Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 636 Turning a photo into a Chuck Close effect, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week we're going to turn a photographic image…into a Chuck Close effect.…I don't know if you know who this guy is,…Chuck Close, once again.…He's an absolutely legendary portrait artist.…What he does, typically, is he takes a photographic image…and he divides it into a bunch of rows and columns,…into a kind of grid; and he does this traditionally,…by the way, he does not work inside Photoshop;…and then he transfers that grid…to a giant canvas and then he paints,…inside each one of the cells, these patterns…that end up reconciling to form an image…that looks more than photographic.…
It's absolutely wild.…You should look him up if you don't know about him.…What we're going to do today is I'm going to show you…how to create a similar effect inside Photoshop.…We're going to take this photographic image right here,…this headshot, and we're going to combine it…with these 25 custom paint blobs…that I've created in advance for you,…in order to achieve this effect right here.…
