Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 638 Imbuing your Chuck Close effect with color, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now last week, as you may recall,…I showed you how to take a headshot,…and turn it into a kind of Chuck Close effect…inside Photoshop.…In which we've divided the image into a grid…of rows and columns,…and then each one of the cells…is filled with a kind of custom paint splotch…that merges with its neighbors…to form the composite image.…Well, so far we have a pretty low-color effect.…Which means that everyone of those splotches…looks a lot like the ones around it.…
What we want to do is infuse the image with color,…so that each one of the cells…has a different unique appearance.…So notice here that we've got so much color going on.…These blues transitioning into these oranges and yellow.…We've got some greens and reds over here.…All of this is happening inside Photoshop by the way.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…Alright, just so you have a sense…for what's happening on screen,…here are our relatively drab paint splotches so far.…
And here are the more colorful ones,…
