Vampire Tutorial

Vampire Tutorial - Write Up

I edited this woman using Photoshop to make her look like a vampire. Firstly, I used the sponge tool in the tool palette to turn her skin colour a grey/white. I messed around with the tool, turning it to desaturated, and I also messed around with the flow, putting it to about 80%, to get the grey skin tone I wanted. For the lips and the eyes, I used the burn tool. I made sure to create a powerful burn effect I put the range on shadows and the exposure around 50%. This darkened the lips to a blood red shade and I also used it to darken the eyes and create shadows around them.

Next, I coloured her eyes to a dark green/black. To do this, I used the Magnetic Lasso Tool. I selected the eye, added a new adjustment layer, then clicked hue/saturation, which allowed me to darken and change the eye colour to a dark green. To create the vampire teeth, I did the same as I did to edit the eye, but instead of using the magnetic lasso tool to colour them, I clicked the warp button and dragged the teeth down to make the fang shape.

Lastly, I added the blood splatters to the woman's face. By using http://www.brusheezy.com, I found a brush which made blood effects and then downloaded a couple into a Brushes folder in my network space. Secondly, I extracted the file, copied it into the brushes folder, then clicked on the brush tool and loaded the brushes. I finished by adding the blood splatters to the woman's skin and teeth and by darkening the woman's hair to black with the burn tool.
