It has been a while since I’ve had a change to do some real Photoshop manipulations. I’ve always been envious of people that are able to “paint” in photo realistic portraits in Photoshop. Over the weekend I decided to do this self portrait of myself with the design inspired by the latest Chris Brown album cover for F.A.M.E. The trick was to edit the photo to look like it was a drawing and this was achieved by dodging highlights and burning shadows. In addition to this multiple layers were painted onto the photo to simulate different light sources and colour effects. The result?
