Friends, here the tutorial is of...
FOTOCARICATURA

We begin selecting a good picture, as for size and clarity. We select Penélope Cruz for the International Competition of Cartoon of karikamanÃa of Nelson Santos in Portugal.
1. - We open the picture in the desk. We duplicate the layer.
2. - To the second layer we apply the filter Noise (noise) in Drust&Scratches with radius (I radiate): 5 pix. and thresholdt (threshold): 4 levels. (you even)
We will have an image as if it was colored, disappearing the real of the picture.
3. - We apply the filter Liquify(licuar) with:
Brush size (size paintbrush): 10 at 49
Brush density density paintbrush): 18
Brush presure pressure paintbrush): 26
Here we have to remember our drawing knowledge and technical with the paintbrush, because we will play as if we were drawing or painting in the parts of the face that we want to characterize, to not deform neither to ridicule. To stand out the character so that it doesn't lose the main thing: their resemblance and their personality.
4. -They do the difference with the picture model and as the resemblance she/he stays.
5. - We continue working in the chin, jaw, cheekbones, accentuating and defining certain parts, detailing the minimum thing.
In a feminine cartoon importance should be given to the eyes and the lips, mainly. You can change the established values according to their comfort.
6. - We continue working in the size of the lips, since it is one of the characteristics that defines the model.
7. - I use the tool finger to soften the colors of the face in a percentage from a 15 to 20% of opacity.
8. - In this phase we use the tool Burn tool (subexponer) and we enter to draw with a very small paintbrush to stand out the details of eyes, brows and corner of the model's lips.
9. - We continue detailing the eyes and the lips with the tools dodge tool and burn tool.
We also use the tool blur tool (drop) to soften the mixtures and to fuse them.
10. - In this phase their cartoon should be this way or something similar.
11. - We compare with our model and we see that there is an enormous difference. It is no longer a picture, it seems an illustration and the resemblance stays. I believe that it is a well carried out work.
12. - We couple the image and we duplicate it again.
In this second layer we apply the filter gausian blur (desenfoque gausiano) with value of 50% and with opacity of the 20 to 25% and we put the layer in way multiply.
We couple the layers again. We have finished our cartoon and it is clever to send it to the competition.
I hope this tutorial serves so that they continue carrying out cartoons of who pleases them.
And remember...
...Si I can make it, you also.
A hug,
