Remember guys, all of the tutorials featured on my LJ are made using PSP 8.
First off, I sharpened the image twice. Using the Smudge tool (hardness 40, opacity 40), I smoothed out the skin.
->
->
I duplicated the base twice. I set the topmost layer to HARD LIGHT 28%, and the middle layer to SCREEN 58%.
I created a new raster layer (Layers > New Raster Layer), and using the Paint Brush Tool (colour #159FFF, opacity 71, hardness 31) I coloured in the eye. I set this layer to OVERLAY 38%.
->
I merged all the layers. Then I took this texture, made by domeofstars, and I set it to LIGHTEN 100%.
->
I then took this texture, made by gender, and I set it to DARKEN 100%.
->
I merged the layers again. Using the Selection tool, I selected a rectangular portion of the face, and then I copy & pasted it as a new layer. I moved this new layer to the side, and then I desaturated it. (Adjust > Hue & Saturation > Hue/Saturation/Lightness > Saturation -100).
->
->
I then noticed that this new layer still doesn’t pop out much, so I decided to give it a Drop Shadow effect. (Effects > 3-D Effects > Drop Shadow > Opacity 100, Blur 10.14)
I merged the layers once again. Then I took this texture, made using a portion of a texture created by gender, and I set it to OVERLAY 100%. Using the Smudge tool (hardness 40, opacity 40), I smoothed out some of the areas of the texture that covered the face.
->
->
I merged all the layers, and then I added some text.
