[align=center]I am going to try to explain how to make eyes look more [i]creepy[/i], And remember this is coming from a [u]begginer[/u], so bare with me guys . I used [b]Photoshop CS2[/b] for this tut. You need an [u]eye[/u] to work on , or you can just grab this one . [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/416143_copy_627200712609AM_111112.jpg[/img] First you need to [i]duplicate the layer[/i] so that you can toggle back and forth later , ([i]before and after[/i]) . to do this go to your "[b]layer/channels/paths[/b]" window, right click the word background and chose "duplicate layer" . [b]Okay, Let's get started ! [/b] Then select the [b]burn tool[/b] and set it's range to [b]midtones[/b] and exposer to [b]35%[/b] then burn all around the edges of the [i]iris[/i], till it's almost black but not quite black, then increase the size of the brush and burn the [i]pupil[/i] (the black part of the eye) . [b]It would resemble like this now . [/b] [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/2-2.jpg[/img] Then use the burn tool around the whole eye (right on the eyelash line) and apply it like eyeshadow till it starts to look heavy and dark, like this, [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/3-2.jpg[/img] [b]The color layer [/b] Now create a new layer to do this, Go to Layer, New , New Layer . [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/4-1.jpg[/img] and set the blending mode to color (to do this you make sure that the new layer is active or highlighted blue, and at the top of the layers channel you'll see a box with an arrow pointing down and inside the box it will read "[b]normal[/b]" click on it and a list of options will come up, change "[b]normal[/b]" to "[b]color[/b]" click it, and set the opacity to [u]75[/u] . Now get a nice bright color , now click the paintbrush tool make the mode of brush normal and set the opacity of it (the brush) to 100 and the flow to [u]100[/u] and choose a brush size so that it fits inbetweeen the iris and the pupil (and keep all the sizes of the brush to a rather soft edge) and paint inside of it (I chose an orange/yellowish color). [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/6-1.jpg[/img] Now click on to your "[b]background copy[/b]" layer again and select your [b]dodge tool[/b], [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/7-2.jpg[/img] again and go right around the edge of the pupil (with a [i]very small [/i]brush) a few times. To get this, [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/8.jpg[/img] Then [u]increase[/u] the brush size and go all around and inbetween the [b]iris[/b] and [b]pupil[/b] where you colored. [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/9.jpg[/img] With the "[b]background copy[/b]" layer still active, go to "[b]filter-render-lighting effects[/b]" , and click it, [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/10-3.jpg[/img] you'll see a diagram of your eye, now make the light come from the top of your eye, now for the rest of the diagram , you'll see two boxes to the right , pick the top one and change the color to a dark/pale looking color(I chose a [b]dull orange[/b]) and hit ok. This is the reaction, [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/416143_lightingtheeyetut.jpg[/img] Now your [u]eye[/u] should look [i]pretty creepy[/i] about now, but if it looks to colorful you can try this: with your background copy layer still active go to "[b]create new fill or adjustment layer[/b]" Its located at the bottom of the [u]layers pallete[/u] , click it and go to [b]hue/saturation[/b] and click that,now go to the saturate and [i]decrease[/i] it till you have a more likable product and hit ok. [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/11-2.jpg[/img] [b]You should have something like this now. [/b] [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/12-5.jpg[/img] Now go to your color layer and make it active (highlighted blue), with it active hover your hand/arrow over the square (the little picture of your color layer) and hold the control button down and click it (you'll see in the main picture (the big one) that the color you have painted in is now selected with the little ants (the little moving things that make you know that you have selected something), [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/13-1.jpg[/img] now as before click on "[b]create new fill or adjustment layer[/b]" then click on the [b]brightness/contrast[/b] one, [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/14-2.jpg[/img] [b]increase[/b] the [u]contrast [/u]some and [b]decrease[/b] the [u]brightness[/u] some till you get something you like and click ok . . [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/15-1.jpg[/img] [b]And there you have it , an evil eye . *evil laugh*! [/b] [img]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/chearth/16-1.jpg[/img] Hope this tutorial helps . This tutorial is aimed at the [b]beginner[/b] (like [i]myself[/i]) . I hope you can understand my tut . [/align]
