Photo stylization for painting. oil filter

Today we will talk about artistic filters in Photoshop. With the help of these filters it is possible to stylize as a painting (oil, pastel, pencil), imitate surfaces and structures. With these filters, you can create works of art from your photos.

Filter - a tool for changing the image. It can be blurring, sharpening, styling, embossing, changing colors and much more.

You can find all filters in the "Filter" tab, which is located at the top. When you click on this tab, a menu appears in front of us.

Watercolor (Watercolor) . Watercolor painting effect.

Imitates drawing with watercolors. But not very good. With a couple of tricks, you can achieve wonderful results. Do two copy the photo with Ctrl + J, then select the “Watercolor” filter.

We see the settings

  • Brush Size (Brush size).
  • Brush Detail (Brush details). Determines how accurately details will be saved.
  • Texture (Texture). Determines the severity of the paper texture.

Adjust the settings to taste. On the left we see the texture, on the right - the result.

Change the blend mode of the first layer toScreen(Lightening or Screen), and the second onMultiply(Multiplication). Add masks to both layers. Hold down the Alt key to create a black mask. With a brush white color and a watercolor brush, variants of which you will find on the Internet, paint on masks. This way you will simulate typical color transitions. Photoshop did the preliminary work and prepared the sketch. With the help of brushes and textures, you can get the desired effect.


Colored Pencil (Colored pencil). Imitates drawing with a colored pencil.

The Colored Pencil filter uses the current background color as the color of the paper on which the drawing will be created. That is, even before applying the filter, you need to make a small decision. The colors of the picture will change to the colors of the pencils. Between the pencil strokes, the color of the paper will be visible.

  • Pencil Width (Pencil thickness). Adjusts the thickness of strokes.
  • Stroke Width (Dash pressure). Simulates strong or weak pressure on a pencil.
  • Paper Brightness.
With a brightness value of 16, you'll get a paper color that roughly matches the background color. When moving the slider to the right of the value 16, the color will be lighter, to the left - darker.


Because small parts rarely well worked out, it is better to work with big photos. With a one-time filter application, it is difficult to get a good result. Therefore, I recommend making several copies of the image, applying different settings on different copies and using layer masks to draw those areas that best fit this part of the photo. The texture of the paper makes the image look more realistic. In this case the texture is on a layer above all other layers and I used the layer blend modeMultiply(Multiplication) with little transparency.

Smudge Stick. Smooth, soft image effect.

The filter softens the image by adding diagonal strokes, making light areas brighter and less detailed. This filter uses the colors of the image to simulate feathering. In this case, you can set the length of the stroke, which naturally affects the details and sharpness / blur. You can change the brightness of different areas of the image and the brightness intensity.

  • Highlight Area (Brightness zone).
  • Intensity (Intensity).


Since the content of the image does not change, it is possible to create a “photo-realistic” picture. To do this, make two copies of the original and go to the filter. On the bottom layer, set stroke length, brightness zone and intensity to 0. On the top layer stroke length - 10 , brightness zone - 10 and intensity - 3. Change the blend mode of this layer to overlay (Overlay) and set the Opacity to 50%.

This will ensure that the strokes are not too uniform. Of course, it is important to choose the right motive here. Fantastic collages are more suitable here than, for example, a portrait.

Cutout (Application) . Turns a photo into a colored paper application.

The filter combines similar colors and imitates an appliqué made from glued pieces of paper. The number of levels determines the number of colors in the collage. Edge simplification - how accurately and evenly the pieces of paper were cut. Edge precision is only responsive when the abstraction level is not set to 0. The lower the scale value edge Simplicity (Edge Simplification) and more value scales Edge Fidelity, the less distortion. Image brightness does not change

  • No of Levels determines the number of color levels
  • Edge Simplicity (Edge Simplification).
  • Edge Fidelity (Edge Accuracy).



That is, using this filter, you can achieve the effect of illustration. Even a simple outline is enough to determine the content of an image. Here, too, it is very important to choose the right image. Here, too, it makes sense to use different layer blending modes, for example, Overlay (Overlay).

Fresco (Fresco) . Fresco painting:

This filter simulates the application of paint to still fresh plaster, at least in theory. The choice of motive is very important here as well.

  • Brush Size (Brush size).
  • Texture (Texture). Adjusts the sharpness of the edges.




To make the photo look like a fresco, I applied a filter with the settings r brush size - 1, brush details - 10, texture - 1, overlaid the texture with the appearance of plaster and usingImage - Adjustment - Hue/Saturationreduced the saturation of the image. Then I changed the layer blend mode toMultiply(Multiplication).

Dry Brush (Dry brush). Imitation of drawing with a dry brush.

The result of applying this filter is a drawing that is very reminiscent of the dry brush technique (drawing large quantity paint with a small amount of water).

  • Brush Size (Brush size).
  • Brush Detail (Brush details). Specifies how much detail to keep.
  • Texture (Texture). Adjusts the severity of the paper texture.


Here you can apply a filter with settings brush size - 1, brush details - 10, texture - 2. The picture is starting to look like a painting. Make a copy of the layer and apply the filter again with the settings brush size - 10, brush details - 10, texture - 1 and change the layer opacity to 50%. Paper texture can enhance the effect.

Rough Pastels (Pastel). Pastel drawing effect.

Using this filter gives the effect of a pastel drawing. The upper part of the dialog box sets the stroke length and the level of detail. In the lower part, the properties of the material on which the pattern is applied, the size of the texture, the relief and the direction of the light are determined.

  • Stroke Length (Dash length).
  • Stroke Detail. Determines how strong the strokes will be.
  • Texture (Texture). Allows you to select the texture: brick (brick), burlap (burlap), canvas (canvas), sandstone (sandstone).
  • Scaling (Scale).
  • Relief (Relief).
The Invert checkbox inverts the relief.


Settings depend on the motive. After the filter settings, it is necessary to remove (or partially remove) the filter action on some parts of the image using a mask.

Film Grain. Superimposes grain on the image, imitating shooting on a film camera:

On contrasting shots it gives quite an interesting effect. Grain scale(Grain) controls the grain size,Highlight Area (Lighting) - the percentage of lightened areas, and Intensity (Intensity) - exposure (illuminance).

  • Grain (Grain). The amount of grain in the image.
  • Highlight Area (Brightness zone). Increases the brightness of the final image.
  • Intensity (Intensity). Adjusts the brightness and sets the intensity of the bright areas.


Make two copies of the picture and apply on upper layer filter with settings grain - 8, brightness zone - 14, intensity - 2. Change the blend mode of the top layer toMultiply(Multiplication), and the layer below it onScreen (Lightening). This will give you a contrast shot with grain.

Plastic Wrap (Polyethylene wrap). It gives the impression that the picture was placed inside a plastic bag or film.
  • Highlight strength (Strength of highlights). Determines how strong the polyethylene highlights will be.
  • Detail (Details). The level of detail of the outline.
  • Smoothness (Smoothing). Glare smoothness.

Underpainting (Drawing under the surface). Creates the effect of drawing under different surfaces.
  • Stroke Length (Dash length).
  • Texture Coverage
  • Texture (Texture).
  • Scaling (Scale).
  • Relief (Relief).
  • Light (Light). Allows you to select from which side the relief will be illuminated.


In this case, I took the texture of the canvas scale 50% and terrain height - 5. Light - bottom right, stroke length 0 to get the outline. Here is the result:



Grand Cru Rotwein/Wilm Ihlenfeld


Palette knife (Spatula). Imitation of the image applied by a tool such as a wide knife.

Allows you to imitate the technique of oil painting performed special tool type of wide knife (with a spatula or palette knife). The image becomes emphatically rough.

  • Stroke Size (Stroke size). Adjusts the size of the stroke around the edges of the path.
  • Stroke Detail (Stroke detail).
  • Softness (Softness). Smoothes the picture.


Unfortunately, the filter only affects small areas of color. Color transitions are not affected. This can be fixed by choosing the right texture and overlaying it with the blend modeMultiply(Multiplication). Then merge the layers (original and texture) and make two copies. Apply a filter with settings on the top layer stroke size - 50, stroke detail - 3, softness - 0. Set the layer opacity to 80% and change the top layer's blend mode toScreen(Lightening).

Neon Glow (Neon glow). Creates a neon glow along the contours of the object in the picture.

Turns an image into a monochrome negative and adds a light stroke, "glow", to the outline of objects.

  • Glow Size
  • Glow Brightness
Size controls whether the picture is shown as an original or a negative. Brightness determines how the background affects the picture. In this filter, you can choose the color of the neon glow.

Paint Daubs. Creates the look of an oil painting.

Makes the picture look like an oil painting.

  • Brush Size (Brush size). Already familiar to us parameter.
  • Sharpness (Sharpness).
Here you can set the type of brush (Brush Type).


Filter applied here with settings brush size - 25 and sharpness - 20. Brush type - wide and medium hardness. Texture overlaid on top with blend modeMultiply(Multiplication) and transparency 25%. Then a copy of the layer was made and the blending mode was selected.soft light
(Soft light) and transparency 50%

Sponge (Sponge). Sponge effect.

  • Brush Size (Brush size).
  • Definition (image clarity).
  • Smoothness (Smoothing).
Here is a variant of the picture with the filter applied with settings brush size - 0, sharpness - 6 and smoothing - 1 and the second copy of the layer with settings brush size - 5, sharpness -10 and smoothing - 15. Transparency - 50%. The texture is overlaid on top.

Poster Edges. Enhances the outlines of an image.

  • Edge thickness
  • Edge intensity (Edge intensity).
  • Poserization (Posterization).
Finds the outlines of the image and outlines them with black lines. The result will look like a poster. In this case, a filter with settings is applied edge thickness - 10, edge intensity - 5 and posterization - 6. Sometimes the image needs to be blurred before applying the filter.

We will talk about other filters and their application in the next article.

Step 1: Convert the Background Layer to a Smart Object
There are two ways to apply any filter to a layer, including the oil paint filter. The first of these is a normal, static filter, which means that by applying the filter we will make permanent, irreversible changes to the pixels of the layer.

Another way is to apply the filter as a smart filter, which will save the filter settings and make it fully editable later (this method is called Non-Destructive and it is always better, because the filter settings can be changed and even temporarily disabled or removed ).

So, open the original photo in Photoshop, open (if not open) layers panel, our photo is now the background layer, right-click on the background layer and select the line "Convert to Smart Object" (Convert to Smart Object). As a result, we have a smart object from the background layer, the icon located in the lower right corner of the layer thumbnail tells us about this:

The background layer has been converted to a smart object.

Step 2: Selecting the "Oil Paint..." Filter (Oil Paint...)
It starts in the usual way. through the main menu tab Filter --> Styling --> Oil Paint (Filter --> Stylize --> Oil Paint).

Note. For some reason, in my assembly of Photoshop, the filter is not translated, the name and interface are still in English.

This will open the filter dialog box. In Photoshop CS6, the dialog took up the entire screen, but now in the CC version, the window is much smaller and fits nicely into the rest of the interface. At the very top there is a preview window, and below it various options oil paint effect controls, we'll look at all of them now:


Oil Paint... Filter Dialog Box

Preview window

The filter provides the ability to view its action in real time right in the document, but this is not always convenient, for example, if the source image is large and does not fit on the monitor at 100% scale.

Fortunately, the preview window at the top of the filter dialog box gives us an easy way to view and analyze sections of an image at 100% scale. Of course, the preview will only fit a small portion of the image, but you can easily navigate to the right areas by simply clicking on that place in the document. which you want to watch.

When you hover your mouse cursor over the image, you will see that the cursor has changed to small square A that represents the bounds of the preview window. Just click on the place you want to see you want to see. Here I clicked on the area between the yellow and pink flower buds:



Preview in the filter window at 100% scale.

Directly below the preview window is the current zoom level indicator, which is set to 100% by default. Use the plus and minus icons to change the display scale.

And finally, the "Preview" option to the right of the window enables/disables preview within the document itself. whether or not to see that we are previewing the oil painting effect inside the image itself. You can also turn on / off the preview in the document with the P key.

Brush options

The filter options in the dialog box are divided into two main parts. The first contains the brush settings options: Stylization (Stylization), Purity (Cleanliness), Scale (Scale) and Bristle Detail (Bristle Detail). We use these settings to adjust various aspects of the strokes.

Below the brush options are the lighting options that set the direction of the light source as well as the overall contrast of the effect.

We'll start by looking at the brush options. But before we continue, make sure that the option "Lighting" (Lighting) is enabled (the checkbox is ticked). The reason is that without lighting effects, we won't be able to see our strokes of oil paint. Also, with the lighting option turned on, increase the value of the Shine parameter, which adjusts the stroke contrast so that you can clearly see the brush strokes in the image. The value should not be too large, 2.0 is fine. However, this is only needed now to make it easier to learn how the brush options work. We'll take a closer look at the lighting settings later, but for now let's get back to the brush options.

Stylization
The first brush parameter is Stylization. It sets the style of the brush strokes, ranging from rough smudging at the lowest setting to very smooth motion at the highest setting. Here's what the document will look like if you drag the styling slider to the left, down to its lowest value (0.1). As you can see, the minimum Stylization value makes the strokes rounded, roughly outlined, the picture is given a detailed look:



Filter "Oil paint with a minimum value of the parameter" Stylization "(Stylization)

As the Stylize value is increased, the strokes become smoother and longer. And if you move the slider all the way to the right until maximum value 10, the document will look like this:



An effect using the maximum Styling value.

For my image, I will choose something in between, I think a value of 4 will do. The value, of course, depends on the original image.

Here's what my drawing looks like with value 4:



An effect with a Styling value of 4

Cleanliness
The second brush setting is Cleanliness. She's in control length brush strokes, ranging from short and choppy at low settings to long, stringy strokes at high settings. Short strokes make the painting more textured and detailed, while long strokes give it a less detailed, smoother look.

Here's what the document looks like with the "Purity" slider dragged to the left



The effect obtained with the "Purity" slider set to 0.

And this is the view of the document at the maximum value of "Purity":



Painting with "Clarity" set to 10.

I think long, blurry strokes work best for this image, but at maximum Purity, they are too long. I would like to bring back a little more detail, so I will reduce the setting value to 7. Another value might work better for your image.

Scale
So we've learned that the Stylization setting controls the smoothness of strokes, while Cleanliness controls their length. The third setting, Scale, controls the size (or thickness) of the brush itself. Use low scale values ​​for thin, narrow brushes, or higher values ​​for larger, thicker brushes.

I lower the "Scale" value down to its minimum value (0.1). At the lowest level, the strokes look like they were painted with a very thin brush. Notice also that because thin brushes tend to use less paint, we don't see a lot of paint relief on the canvas:



The effect at the lowest "Scale" value.

Now let's see what happens if we drag the slider to the opposite end, increasing the scale to the maximum value (10). The strokes are much thicker, as if using a large brush. And, since I used a larger brush, the relief from the strokes on the canvas is more pronounced compared to the thin brush we used earlier:



The effect at the maximum "Scale" value.

Bristle Detail
The fourth brush setting controls the grooves left by the brush bristles. At lower values, the grooves are subtle and soft, becoming deeper and more pronounced as the setting value is increased.
I will be lowering the Bristle Details value to its minimum value (zero). To better see the effect, I've zoomed in on a portion of the image to 200%:



Result with Bristle Detail set to zero.

Let's increase the parameter to a maximum value of 10. The grooves become much stronger and more obvious:



Effect with Bristle Detail set to 10.

Of course, the maximum and minimum values ​​of the above settings are rarely used in practice. I use the following settings for my image:

  • Stylization - 4
  • Cleanliness - 7
  • Scale - 7
  • Bristle Detail - 5

Here's what my picture looks like with the filter options listed above:



Intermediate result.

Lighting Options

Under the brush options is a section with lighting settings. Even though there are only two of them ("Angle" and "Shine"), they play essential role when forming the effect of converting a photo into an oil painting. Before we start setting the lighting parameters, we must first make sure that the box to the left of the word "Lighting" (Lighting) is checked.

Angle
This setting controls the direction of light falling on the painting, which affects the direction of shadows and highlights created by strokes of oil paint. To change the direction, click position the mouse cursor inside the circle, hold the cursor and move it to rotate the disk. In addition, you can manually enter the numbers that define the angle in the input field. For example, an angle value of 90° corresponds to the direction vertically from above, a value of 180° - the light comes from the left.

In my case, it feels like the image itself has a light source coming from the top left corner, so I'll set the value to something like 135°:


Pressing the left mouse button and moving the cursor inside the circle.

For comparison, here's what this picture originally looked like before changing the lighting angle, back, with the light coming from the bottom right corner. Pay attention to shadows and highlights:



An oil painting effect with light coming from the lower right corner.

And here is what it looks like after rotating towards the top left corner. Below are white and yellow flowers lost terrain details after changing the lighting, while others, for example, yellow flower near the center, now displayed in more detail:



The same picture after moving the light source to the upper left corner.

Shine
And finally, the "Shine" option controls the brightness of the light source, which affects the intensity of shadows and highlights (streaks of paint, not the actual image). Setting "Shine" to its lowest value, zero, essentially turns the light source off, giving the effect almost flat view(or rather, the lack of effect).
Increasing the value to the maximum, ten, creates overly strong, unnatural shadows and highlights. In most cases, a fairly low value works best, something like 0.5 - 4. Here I've set the "Shine" value to 2:



The average value of "Glitter".

Disabling lighting options

Now that we've covered the lighting options and their importance to the overall appearance smears, why don't we turn off the lights? Simply put, disable to see brushstrokes! Why don't you want to see smears? Well, with the strokes visible, we get the embossed effect created by the shadows and highlights from the relief of the paint on the canvas. Turning off the lights smoothes the image, which gives us a very clean, soft and smooth result.
To turn off the lighting, simply uncheck the option of the same name (in the English interface - Lighting). This will not completely disable the effect created by the oil paint filter, but will give the following result:


Filter operation when the lighting option is off.

Finally, when you're all set, click OK to apply the filter action and close the dialog box.

Hello site members! With recent pods, a popular treatment called oil has emerged. Its essence lies in the fact that the photo as a result looks like a picture drawn with oil paints. Now I will teach you how to do it, for those who do not know yet.

So here is our source:


This picture was taken with kit. I used to have 6d + 24-105, but in the end I sold and bought a 60 with a whale. In a studio with such a set, the source files are of excellent quality, especially if they are processed with high quality after.

Begin:

  1. Open the source in Photoshop CS6. ATTENTION! This filter " Oil paint” is only available in Photoshop CS6. You can of course install it separately in earlier versions, I didn’t do it myself, if you know how, write in the comments. They also write that this filter is in Adobe Photoshop CC.
  2. Open the "plastic" filter and adjust the figure. Often the model has an ideal figure, but a slightly wrong angle does not convey it adequately. For such cases, there is a wonderful plastic filter. The main thing, of course, is not to overdo it and not change the girl so much that her own friends will not recognize her. Of course, it is better to shoot immediately so that no filter is needed. If you can do that, then great =)
  3. Eliminate skin imperfections. Pimples, scars, cuts, all this is easily corrected with standard Photoshop tools, such as the “healing brush”. The tool works very simply. You need to set the size of the brush - a little larger than a pimple or scar. Hold down ALT on the keyboard and select an area of ​​the skin where everything is smooth and there are no defects. Release and gently drag over the place you want to fix.
  4. Now we need to make even more even skin. Download and install if you haven't already done so with the "potterura" filter.


This filter is very easy to use. First, duplicate the layer. Open the portrait filter. Adjust the strength of the applied effect.


Then select the pipette, click on the darkest area of ​​the skin and save. Then apply again and click on the lightest area of ​​the skin and also save.



We leave the effect only on the skin itself. We also wash from hair and from underwear. It is important for us to preserve the sharpness of some details.

7. After you have finished correcting skin imperfections, you need to improve the volume. To do this, you need to work with light and shadows on the skin of the model using dodge and burn technology.

Now you need to create 2 layers with curves. 1 curve will be called "light", the other "shadow". You need to lift one curve up and the other down. And the mask of each curve must be converted to black so that the effect is not visible.



And on the layers of shadow and light we draw the volume. The technology is very simple. Where there are shadows - draw with a brush along the “shadow” curve. Thus, the shadows become even darker. Where there is light, respectively, along a curve with light. The technology is simple, but the most important thing is to do everything carefully and not overdo it, otherwise it will not turn out naturally. Everything should be in moderation. This is actually the most difficult in this lesson and at the same time the simplest. You just need to practice and then everything will turn out qualitatively.



When you process the hair, the transparency of the brush can be increased in order to make the effect stronger.


Create a curve like this on a new layer:


Create a gradient with these colors:



And create a layer with exposure, adjusting the "gamma correction" parameter:


As a result, we got this result:


10. Now the fun begins. What was all this for? Apply the oil paint filter:


Set the filter settings:


And we apply.

I completely forgot to say. Before that, all layers must be merged. Duplicate the resulting layer. Now I will explain why. This filter smears so much that important details disappear. For example, eyes, nose, lips. In order to prevent this from happening, after applying this filter, leave the layer where the filter was not applied or was applied but with more gentle settings. Thus, if the eraser tool with a transparency of 50% or less is removed along the top layer, then it is possible to restore the details that were lost when applying the filter.

Here is an example:





So don't forget to layer so you can go back a step.

The top of the body was warmer than the bottom and I ended up balancing them out.

12. After that I decided to sharpen the whole picture. I duplicated the layer and applied the "color contrast" filter:


I set the options there:


To the resulting layer, I set the layer mode to "overlay":


In this way, the picture became sharper. Then I duplicated this layer with sharpness 2 more times. But this is a matter of taste. You can 1 or 2 times and that's enough. You can also adjust layers with sharpness according to the transparency of the layer. In the ground, experiment as you like.


That's basically all =)


14. I would also like to clarify one important detail which I understood over time.

This photo was taken with an 18 megapixel camera. If, before applying the oil paint filter, the photo is reduced to at least 12 megapixels, then the filter is applied with even greater force. Thus, a stronger picture effect can be achieved.

Applying a filter to a photo that is 3000 pixels wide:


Applying a filter to a 1500px photo:


As you can see, the fewer pixels, the stronger the effect.

That's all, I hope the lesson will be useful for you and you have discovered something new. Good luck!

PS If something is not clear to you, write in the comments, I will gradually correct and supplement the lesson.


..........
This lesson can be done in any version of Photoshop.
Complexity- difficult.

Dear friends, dear Subscribers of my diary!
I do not add a watermark (signature) to my works,
as it destroys the image.
But please ,
do not use my work and lessons on other sites without my permission.
If you link to my profile,
I will be grateful to you.

Download brushes for work:
(click on the picture below)

Also, to help you, friends,
please see the Video Lesson from Bratskij Valentin.

..........
To do oil painting effect we need two source images:
background and image of a girl.

Material for work:

1. Create a new document.

We transfer the image Background to work.
Stretching the Background with Free Transform
throughout the document.

2. Open and cut out our girl in any way.
We transfer to work and arrange as in the screenshot.

3.Ctrl+J-create a duplicate layer -girl-.
Change the Blending Mode to Linear Light.
Select Menu-Filter-Other-Color Contrast..

Note. Choose color contrast values
at your discretion, the main thing is that your girlfriend's face
became clearer and more contrasting.

You can also apply Filter - Sharpen - "Smart" sharpness ..

4. On top of all layers, add an adjustment layer
Selective color correction.

We set the values.
For my girlfriend:
Reds: Purple (-100)
Yellow: Blue(-100), Yellow(+100)
Green: Blue(-100), Yellow(+100)
White:Yellow(-100)
Neutrals: Blue(-20)

5. We load the Butterfly brushes from the material for work into Adobe Photoshop.
Create a new layer and draw butterflies like in the screenshot.
Add layer styles to the butterfly layer Shadow and Outer Glow.

6. Convert the layer -butterflies- into a smart object.
What is a smart object can be read
Select Menu-Filter-Blur-Motion Blur..

7. Click on the filter effect mask thumbnail.
Take a soft black round brush, Opacity 50%.
We erase in some places the blur effect on the butterflies.

8.Create a new layer and draw stars.
Also add an Outer Glow layer style.
Set the values ​​to your liking.

9. Get on the layer -girl-.
Add to layer -girl-styles layer Outer Glow and Stroke.

10. Get on the topmost layer
and press the key combination Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E - print all visible layers
(or just do Merge All Visible Layers)

Ctrl + J - make a duplicate.
We zoom in on the image.

Let's start to draw our picturesque picture.

We load the brushes that are offered at the beginning of the lesson for download into Adobe Photoshop.
Select the Finger Tool.
Choose from a set of brushes Brush number 795.

11. Set the size of the brush, which is more convenient for you,
In my work, at first I set the brush size to 70%, Intensity to 40%.

We begin to draw on our girl.
First of all, draw on the girl's face.
In the course of work, the Intensity values ​​are reduced if necessary.
and the size of the brush is done somewhere smaller, somewhere more.
We try to move the brush in such a way as to observe the main directions of the anatomy of the face:
along the nose, around the eyes, along the cheekbones, along the lines of the lips.
Draw the same on the edges of the eyes, pupils, sinuses.

Then we move on to the arms, neck.
We process each finger separately.
Also change the Intensity and Size of the brush.
During the blur, we do: circular movements, along, across.
We draw on our girl in such a way that not a single untreated area remains.

Note. This processing, of course, takes a lot of time and patience.
From the first time, you may not succeed as you would like.
The more often you practice this interesting effect,
the faster you will achieve high-quality results.

Then we move on to the hair.
Increase the intensity on the hair up to 50%.
You can try to take another brush from the presented set,
for example 557 or 464 or 500-experiment.

We draw clothes and a wreath on the girl’s head with a brush
Intensity 25-30%. We also change the size of the brush.
We draw each leaf separately
Imagine that you are painting on paper.

12. When finished with the processing of the girl,
create a new layer on top of the layer with the girl,
To do this, press Ctrl+Shift+N.

13. Take the tool O-Clarifier and Dimmer
We set Exposure, about 10-15%,
values ​​again, we change in the course of work -
somewhere more, somewhere less.
And with a regular round soft brush, also in the course of work
by changing its size we lighten the light parts of the face, hands, hair of the girl.
Darken the dark areas with a dimmer.

It is difficult for me to describe in words exactly where to lighten and darken,
therefore, do not be too lazy to watch the video lesson from Bratskij Valentin
and, hopefully, it will become clear how to work with the Dodge and Burn tools.

14. Finished with the drawing of the girl,
added lights and shadows.
Now we make a print of all visible layers - press the key combination Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E.
Add a Photo Filter Adjustment Layer.

I wish you all creative success
and pleasant impressions from the work done!

Thank you for your attention to my work!
