Colorful Portrait Design with Photoshop

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this Domestika course. I hope you've enjoyed walking through my creative process. By using the ideas and guidance I have given you throughout this course, you’re now free to go ahead with your own composition. This could mean finishing the image you started while completing the course tasks or you could begin a brand new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique piece of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell me if you have any doubts. This will help me understand your creative process and guide you better if you need advice. Let’s revisit the necessary steps to complete your project. Open up Photoshop and make a new document (if your end goal is printing, make sure its 300 dpi). Research for images and choose the portrait you want to work on.

Using the tools and techniques I showed you, crop the image of the person out of the background. Begin adding elements, color and design around and on the portrait. Remember to pay attention to the facial structures and work from that. Clean things up and start working on getting a cohesive color scheme and composition. Then, save and print/share your work. I can’t wait to see the project you will come up with, so don’t forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". I‘ll be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I'll try getting back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community! See you there. ”
