MAKING A PHOTO LOOK LIKE PAINTING

Original image

...After retouching

It is not too difficult to make a photo look like painting, but it requires a little patience.

1. First, I used Dodge tool with exposure = 20% to take out all the dark area in the face.


2. Next step is drawing eyebrows by using Smudge tool with strength =30%


3. Make a new layer, used Brush tool and color= #fdd7d7 to make up the face a little rosy.


4. Filter -> Artistic -> Dry brush ( Brush size =1, brush detail =10, texture=1)

5. Again, I used Smudge tool with strength = 30% to smoother the skin, eyebrows, eyelashes, lip... a little patience and I've got the image above.
