Adobe Photoshop Tutorials - Adding Some Textures to the Skin

Hi everyone! Today I am going to show you on how to add texture to the skin like the image below.

First, we need these materials for this tutorial:

Rock Surface

Image

For this material, you can search for alternatives in Google Images or in any search engines. So let’s start this tutorial by opening the image.

And then open the stone texture image.

After that, copy the whole image of the stone texture by using Rectangular Marquee Tool to select, then hit CTRL+C to copy.

Then paste it on our first image that we used. Resize the pasted stone texture image by holding Shift key and dragging like this one.

Reduce the opacity of the Stone texture image into 50% and let it fits the First image all over the face and also covered the neck.

Make sure you selected the Stone texture image layer then go to EDIT>>>TRANSFORM>>>WARP.

Let’s try to transform the Stone image just like below.

Then press Enter key. After that, change the opacity into 100% then change the layer from NORMAL to COLOR DODGE, see the image below.

Duplicate the Stone layer.

Then adjust the Opacity of the duplicated layer into 50% and change COLOR DODGE to OVERLAY.

The next step is to delete the unnecessary edge that covers the shoulder part, not in the neck part. Then do it to the other stone layer. Use the Eraser tool (E) for erasing and Zoom tool (Z) for zooming in and out. Here is a closer look of the image.

Duplicate our first image layer (the face one) and select the Burn tool or just press O. Burn the face by using the tool, just click and drag. Be careful; do not burn the clothing or the hair, just burn the face, like this one below.

After that, create a new layer above it; paint the eye with red by using the brush, and changing the Layer form NORMAL to LINEAR DODGE (ADD). It looks like this image below:

And we are done! You just some stuff you want to add in the canvas. I just put some sort of lights and other materials. Just play around with it. Thanks for visiting, hope it helps!
