1) The girl already looks like a doll, but this is not enough. In order to “adjust” facial features to more puppet ones, we need facial plastic surgery. In the menu at the top we find Filter "Filters" below Liqify "Plastic". Or we type the key combination Shift + Ctrl + X.

Select the Warp tool, about 30 pixels in size. Carefully deform parts of the face as shown in the photo. Taper the lips around the edges and stretch up and down a bit to create a bow shape. The eyes in the corners need to be made a little wider so that they look larger, and the nose on the sides is narrower. Just don't get carried away! Too small nose and eyes on the floor of the face are useless to us.

2) We have decided on the forms. Now it is necessary to transform the skin of our future chrysalis. I did not bother for a long time, and chose, in my opinion, the easiest way.
Duplicate our layer and in the Filters select “Blur” in it “Surface Blur” (Filter> Blur> Surface Blur) with approximately the same value as in the photo (11-15). And .. we see this result.

Everything would be fine, but some parts of the face look sloppy. To fix this, we need to take an eraser. Set the Opacity to 45% and erase the lips, nostrils, eyes and eyebrows. Also the girl's hair.
Here! Now what we need! We merge the layers because those fragments that we have erased will not be processed.

3) We did the simplest thing with you! But after blurring, the girl's face began to look flat. Highlights and shadows on the face need to be increased. It is desirable, of course, that you roughly represent the anatomical structure of a person’s face, in which case it will be easier for you.
There are many options for rendering shadows, but we will use rendering with a gray layer in the “soft light” mode.
Create a new layer and fill it with 50% gray. You can do this with the Shift + F5 key combination. In the window that appears, select 50% gray.

Set our layer to soft light and paint with the Dodge Tool and Burn Tool.
Lightening:
nose line
wings of the nose
eyelids
forehead
lips
cheekbones (cheeks)
chin
highlights in hair
neck
Darkening:
nostrils
brows
outer cheekbones
inner line of the mouth and nasolabial fold
whiskey

This is how our mask looks like in normal mode.

4) Now we are almost at the goal. It remains to correct the eyes and make them more expressive!
Everyone knows that dolls are distinguished by large thick eyelashes, while our doll has very small ones. You can use different ways eyelash extensions, draw by hand or with a pen. I suggest you an easier option ... to build up with brushes. You probably have a similar set of eyelashes, if not, you can download them here.
Create a new layer and choose the appropriate size and color for the lashes. It all depends on your preferences. If you are not satisfied with how the eyelash fits, then you can fix it by clicking
Ctrl + T. Press the right mouse button and in the window that appears, select the deformation and edit the cilia.

We have done the eyelashes, now we need to add more expressiveness to the eyes. I do this with the Dodge Tool and Burn Tool. I darken the eyebrows, giving them a shape, and edging the iris. It is desirable to lighten the iris itself.

I showed you the main points of creating a puppet effect. The rest is your imagination and preferences. You can add new elements in the form of a bow or necklace, play with color and shadows. I hope that this lesson will be useful for you.

Here's what happened:

In this tutorial, we will be converting a photo of a girl into a doll with a little Manga effect and skin softening to get the desired result.

final image

To get started, open the image of an Asian girl in Photoshop.

Our image is almost perfect, but we need to hide some flaws like piercings, etc. To do this, select the tool Spot Healing Brush Tool(J) (Spot Healing Brush) and click on the imperfections you want to hide.

Next, we will transform some parts of the face using a filter. Liquify(Plastic). To do this, go to the menu filter-Liquify(Filter - Plastic). We will be using two tools - Puckertool(S)(puckering) and Bloadtool(B) (Bloating).

Widen your eyes and contract your cheeks, nose and lips.

When done with the plastic, duplicate the layer ( Ctrl+J) and go to the menu Filter > Blur > Surface Blur ( Filter - Blur - Blur on the surface).

Then go to the menu Filter > Noise > Dust & Scratches ( Filter - Noise - Dust and scratches).

Now we need to hide the entire image and reveal only the skin. For this we will use layer mask ( layer mask). Go to menu Layer > Layer Mask > Hide All(Layer - Layer Mask - Hide All). The mask will completely hide the layer.

Choose white soft brush(Brush Tool) c Opacity(Opacity) 60% and flow(Push) 30% and start to reveal the skin over the layer mask. Lightly develop the hair.

Tip: if you want to see the mask, hold down the Alt key and click on the mask icon in the layers panel. Clicking on the layer thumbnail returns the visibility of the layer itself. IN this case- do not make a mistake with the choice between a mask and a layer. This error is confusing for some beginners.

Create a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N), select the tool brush tool(B) (Brush) with the same settings as in the step above and paint over the eyes as shown below. The brush color is #bebbd.

Open the 3D image - eyes, create an oval selection with Feather(Feather) 20 px and copy the selection to a new layer (Ctrl + J).

Then go to the menu Filter - Liquify(Filter - Plastic) and dilate the pupil with the tool Load Tool (B)(bloating).

Move the edited eye to work.

Create a new layer. Choose soft white brush(Brush Tool) (B) and draw two highlights as shown below.

brush tool(B) and using the set of suggested brushes paint the eyelashes as shown below. Distort them if necessary.

Repeat the same steps for the second eye.

Create another layer and fill it with 50% gray by pressing the keyboard shortcut Shift+F5.

Change the blend mode of this layer to overlay(Overlap).

Next moment - Dodge/Burn(Lighten / Darken) - is very important. And it should not be overlooked if you want to get a great result. Use these tools to draw highlights and shadows as shown below. Use a soft brush.

Create a new layer. Choose a tool brush tool(B) (Brush), Opacity (Opacity) 60% and flow(Push) 30%, color #eb7b83, paint blush and paint over the lips.

Probabilities Adobe Photoshop go far beyond retouching digital bitmaps, adding different results to them, etc. One of the types of processing of real pictures in this graphic editor is their stylization in a certain habit. So, in the photo, a person is allowed to make a puppet face, which looks extremely authentic in combination with the right background.

You will need

• – initial photo;
• – Adobe Photoshop.

Instruction

1. Open in Adobe Photoshop the initial photo containing the image of the face that you want to make a puppet. Convert the current layer from background to core. To do this, select Layer, New and “Layer From Background…” from the menu.

2. Copy the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose on separate layers. In order to select the desired fragment, use the Polygonal Lasso tool. At the same time, leave a small reserve with the image of the skin around the edges. Press Ctrl+J or select from the menu Layer, New and “Layer via Copy” to create a layer with a copy of the selection. Transfer each eye and eyebrow to a separate layer. Copy the nose, starting from a place located above the bridge of the nose.

3. Delete the eyebrows, mouth, and lower part of the nose in the initial image. Turn off the visibility of all layers except the original. Switch to it. Activate the Clone Stamp tool, choose a brush that is comfortable for work. Perform bold retouching. Refine the bumps with the Patch and Healing Brush tools.

4. Do doll eyes. Turn on the visibility of the layer with the image of one of the eyes and switch to it. Activate the scaling transform mode by choosing Edit, Transform and Scale from the menu. Click the Maintain aspect ratio button in the top bar, or press and hold the Shift key. Enlarge the image of the eye by 1.5-2 times. Apply the transformation by double-clicking in the center of the selection. Use the Move tool to correctly position the transformed image. Do the same with the second eye.

5. Switch to the mouth layer. Reduce it. Use the same scaling transformation. At the same time, however, it is allowed not to activate the mode of mechanical maintenance of proportions, by more powerfully stretching or squeezing the mouth vertically.

6. Process the image of the nose. After applying the scaling transformation, compress it 1.5-2 times, but only horizontally. Use the Move tool to position it correctly above the nose in the initial image.

7. Deform the eyebrows in the Distort or Warp modes, preferring the corresponding items in the Transform section of the Edit menu. Make them more thin and stretched up and to the side.

8. Align the deformed fragments on separate layers with the main face image. Activate the Eraser tool. Set its mode to Brush. Choose a brush of a comfortable size and type. Lower the Opacity to 20-30%. Switch between layers and erase the edges of the fragments so that they blend smoothly with the background. Merge the layers choosing Flatten Image from the Layer menu. Use the Blur and Healing Brush tools to refine skin roughness and acceptable image imperfections at the joints.

9. Save the bottom line. Press Ctrl+Shift+S. Select the appropriate format, enter the file name. Click Save.

I became curious about what the world of puppetry is like.
Factory-made dolls and dolls that are created fragmentarily or completely with your own hands are very different.
It's not even about the uniqueness of the work, but about the fact that a piece of the author's soul is invested in each of them.

AND now we will look a little into the world of creating a new image of dolls. A little, because there are simply no limits in this matter, and it is impossible to cover everything at once.
True fans of puppetry have translated their passion for puppets into the category of art, because it is connected and artistic skill, and the skill of modeling and tailoring, making accessories, the art of photography. Create stories and images, someone close to the real Everyday life, someone to fantasy.

So, let's begin...

First of all, the "old" face, as suggested in the comments rukella , washed off with acetone, and a new one is applied with acrylic paints.

In the pictures, the sequence of actions in the painting looks like this:

To create a more lively look, you need to designate the shadow of the moving upper eyelid, as shown in Figure 4, as well as outline the upper eyelid itself (with the exception of the Asian type of face, this skin fold is absent or is not pronounced).
At the end, add highlights, as in illustration 5, because. eyes are constantly moist and healthy shine will not hurt them. :)

And the following illustration demonstrates how to depict the doll's lips.

The essence is as follows: the main tone of the lips is set, then the place where the lips meet is drawn with a more saturated shade. After that, with the same shade, with a thin brush (0-2), the effect of folds on the lips is created with soft, rounded lines. And the final touch, if desired, is to add shine to the lips with a lighter paint by applying dots of different sizes along the lip line, along its most convex part.

What is important to remember when working with acrylic paints:

1. Paints dry quickly, so apply very little paint to the palette, and periodically "refresh" it with water. You can also use small jars (2 ml) of gouache, diluting the acrylic paint with water and tightly closing the lids between uses.

2. Acrylic paints are poorly erased, therefore, before you start painting on the faces of the dolls, you should practice a little on paper or some other "canvas", which is not a pity.

3. Wait for the previous layer of paint to dry, otherwise the paint may be distributed unevenly, in lumps.

A few examples of updated dolls and their "acrylic make-up" with varying degrees of realism.

Instruction

Open in Adobe Photoshop the original photo containing the image of the face you want to make a puppet. Convert current layer from background to foreground. To do this, select Layer, New and "Layer From Background..." from the menu.

Copy the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose on separate layers. To select the desired fragment, use the Polygonal Lasso tool. At the same time, leave a small margin with the image of the skin around the edges. Press Ctrl+J or select from the menu Layer, New and "Layer via Copy" to create a layer with a copy of the selection. Transfer each eye and eyebrow to a separate layer. Copy the nose, starting from a place located above the bridge of the nose.

Delete the eyebrows, mouth and bottom of the nose from the original image. Turn off the visibility of all layers except the original. Switch to it. Activate the Clone Stamp tool, choose a brush that is convenient for work. Perform rough retouching. Refine the bumps with the Patch and Healing Brush tools.

Make puppet eyes. Turn on the visibility of the layer with the image of one of the eyes and switch to it. Activate the scaling transform mode by selecting Edit, Transform and Scale from the menu. Click the Maintain aspect ratio button in the top bar, or press and hold the Shift key. Enlarge the image of the eye by 1.5-2 times. Apply the transformation by double-clicking in the center of the selection. Use the Move tool to precisely position the transformed image. Do the same with the second eye.

Switch to the mouth layer. Reduce it. Use the same scaling transformation. In this case, however, you can not activate the automatic maintenance of proportions by stretching or squeezing your mouth more vertically.

Process the image of the nose. After applying the scaling transformation, compress it 1.5-2 times, but only horizontally. Use the Move tool to position it exactly above the nose in the original image.

Deform the eyebrows in the Distort or Warp modes by selecting the appropriate items in the Transform section of the Edit menu. Make them thinner and stretch up and to the side.

Align the deformed fragments on separate layers with the main face image. Activate the Eraser tool. Set its mode to Brush. Choose a brush of a convenient size and type. Lower the Opacity to 20-30%. Switch between layers and erase the edges of the fragments so that they blend smoothly with the background. Merge the layers by selecting Flatten Image from the Layer menu. Use the Blur and Healing Brush tools to refine skin roughness and possible image defects at the joints.

Save the result. Press Ctrl+Shift+S. Select the appropriate format, enter the file name. Click "Save.
