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.

SELF PORTRAIT MACHINE

CHARITY CLUB LOGO

This is a logo I tried to make for RMIT Charity Club. First off all, a group of students want to create a new club in school and called it "Charity Club". Therefor, I made this logo based on the purpose of the club : doing charity works. However, due to the small size of the club, they decided to change the name into "Charity Team". With the new name, I don't know how to change the logo. As you can see, I combined 3 red hearts to make them look like the shape of letter "C" which is the first letter of "Charity" and the black "C" is abbreviation of "Club". The problem here is that changing "C" into "T" but still keeping 3 hearts and the circle below. Pls give me some advises.
