 9
Evaluate the result of the work by viewing the image at different scales. If necessary, work on other parts of the statue (hands, hair). Save the image to a file by pressing Ctrl + Shift + S.
