Photoshop Tutorial: Silhouette Artwork

 After a loooong gap from my last photoshop tutorial, here it's back again!! And this time i'll teach u how to make a silhouette artwork!
So let's just get this thing started!
P.S : Pay attention to the red squares on the picture

Step 1: 
Open 3 layers ; A blank layer ( in here I named it the  “Area” layer) , The side picture of yourself, and A Patterned layer





Step 2: 
Click on The picture layer.
Here’s the tricky part, to make it much easier, make sure that the background is plain.
If it is, select the “MAGIC WAND TOOL” or “W” on the toolbars then click on the background. 



 Then “SELECT”--> “INVERSE”. Use the “MOVE TOOL” or “V” to click on the picture then drag it to the “Area Layer”.


 If the background isn’t plain, select the “POLYGONAL LASSO TOOL” or “L” on the toolbars, then cut the shape of ur face on by one until it connects to the first place u started. Then click on the picture then drag it to the “Area Layer”. But this will take more time and much harder. + u have to be ultra careful and be very detail.




 Step 3:
 Click “CREATE NEW FILL OR ADJUSTMENT LAYER” at the bottom right part.



  Then click “SOLID COLOR” --> choose black --> OK.




Step 4 :
 Click the triangle arrow on the right part ( on top of “OPACITY”) , then click “CREATE CLIPPING MASK” or just by simply typing “ALT+CTRL+G”. And voila it’s already a silhouette!





Step 5: 
Now I want to shape it up a bit using the “POLYGONAL LASSO TOOL” or “L” by shaping the parts that I want to delete. Once they’re all connected, click Delete. Make sure that the layer is on the picture.


 Now u’re done with the silhouette!! But perhaps u wanna customize it by adding colors,patterns or even frames!


 Step 6: 
Open a photo of a frame. U can get the frame by searching at Google by typing “Ornate Vintage Frame”.  Drag it to the Area Layer





Step 7:
 Make an Oval Shape with "ELIPSE TOOL" or "U" , and make sure that the size is exactly like the oval frame. 



 Also make sure that it is placed on top of the background (or behind the silhouette and the frame).


 Step 8: 

Click on the Patterned Layer then drag it to the Area Layer. Make sure that it is placed on top of the Oval Shape. Then click the triangle arrow on the right part --> “CREATE CLIPPING MASK” or “ALT+CTRL+G


 

AND NOW U’RE DONE!!



Go ahead and try it on ur own! GOODLUCK! :D
