Description
ENGLISH VERSION FULLY REDONE. FRENCH VERSION COMING SOONJust for the record, this tutorial has already been online for two years.
Updated version now includes :
- tips about blending,
- a detailed schema about facial proportions,
- screenshots of the tools used and tips about these tools
- I fixed some typos.
About blending : NO, there's no specific tool used, I just used the paintbrush as mentionned clearly in the tutorial.
Pretty please guys, READ the tutorial before asking.
I've already received 4 notes about blending yesterday some seconds right after I reposed the tutorial, I know that part was somehow missing in the previous tutorial since I had not explained it in a very detailed way with painted examples (I thought that was clear enough but it apparently wasn't) but it's now fully explained.
Thank you!
I won't reply to any question about things already explained here unless someone has got real trouble figuring them out as I've got way too many other things to do so please read the tut carefully

TECHNICAL STUFF I've used Photoshop CS3 to paint this, you can download a free trial version on Adobe's website if you don't have it yet! Older versions will work too of course. I'm not sure you can find the Liquify tool in versions older than Photoshop CS though....
Original painting resolution : 9000 x 6714px, 300 dpi. No need to paint such a big image though... I just wanted to be able to print it on a very large size

You may translate it to share it if you want but PLEASE don't change it adding or removing things. Translation must be as accurate as possible to avoid things being hard to understand for the reader. THANK YOU

One of my favourites tutorials, thanks for sharing it..

I really enjoyed watching the video's for this artwork. I really learnt a lot and using the liquify tool is ingenious. I don't know why I never thought of using it this way before so I MUST try this next time I paint something. I've seen this artwork before but I never found you on DA and I'm really glad I have. I think I can learn from these video tutorials to improve my own workflow and blending. Thank you so much for making the effort to make these video's and sharing it with the community!

Please tell me the name of the brush that you used, the wispy sort of fading one, I can't find it anywhere and I need it. I have an early version of photoshop, and it's not there. I need that brush D':

It's nice, but I have one small problem. I'm sorry but when I have tired eyes, the text is a little difficult to read with it being red on black. Is there no way to make it so the text is easier to read please?
