Become model in three minutes.
In this tutorial I’m going to teach you how to make a pimpled face to a clean pretty face.

First take a picture that you want to improve its face’s look, I took this picture:

Now pick the “healing brush tool”-

The reason is that you need to “hiding” all the pimples and the wounds.

Press Alt and choose a “clean area” in the face and start to clean all the pimples and the wounds

by the skin color (copy the clean area on the skin).

After you’ve done it, you will get something like this:

Now we will make the face’s skin look smooth.

Duplicate the layer:

Now we will blur the 2nd layer.

go to Filter->Blur->Gaussian Blur:

And copy the following settings:

Now make the picture’s opacity lower:

Then make a layer mask:

Use the Brush tool (black color)-

And erase parts that you don’t want to be blured (eyes, hair, glasses)

Now we will make the teeth whiter:

Select the teeth with the lasso tool, and fill the selected area in white

Now change the picture options like here:

Ok it is the end. I hope you liked this tutorial, I got this result:

Unique First Sig

Unique First Sig.
In this tutorial you’re about to learn how to make your first photoshop sig.

1. First open a new document that is the size you would like your sig to be, I used 200×400px, and make sure your colors are black and white by pressing (D). And go to Filter > Render > Clouds. Press ctrl+f to randomize this until you get a design you like.

2. Take an abstract brush set and go crazy on one side of the sig with a white fill color, so that it looks like it is fading towards the black clouds. Right click the layer and click blending options. Enable the drop shadow at default settings to give an added effect.

3. At this point you should have a render or stock photo in mind. I am going to use a sonic render from planetrenders.net. From this render I am going to make the background into a blue color using a Color Balance Layer (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance…). Play around with the colors until you are satisfied.

Eye Drawing

dvirhazout — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 08:53:38 +0000

Eye Drawing.
In this tutorial you’re about to learn how to draw an eye using only photoshop.

	First draw the outline of an eye. You are drawing in Photoshop. it’s okay to have a little sketchy feel to the picture when you initially start the drawing.Don’t forget to draw the little pink spot at the corner of the eye.
	Now draw the eyeball. Normally the top of the eyeball is covered by the upper eyelid more than the bottom of the eyeball is being covered by the lower eyelid.
	Fill in the colors: Note: Do NOT use white for the eye-white. It is not white. Instead use a lightgrey.(maybe tinted with a little bit of blue).Don’t forget to color in thethin layer of pink at the top of the bottom eyelid. If you looked at yourself in the mirror, you would notice it.
	The power of BLACK! The area at the bottom of the upper eyelid is almost always black. This makes the eye look very nice when it’s done.
	Shading the eye: Using a darker brown, shade the outer sections of the eyeball. Then using the dodge tool, and draw very thin lines radiating from the direction of the pupil.
	Use the dodge tool in a circular motion around the pupil untilyour eye seems to start to glow a little. To make your eyeshine, simply touch it up with a little bit of white.
	Eyelids:Your eyes won’t look too bad without eyelids at this point, but they do play an important part inmaking the eye look realistic.Notice the bottom eyelid? It’s been smoothened out and now has a defined thickness.
	Draw an arch above the eye using a thin black brush. Then using a soft round airbrush, (bigger size of course) at a very low opacity and trace over the same line a few times to create a nice shadow.
	Eye lashes~!No eye is complete without some dark pretty eyelashes =) Simply use a thin soft round brush and start drawing them lashes! Be gentle with them. =)
	Put in some shadow on the upper left and the lowerright of that upper eyelid line, and: TADA~!Made by: Yan F for PSEffect.
