PS Tutorial: The beautiful woman turned into an old woman and turned the young man into an old man.
This tutorial describes how to make a character grow old. Before processing, you need to understand some of the physical changes after the aging of some people, such as the face of those parts will be deformed. Knowing this is not enough, and we need to find some pictures of older people that are roughly similar to the synthetic.
Original
Final effect
1. Choose a suitable picture when I choose to make an aging effect for a star image, I will try to choose a picture that has not been decorated because the original picture, will retain more facial details, so that you will be in the process of the correct choice of facial aging of the order, add PS after the true observability, Then the aging process will be a little easier.
2. The process of collecting information is a very important step, first of all, remember Katie's appearance and collect photos of older people with similar expressions on the Internet, and it may not be easy to find pictures of loved ones who want to be aging, but it will also be a great help to our production process, and I'll try to find a photo of Katie Mom on the Internet, This brings me a lot of useful information, for example, I decided to give her a double chin on the effect of Katie getting old.
3, now we begin to appreciate the magic of Photoshop, Wahaha ~ ~ ~
As we all know, the old man's hair will become sparse, the color will be dimmed, so we apply the "Clone Stamp Tool", the skin part of the selection eye week as a copy source, according to the resolution of the picture, select the size of the brush, the eyebrows and eyelashes part of the smear.
4, adjust the face
Below, I want to use "liquefaction tools" to create the basic face of the collapse (the horror drop of the collapse of ~ ~)
The main application of the Liquefaction tool is the cheek & jaw bone & mandible parts, please try to carefully repair, otherwise it will become more frightening, ha~
"On the nose part of the trimming" as people grow older, the skeleton stops growing and the cartilage continues to change.
We use the "forward deformation tool" to slightly lengthen the length of the nose, and then use the "expansion" tool to slightly increase the portion of the nose, not too much oh, otherwise it would not be like our star.
5. Add Double chin
This is a detail I found from Katie Mom's photo, so we're going to add a double chin to old Katie.
Method: Select the appropriate size of the brush, in the character's neck selection brush color, and then in Katie's neck as natural as possible to draw a double chin line the other thing to keep in mind is to use the photos of the old people we found earlier as a reference picture.
6, increase the wrinkles of the eye week
The author thinks, the eye week's trimming is the most crucial link, its good or bad determines this piece of work success or failure.
Please carefully observe the wrinkles in Katie's Eye week, with reference to the old man's photos, imagine the direction and depth differences that wrinkles should take, and then apply the Stamp tool and brush tool to increase their "length" and "depth", which requires some technical requirements, Wrinkles can also be extended to the forehead and cheeks, and the parts around the mouth are appropriately added to write wrinkles.
7. Reduce the LIP part
As you grow older, there are signs of contraction in the lip when you are in the old age. I added some vertical wrinkles to Katie's lip, but not too deep.
8, add more wrinkles, increase the sense of age
A new layer, where we use "brushes" to sketch the wrinkles, so that in the end we can easily sift through the wrinkles that can be retained and remove the imperfect wrinkles.
9. Trim the wrinkles added in the previous step
In the previous step, I chose to add wrinkles where the wrinkles were most needed, with the brush tool to increase the depth of the wrinkles that were added in the previous step, and to choose the lighter skin as the color of the brush.
10, increase the hair of the lip part
With a brush that is large enough to draw the details, a slight sketch of the hair on the lip, a little more in the corners of the mouth, but not too much color, we don't need to focus all our attention on the lips of the character.
11. Trim the neck
I think we all can see that now Katie's neck is too smooth for a 75-year-old, so we need to continue with the brush to add more wrinkles and erase the smooth traces. In addition, continue to increase the lower cheeks part of the wrinkle contrast.
12, to increase the age of traces
Create a new layer, set to "multiply" mode, opacity =30%, and then in the darker face of the color selection, now you can arbitrarily add the years you want to trace, not too exaggerated, as far as possible with the brush paint irregular shape, fast aging ah.
13. Further trimming of detail part
OK, after the modification of the steps above, take a break, and then in the back to the photo, you will find that there are many details can be further trimmed, add some wrinkles and collapse effect, this time if it is high pixel photos, it will achieve better results.
In addition, when people grow old, the teeth will turn yellow, and the gums will collapse, because there is no way out of the gums in our sample photo, so this step can not be done, the new layer is set to "multiply" mode, 30% opacity, with a brush to apply the teeth to the appropriate yellow.
14. Prepare for Hair Trimming
The final step is to turn Katie's beautiful black hair into gray silver. First, we add the mask to select only the hair part, and sketch out the details of the hair as much as possible with the brush.
15, after the exit mask (now the hair part of the selection range)
Create a new hue/saturation adjustment layer, set to (0, -63,0), and create a new brightness/contrast adjustment layer, set to (+9,-36).
16, this time, observe the picture, you will find the black part of the hair is too pale, we lost too much depth sense, so, enter the passage of the hair mask layer, choose the 5px brush 50% opacity, restore some hair black.
17. Trimming Hair
In this step we're going to make Katie's hair thinner, and in general, most people will lose hair in old age. A light color in the forehead section of the selection, using brushes to cover off some hair along the direction of the hair, to create the effect of scalp exposure.
18, in the previous step, we lost too much hair details, so now we want to use the appropriate size of the brush manually added, here I choose 80px size, painted silk silver.
19, the final dressing, comprehensive observation of the modified picture, the final details can be modified.
