1. Open the image and copy one layer. (It is very helpful to develop a good habit of copying the image as soon as it is opened.)

2. Hide the lower layer, and start folding the image. Enter the channel and press CTRL + mouse click on the RGB layer. A dotted line will appear. Return to the layer version and create a new layer (on top of the original layer).

3. Fill in white so that the skin becomes whiter, as mentioned in the previous tutorial.

4. After whitening, merge the two layers and go to Image/Adjustment/Decolorize. After completion, copy one layer, change the mode of the copied layer to Screen, merge the layers, and then copy, change the copied mode. Change to overlay and merge.

5. Remember that you copied the picture when you first opened it and then hidden it. Hide all other layers and only show the initially hidden one. Use the pen tool to pull out the clothes, copy and paste them on a new layer, and then adjust them. Adjust the computer's color balance, contrast saturation, etc. until you are satisfied.

8. Create a new layer and use a brush to paint the hair with the color you like. The opacity is about 60. Change the mode to Overlay. The same color is used for the face and mouth, but lower the opacity.

Create two new layers to draw the eyelashes on the left and right. Press F5 to bring up the brush. Select the brush as shown in the picture. Click on the pen tip shape to adjust the angle of the brush. When painting, enlarge the part of the eye. Draw according to the direction of eyelash growth, and then press CTRL+T to adjust the size of the eyelashes, then copy one of the left and right layers, and then move the copied one to two pixels to the left or right to enhance the thickness of the eyelashes, and finally merge all the eyelash layers and reduce the thickness of the eyelashes. Transparency so it looks more natural.

8. Save what you have done, format it as JPEG, and reopen it. This is what I did. I have too many free layers. Create a new layer, select a color similar to the one shown in the picture to fill it, and change the mode to Multiply. Then change it. Lower the transparency, save it and open it. This is to not affect the effect later. Set the image as shown (channel).

9. The same as before, but you don’t need to save it. I am used to doing this. Create a new layer, use the circular marquee tool to frame the subject you want to express, invert the selection at about 30-40 feathering, and fill it with black. Make it less transparent and call it a day.
