First off, I noticed that the image was a bit blurry, so I sharpened the image twice. Using the SMUDGE tool (hardness 40, opacity 40) I smoothed out the skin, and ONLY the skin. (I left the lips and the eyes alone).
->
->
I duplicated the image once. I set the new layer to SCREEN 100%, and then I desaturated it. I merged all the layers.
->
I took this texture (made by myself) and I set it to SCREEN 86%.
->
I took this texture (made by scarsonchest) and I set it to DARKEN 100%. Using the PUSH tool (hardness 10, opacity 100) I pushed away some of the rough areas of the texture that covered the face. I merged all the layers.
->
->
I duplicated the image once. I set the new layer to SCREEN 62%, and then I desaturated it.
I added some text (made by aronia).
->
By the way, for anyone who's interested, I just started a graphics community, and I'm looking to get it started. If anyone's interested in becoming a member/maintainer of the community, then please join it (_elite_icons_. :)
