Unreal Eye Effect

This tutorial is not necesarily about how to make your girlfriend’s eyes green :) , but it is about helping you get used to a couple of Photoshop’s menus and tools. Good luck!

Start by opening this picture using Adobe Photoshop:  real_eye.jpg

The first step is to desaturate the image, we want the result to be an unreal effect.

Next, we’ll set th contrast and brightness like in the images.

For the first effect, we will slightly distort the image using the “Glass” filter.

Use the variables in shown here:

Here comes the tricky part, where you have to use brushes, but don’t worry, it’s as simple as stealing candy from an old lady :) .
Now pay attention. You must use the “Burn” brush indicated in the image on the areas marked in red. Use it moderately, don’t exagerate.

Pick a colour you like more, and the select the “Brush Tool”, then set it to “Vivid Light”, opacity=30, size=100 and click inside the iris a couple of times, again do not exagerate.

Now, for a little bit of blur. Select the tool indicated and set it to size=200, mode=normal, strenght=50%, then apply it in the same manner inside the indicated area.

Well, that’s about it, the final image should look something like this:  unreal_eye_final.jpg

Let your imagination free and create other effects starting from the ones you already know.
