Zombie Eyes

Take a photo of a person and give them zombie eyes!
Instructions:
1. Open a photo of a person in Photoshop that is looking at the camera.

2. Select the Clone Stamp tool.

3. Begin clone stamping the white areas of color around the pupil and retina. Clone stamp over the entire eye, trying your best to keep as little variation in color as possible. It doesn't have to be perfect, because we'll blend it better in the next steps.

4. Now select the Smudge tool. Make sure the Strength is somewhere below 50%.

5. Using the smudge tool, begin pushing in the darker color from the outside into the inside of the eye. So that it leads from color to the white. This will give the eye a rounded effect and look more convincing.

6. Do steps 2 through 5 with the other eye.
7. Choose a dark color the matches the lining of the eye. Select the Paint Brush tool, set the opacity to 30%, then go over the lining of the eye a few times. (Use the smudge tool again on the lining of the eye if necessary so that it isn't too dark and obvious).

8. You're done! You should now have a photo with zombie eyes!

How to Create Your Own Brushes

This tutorial about how to create your own brushes and set up individual settings for it.

First of all, find some appropriate image to create the brush from it. I prefer to use this one. Actually, you can use different pictures for brushes if you want.
So, open the image and go to Image > Adjustments > Desaturate to make it black-and-white.

Then create a new brush with Edit > Define Brush Preset, enter the brush name, for example, Flower_1 and press Ok to save it, then it will show up in your brushes. Create a new document sized 1000×500 pixels with all the default settings, RGB, 72 dpi, white background etc (in the future for this tutorial we will create a couple of new documents with the same presets to demonstrate brush presets). Select the Brush Tool and find our created brush in brush palette:

So, your prints should look as mine:

It is simply method to create brush. Also we can make brush edges softer. For this go back to
Example.jpg and clear background with Eraser Tool. Now we have something like this:

Then go to Edit > Define Brush Preset again and save this brush as Flower_2. Create a new one document and make new brush prints:

Ok, now I would like to review more brush presets. Click the button ‘Toggle the Brushes palette’ on the Options Bar to open brush presets window or by choosing Window > Brushes. Here we can see a couple of presets. I would like to briefly review main of them.

Click the name of the action, such as Scattering, to reach the sliders to adjust it. After you’ve made the adjustments, use the check box to turn the effect on or off.

The result will be the next:

Don’t forget to add new brush to brush palette. Press the button selected on picture below then chose New Brush Preset.

Chose Texture action. Here you can set different parameters affecting the application of texture to brush prints. It is possible to use Photoshop textures or download your own.

Select a new one interesting action Dual Brush. In this action is possible to mix two different brushes.
Over the basis of a brush, installed in the main window palette and the second is configured in the window presets.

Select Color Dynamic action. If you use a graphics tablet and stylus, you can get the same sort of fade-out effect that you’d get in the real world by easing off the pressure on a brush or pencil. You have five options for each of these settings: Off, Fade, Pen Pressure, Pen Tilt, and Stylus Wheel. In this pane you can range color dynamic for the brush.

Also we can add some noise to the brush. You can see the difference on picture below:

Wet Edges creates a sort of watercolor effect when you paint.

Thank you all for reading this Photoshop tutorial, I hope you learned something!

Make Up Effect for the Face

In this Photoshop tutorial I will be walking you through the creating new make up for the face.

Open up the stock photo you’ve chosen to be working with for this tutorial. First of all we need to make face skin softer. For this effect duplicate layer with Ctrl+D and apply Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur with the next presets:

After that mess with the layer mode & opacity/fill. I tried Soft Light with opacity of 60%. Ok, now get out the Eraser Tool and make clear area out of face skin.

Merge two layers in one. See the difference:

After that I think we should add some lipstick on lips. So, select the Polygonal Lasso Tool and make selection as on picture below:

Press Ctrl+J to duplicate selected area and change the color with Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation using similar settings to these:

Now we have something like this:

To bring it real view find and get out the Eraser Tool and clear unnecessary parts of the layer out of lips. After that set opacity up to 70% for this layer.

Now I would like to change eyes color and add some eye shadows. Select the Elliptical Marquee Tool and make selection as below:

Press Ctrl+J to duplicate selected area on the new layer. Now Image > Adjustments > Levels with the next presets:

To get the next picture:

Ok, now select the Eraser Tool again and a soft round brush to make a little clean work as on picture below:

Fill the selection with color of #a2ab8d and press Ctrl+D to deselect chosen area:

Apply Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur with the next presets:

Change layer mode to Hue:

Looking pretty good! Isn’t it? And the last one thing, I would like to put on rouge. For this create a new layer, then get out the Brush Tool and a soft round brush and make not so big spots from the left and rights sides of the face using color of #ff94a8:

Now apply Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur with similar settings to these:

Your picture should look as mine:

Now clear rouge out of face borders using the Eraser Tool and set up layer mode to Color for the layer:

That is it! Now we have cool make up effect for the face.

Animatrix Woman

1. New Document
Open up your favourite picture of the most attractive women you'll never meet. I picked a random beautiful woman.

2. Level Change
Press Ctrl+L to toggle level change. Move both the White arrow a little bit to the middle. This will Increase the image exposure. Use settings much like below:

Until You have like below:

3. Change the Color
Now, press CTRL+U to toggel colour change, and change the colour. I used the following settings to give me a green colour.

After you finish this, sharpen it up some, by doing filter>sharpen>sharpen and it should look like this:

4. Apply Filter
Now duplicate the layer, and on the top layer, add a filter>blur>gaussian blur with these settings:

After you have finished bluring your top layer set the layer blending mode to overlay and then click on the bottomw layer and press ctrl+shift+u (this should desaturate your layer)

5. Dark Strokes
Click on the bottom, (now greyscale) layer, and do a filter>brush stokes>dark strokes using these settings:

Your girl should look like this now:

6. Matrix Code
Already you have an animatrix type woman. From this point you can experiment with other brush strokes, and maybe sharpen some more. To me she already looks very abstract and much like the animation in the animatrix. But I want more, make to clear its matrix related so we'll add some matrix code.

Start by adding a line of text, make it green and small, and only put one letter on a line. so it looks like this:

It can be any font, use as many symbols as possible.

7. Duplicate Layer
Now make sure your text layer is on top of all other layers, then duplicate it by right-clicking and selected "duplicate layer.." After you have done this, click on the top layer, and add a filter>blur>gaussian blur using the same settings as before (should still be in there).

Finally we want to merge this layer with the original text layer, by right-clicking on the original text layer, and selecting rasterize and then clicking on the top layer and pressing ctrl+e.
After you do this you should get some blurred code text:

8. Merge the Layer
Now comes the interesting part, duplicate this layer move the text column to the right an inch, shrink it, and lower its opacity down, then press ctrl+e to merge.
Repeat this step until you have many lines of text, experimenting with opacities, and sizes, make sure you get a good number of lines. When you think your satisfied change your layer blending mode to colour burn and you should come out with something like this:

thats it! looks real good to me!
