In this photoshop tutorial i will try to create a beautifull doll from a real girl. First i want to say that i am not a professional and that this tutorial can be made by almost everyone.

Lets begin!
My inspiration image was this:

Blonde girl

And the final result

doll-copy
Because the image was too small i ‘ve scale it ; almost double the size.
I’ve started with the eyes…we all know that a doll has beautifull big eyes.
We have to lift the eyebrows…select them and move them with Move tool a little higher. Now select one eye at a time and scale it until u obtain something like this
big-eyes

Go to Filter - Liquify.. from the left toolbar choose Forward warp tool and ajust the shape of the eye until you obtain the shape that you like…I’ve used Brush Size 37, Brush density 9 and Brush Pressure 31.

Now select the nose and scale it to a little size to look like a doll nose
Select the mouth and scale the width to obtain a small mouth.
Pick Liquify tool again and reshape the face of the doll. Play with size of the brush to make a better reshape.

We have now a face with a lot of cuts but dont worry we will fix it. Pick the Clone Stamp Tool(S) from the left toolbar and start cloneing parts of the skin in the white areas….you have to be very patient to obtain a good result.

Choose Spot Healing Brush Tool (J) and fix the skin…easy heal all the areas that you cloned and than pick Blur Tool(R) Strenght 50 % to make a soft skin…be careful to blur only the skin(not the eyes,mouth), be careful when you blur the nose …the shape of the nose must be visible

Blur skin

As you can see a part of the face is blured and one not….After you will finish with the skin than you will have to Liquify the mouth once more to obtain a better shape with more defined lips and cover the teeth; than with blur tool soften the skin of the mouth.

Stay tuned for the second part of this tutorial!
