PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL 003
Black Demon eyes.
Black Demon eyes.
Hello,
everyone...once more. Today I shall offer you another PhotoShop tutorial before
going about my business. I thought of a couple of requests that were made, and
I decided to do first the Demon-Supernatural show like manipulation -
aka applying black eyes to a model. It's very easy, to be quite honest,
all you have to do is to blacken the eyes and make it look realistic, so that
is what we will do right now. That is what we will be doing:
I. Open
your program and open an image of a model in it - no matter which one, but make
sure it's a HD picture, so the outcome will be pretty. I have chosen Adriana
Lima for it.
II. Our
first step is to make the black eyes. Indeed, we are that quick. In the opened
image, create a new layer and then using the Lasso Tool, select the area you will be filling with black. (Some
people, who do the same kind of edits, do not use Paint Bucket, but a Brush
Tool, however I find it easier and cleaner to just fill the area with the
colour instead of trying to apply the paint without going crazy and missing
spots. Now, with the area selected, simply fill it with the black colour. Don't
worry if the sides of the black spot are sharp, unrealistically looking and
seem weird. We will correct that in a few seconds.
III. Still
working with the new layer, select Blur
Tool in the Tool Box and apply it
to the sides of the black area. After which, select the Smudge Tool and drag the sides of the black spot so it would fit perfectly
the eye. There, normally you should have somewhat an already quite pretty
looking image.
IV. Now we
shall proceed on to the reflection, because, indeed, the eye must be black, the
pupils are black also, but the eyes always have a light reflection, and the
Demons have the same. Create another layer above the black spot, and select the
Brush Tool and a white colour. Create
three little spots on the eye; a big one and two little ones not far away from
one another. Set the layer to 75% of opacity, and then, select the Blur Brush and slightly apply the tool
on the spots, so they would look well fit to the picture.
V. Before
doing any further changes to the eyes, I decided to quickly apply a small
change of contrast to the image, so I tweaked it slightly in Curves. Don't go crazy there, because
the picture must still look normal. Once that is done, zoom in on one of the
eyes (we shall do the magic on one eye first, and then the second), select the
layer of the main picture (without merging the layers of the black spot and the
white reflections) and using the Burn
Tool, create shadows by the eye, so the black would fit more nicely to the
set, and the look would appear more fierce.
VI. Your
image is ready, but I decided to use some more effects, so the I applied Surface Blur and Paint Daubs. And there you go - your image is done.
