Default Che Style Portrait

This is sort of a fun take on portrait photography.

From Portraits


Started from a blank canvas so there is no EXIF data.

From Portraits


Also no EXIF

Technique:
1. Gradient your background to taste
2. Add some grunge brushes to taste, leaving a nice center for your model
3. Place the subject image on a new layer
4. Resize subject to taste
5. Rasterize the layer
6. Mask out the rest of the subject image, leaving only the subject
7. Threshold the image to taste
8. Use the color range selection tool, select white
9. Delete the white to show the background
10. Flatten and save
11. Share your work here!
