Hello!
Thank you for the Amazing Tutorial!
Here is the result I got!

I didnt include the lines. I thought that the lines wouldn’t go with the straight hair!
Hey there,
For some reason when I’m at the colour layer, the colours only come out as black. Do you know how I can solve this?
PS Your work is awesome, keep it up!
It would help me more if you could tell me at what minute in the video is that so that I can figure out what could it be.
Maybe you have the layer below the black & white adjustment layer. Make sure this adjustment layer is set as clipping mask (right click and choose “Create clipping mask”)
is amazing.. but why you not write the tutorial anymore.. juzt made video tutorial..
because it’s easier and I have very little time. Also, for certain artworks like this one for example I didn’t even want to make a tutorial, in the first place.
gracias por otro tutorial siempre aprendiendo mas !!!!
Amazing stuff and so easy to follow. I have learned so many neat tips watching your tutorials, keep it up.
Hello Andrei

Amazing web site I suddenly came across! Andrei, thank you sooooo much for sharing your knowledge. I’m going through every tutorial at your pages currently.
Heheh Thanx Genny. That’s always good to know.
It is an amazing tutorial, i must call you sir now. I made mine but it is not like yours but idea is yours, here is the line : http://gdjazib.deviantart.com/art/Inspiring-Portrait-300426143
Nice result. Thank you
finally figured it all out thanks for the tutorial after a few tries lol didnt use all the elements u did though no words or doves or that it turned out pretty good for a beginner of cs5 ill have to post it somewhere
awessome. You can post it on flickr, deviantart or other art communities. I didn’t mention the doves and other stuff on the original image because this started as a personal project and then I decided I will make a tutorial out of it. The dones and other stock used are commercial stock images. This s a simplified version
that was really amazing I want 2 trey it!!! thanks a lot
i follow from the begining just like your doing but when the masking part comes up doesnt do anything atall please help
Make sure you are painting with the BLACK color on the mask
ok by black color the color of the brush or mask im realy confused i would make a vid on what im doin an how far i get but dnt know how to video my own screen to post anyways whn u mask its lear so what do u mean by black
Hi Shane. You can watch the photoshop for beginners series. On this episode: http://www.psdbox.com/beginners-serie/photoshop-for-beginners-7-layer-masks/ I talk about layer masks so it can help you.
You can record your screen using free software like Jing or try camtasia studio. Just google “free recording screen software”
Another wonderful tutorial, thanks so much Andrei
