Wow! This is another one of those threads where each post is a tutorial in itself.
Mine is very simple. I just wanted to try out the new Xero filter, Caravaggio. I love all their filters.

layers adjustment-levels.
hand painted with acrylic brush.
Ran a copy of the original through illustration filter, turned it into a layer mask and painted eye detail, lip detail and other lines onto the acrylic image.

Not a difficult project...just a little time consuming.

Missed the first go around Peter, so thanks for doing some Time Traveling (just finished watching The Journeyman, so I had to put that pun in). Still on my blacklight chalk binge, so why not. Here's the complete high quality version. Attached is a lower quality crop.

Wonderful portrait!

I took the original into Illustrator for a live tracing. Did one live trace as a grayscale and another in color.

Brought both into Photoshop and set the grayscale to SoftLight above the color version at about 80% opacity. Used the color version as a history state to paint color back with a soft spattery brush. White layer below the history layer.

Tweaked the grayscale layer with a little dodge and burn.

Very nicely done, Peter. I've tried this on other pictures but didn't like the result. Could you please tell me how you achieved this look.

Lovely young lady! Hope I did her justice. This is a smudge type painting but left a little soft. Changed a little background and lit it a little.
