1. Select the appropriate picture. When you want to create an aging effect for a painting by Zhang Mingxing, you will try to choose an unadorned painting. Because this original image will retain more facial details, you will correctly choose the sequence position of the aging face during the operation, and PS will be really obvious, so the aging process will be easier accordingly.

2. The process of collecting information is an important step. Remember the appearance first and then collect photos of old people with similar expressions online. Photos of relatives of celebrities who want to get old may not be easy to find, but they will also bring great help to the production process, such as deciding to add a double chin to achieve the effect of getting old.

As we all know, the hair of the elderly will become sparse and the color will become gray and light. Therefore, the imitation stamp tool is applied here, and the skin around the selected eyes is used as the copy source. According to the resolution of the picture, choose a snack-sized brush and apply it to the eyebrows and eyelashes.

4. Adjust the underside of the face. Liquefaction tools should be used to make the face basically collapse. The main part of liquefaction tool application is cheek-jaw&? Mandible? Please try to trim it carefully. With the increase of age, bones will stop growing and cartilage will change constantly. Use the Forward Deform tool to slightly lengthen the length of the nose, and then use the Expand tool to slightly enlarge the nose. 、

Step 5 add a double chin

Methods: Choose a brush of appropriate size, paint the color on the neck of the character, and then draw the lines of double chin as naturally as possible on the neck. In addition, it should be remembered that the photos of the old people found before should always be used as reference pictures for pruning.

6, increase wrinkles around the eyes

The trimming around the eyes is the most critical link, and its quality determines the success or failure of this work.

Please carefully observe the wrinkles around your eyes, refer to the photos of the old man found before, imagine the difference in the direction and depth of wrinkles, and then combine the stamp tool with the brush tool to increase their length and depth. There are some technical requirements. Wrinkles can extend to the forehead and cheeks, and wrinkles can be appropriately added around the corners of the mouth.

7. Cut your lips.

With the increase of age, when people enter old age, their lips will show signs of contraction. Add some vertical wrinkles to your lips, but not too deep.

8. Add a few more wrinkles to increase the sense of age.

Create a new layer, and outline the folds with a brush here, so that it is easier to filter out the folds at the end and delete the imperfect folds.

9. Trim the wrinkles added in the previous step

In the previous step, add wrinkles where wrinkles are most needed, use the brush tool to increase the depth of wrinkles added in the previous step, and choose light skin color as the brush color.

10, increase hair on lips.

Use a brush big enough to draw details, sketch the hair on the lips a little, and add more to the corners of the mouth, but the color should not be too heavy. It is unnecessary to focus everyone's attention on the lips of the characters.

1 1, trim the neck.

I think everyone can see that for a 75-year-old man, his neck is too smooth, so he needs to continue to add more wrinkles and erase the smooth traces with a brush. In addition, continue to increase the contrast of lower cheek wrinkles.

12, increase the trace of age.

Create a new layer, set it to positive overlay mode, opacity =30%, and then choose a color in the darker part of the face. Now you can add any traces of the years you want, just don't exaggerate, try to draw irregular shapes with drawing strokes and grow old quickly.

13. Further modification of details

There are many details that can be further trimmed to add some wrinkles and collapse effects. At this time, if it is a photo with high pixels, the effect will be better.

In addition, when people get old, their teeth will turn yellow and their gums will collapse a little. This step can be omitted because there is no chewing gum outside the sample photo. Set the new layer to positive overlay mode, the transparency is 30%, and paint the teeth with a brush to be yellow.

14, ready to trim hair.

The last step is to turn beautiful black hair into gray silver hair. First, add a mask to select only the hair part, and try to outline the details of the hair with a brush.

15. After exiting the mask (now the hair part is within the selected area), create a new hue/saturation adjustment layer and set it to (0, -63, 0); Create a new brightness/contrast adjustment layer and set it to (+9, -36).

16. When you look at the picture at this time, you will find that the black part of the hair is too pale and loses too much depth. Therefore, for the hair mask layer entering the channel, choose a 5px brush with 50% opacity to restore some black hair.

17, this step should make the hair thinner. Generally speaking, most people will lose their hair when they get old. The light color of the forehead in the selected area is used to cover a part of the hair along the hair direction, creating the effect of scalp exposure.

18. In the last step, I lost too many details of my hair, so now I have to add them manually with a brush of the right size. Here I choose the size of 80px to draw a silver hair.

19, finally finishing, comprehensively observing the modified pictures, and finally the details can be modified.
