not to sound akward but this doesnt work for a black persons face ive tried mine and other people of color faces and it only works with people of lighter skin tones if you will good tutorial none the less
you have the best Photoshop tutorial on youtube. every little detail. you are great teacher. thank you. one question when i open filter gallery > plastic wrap.. my picture get all blurred? even i change the " highlight strength ", detail and smoothness also? any suggestion?
Hi Marty, I know this is over 3 years old, but here is a question that may help others too. In this tutorial, when you desaturate the photo and mask the face onto the bust, the tones of the face and the bust are very close. In other instances, my attempt included, the tones are markedly different. I find that no amount of dodging works: I end up with a face that loses definition to get the right tonal balance. So my question is; whet kind of work can I do just after desaturating the face to equalise the tones and contrast to that I get the kind of match you have in your tutorial? I suspect I need to start with a curve:level adjustment to get the same tonal range, but that is not enough to get a perfect match. I would appreciate your or your viewers' suggestions. Thank you for another great tut.
Sometimes, to match tonal ranges, it requires a combination of using many filters (i.e.: Curves, Levels, Brightness / Contrast, Exposure) and many Blend Modes at various opacities.
Marty, you are very good, congratulations on your talent, your videos are amazing .., .. Thanks. Google Translate Marty, você é muito bom..parabéns pelo seu talento..seus vídeos são incríveis..Obrigado.
Awesome as always but my question is, what if you want to include the hair of the person's portrait to cover over the sculpture's hair and want to make it look like marble as well? Would the same technique you used on the face work with the hair also?
After you desaturate the photo, you can either use your Dodge Tool in the "Shadow" or "Midtones" range to brighten the skin or use the "Curves" adjustment layer.
i really loved this tutorial been trying to figure out how to do this for a while. Is there a way to change the hair, like mine is tied up, or if possible make an afro lol?
I'd guess the best way to do that would be to select the hair, and then lighten the image so it is closer to the color of the marble. Then smudge it so that there is less texture. Might need to even add some contrast after lightening it just to make sure the overall detail remains intact. Let me know if you try!
Starting around 7:50 why did you need to select the alpha channel, make a copy, and then add another layer beneath it all in black? I was able to add the same plastic filter on just the snapshot layer without the extra steps and the result was the same. Am I missing something going on behind the scenes? Thanks!
Your result was not the same. When the plastic wrap filter is applied directly to the composite snapshot, the effect is also applied to the black that surrounds the bust.
I am unable to download the picture in the description. this is the case with many of your videos with links in the description that go to that website. For some reason, it is blocked at my school. Is there another way to get the pictures, like from a different source or website?
Many schools block links for security reasons. The links to the images are included in my videos on Skillshare. Go to: www.skillshare.com/search?query=marty+geller
I'm using an old version of PS so this tutorial was great for me. Your tutorial was one of the best on any subject that I've ever seen. Talking at a moderate pace and then zooming in to show the exact tool along with showing hotkeys is awesome. Thanks a million. KT
Marty, the smudge tool will not do as you show. Instead it kinda 'pull's paint rather than blends. I also use a Cintiq and have set it to pressure sensitivity bit I just can't get that natural blend like you show. Is there a specific setting etc?
Hi guys!!! I luv designing but I am facing problem in working with Adobe illustrator 2021...I am only 2 days old with this software...though I have discovered many tools such as layers etc. But I am a bit scared when it comes to colouring my illustration...it's very difficult to colour the objects.. unlike simple PAINT, I need to make objects without clicking the mouse twice,thrice or more, I.e I have to make an object,otherwise I am not able to select the whole area...though it's ok but it is very tough for me to do it with mouse...it would be very helpful if u guys can suggest any tools to make it work right🙏
I thought I was fairly good at Photoshop before I saw your tutorials. Now, I’ve learned I’ve developed some exceptionally bad habits for achieving poor results. No wonder this program cost and arm and a leg? Fortunately, I copied, pasted and Saved-As both ... and thanks to photoshop, I no longer have two left thumbs. ;-)
Don't know if there are ethnic busts on the web, however, you can alter the ones I provided with the help of some adjustment layers such as Curves, Brightness & Contrast, Invert, etc..
do you have any open source psd files with the layers created to your designs? as you can do some cool stuff. would be nice to share your psd's so everyone can havephone editing theres.?
