Step
1 – Change the Hair Shape
Go
to stockvault.net
and
download this
photo.
It
is a really big photo so you will have to resize it.
Now
duplicate this layer so we can have both photos, before and after.
I
will start with the hair….Go to Filter - Liquify and with the
Forward Warp Tool make the hair bigger . Play with size and pressure
to get a similar result:
Step
2 –Make the Hair Whitter
An
old person has white hair so take the Dodge Tool and with the
following settings gently dodge the hair.
Do
the same for the Highlights
Now
we will make whitter hair wires with a small size Dodge Tool.
Because
this is not a video tutorial you will have to relay on your
intuition. The result should be similar to this:
Step
3 – Change Face Features with Liquify
Now
let’s concentrate on the skin parts: face , neck, arms. I
intend not only to add some age to the face but to add some kilograms
also. So we will work with liquify again.
Go
to Filter – Liquify – Forward Warp Tool ; at the face
level we will deal with cheeks , chin, eyes, mouth , nose, eyebrows.
In
the picture below I marked with red the areas that will be
photoshoped.
fat
face
bigger
nose
thin
old mouth
mouth
wrinkles
forehead
wrinkles
At
the same time I will make the neck fat and the arm…you will
have to figure it out from the photo attached.
Step
4 – Add Wrinkles
Now
with the Burn Tool make visible all the wrinkles that you see on the
face…brush 8px and exposure 5%. You will have to change the
brush to 3-4 px for more detailed wrinkles.
A
good way to emphasize wrinkles is to burn an already existing line of
the face and than easily dodge the area near to that line…look
for example at the wrinkles between the eyebrows .
Step
5 – Age the Eyes
An
old person has eye problems so with the Dodge Tool and Blur Tool make
the eyes look not very healthy.
Step
6 – Age the Skin
Add
a new layer and call it OldSkin.
With the Brush tool color cb8778 , brush : 7 , 4 and 5 make little
spots on the skin. Use the Eyedropper Tool to get a color similar to
the skin tone.
Also
in this layer add a pale tone to the mouth….color d0a58a
opacity 100% and blur a little…this color should cover the
mouth area…
Now
leave the Blending mode : Normal and Opacity of this layer 45 %.
You
can of course play with those effects and add more wrinkles and make
the person much older but I will stop here; this is my final result:
