In this post, we will learn how to make your ordinary portraits look like some sci-fi characters when we will add drama and fantasy to them. We will paint the face of the girl, add some glitters and then adjust the whole scene's lighting to give it like a cinematic look.

So, let us now begin the creation process steps in brief. After the steps, I will also give the whole YouTube Tutorial link so you can learn all the techniques I used in it and create this artwork.


First, let me share the original stock images used in this effect.

Step 7. Erase the colors from the eyes and lips and reduce the saturation a little bit.
