Photoshop Tutorial: How to Transform Yourself into a Marble, Sculpture Bust!

[@kt-tv3889]

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

You're very welcome!

[@altok8815]

Watched it again 😊, great work, great thanks

[@Princeofaudio]

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

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

One can lighten skin tones with the Dodge Tool in the Shadow and Midtones mode.

[@Princeofaudio]

it worked thank you

[@DickvanderVelde]

Cliff Po Not sure (or tried it) bu tperhaps it would work if you invert the picture in case of dark-toned skin to make it light?

[@noobblet1996]

solution : don't be black

[@estrev1432]

Dick van der Velde meh.. that’s not gonna work out well. Than the shadows are the highlights and the highlights are the shadows...

[@tutubopeter]

[@googeewoogeetrybe5025]

[@ccuny1]

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.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

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.

[@crihala]

Very useful! Respect!

[@markolinobar]

nice work

[@TheKanamesama]

Could you show us how to do this without a blank bust? Because I think for some of us it would e helpful

[@talaranreinnyzhelv.2595]

Thanks Mr.Marty From Philippines!

this is awesome!

[@Floglo]

Loved it! Awesome

[@xavitenor]

Flo I like your picture

[@GeorginaEllmann]

thanks for your tutorials I always learn a lot They are simple and explicit Thanks again

[@destroyerbardak]

Amazing

[@trex5724]

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?

[@CM-zk3cu]

same here!

[@kiefi8467]

Same here ...

[@toms5402]

Same here

[@victorjohnson2nd]

@Sci-Fi Machines great tip, that helped me a lot! I also turned the strength down too.

[@donnievanwie5143]

Are there other marble bust to download, and or, is their a site to go to to purchase some? Thank you for your wonderful demonstration.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

For your convenience, I created male and female marble busts sans faces. I don't think any exist other than mine on the internet or elsewhere.

[@vijaypundkar2792]

very nice

[@thereturningshadow]

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?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

If the subject has dark hair, it should lightened as much as possible. Experiment with curves, the dodge tool, Levels and blend modes.

[@chosenideahandle]

Holy smokes, that's some coat that dude has on.

[@DjClimamusic]

Excellent! thanks Marty

[@Panafico]

Hi, congratulation for your tuturial, can you tel me if on photoshop you can create an effect like "melting paint" as on corel drawn tank you larry

[@OORVOKKI]

thank you,Marin ,,very good...

[@IlyaAndreev-1]

GREAT!!!!

[@guidorussoheck2100]

Amazing. Im gonna try it.

[@wildeyestudios5]

hey amazing tutorial, many thanks, and what about if there is a beard? should I mask it out?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

I would use a layer mask of it and use Curves to lighten it. You could also try inverting the beard and blend it.

[@wildeyestudios5]

Blue Lightning TV is there any way I can send you my final result? maybe you can give me some tips on how to improve it, i managed to solve the beard issue by smudging it all and then dodging it to make it brighter, but the face looks like dirty, couldn't use the smudge tool properly

[@limeffsss]

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🙏

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

I haven't used Illustrator in over 10 years, so I pretty much forgot how to use it. Sorry.

[@blackimangel]

Niiiiice!!!

[@quadmproductions6734]

Such a great video and channel! I have one question. Is it possible to do this if the male has a dark beard?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

You would lighten the dark beard with the Dodge Tool in Midtones and Shadows, as well as using adjustment layers (i.e.: Curves, Levels, Brightness/Contrast, Exposure).

[@clowns8421]

very cool
