Step 1: First of all, I choose the image that I'm going to edit, in this image I choose Annalyn Ecal, My friend's wife. Even though it's just a normal picture (bad quality pic), it really doesn't matter as long as the pose is good and also the structure of the face is presented well. Pixilated picture is not a problem, because I am going to paint over it anyway.
Step 2: I dragged and dropped the image to a new file which has a size of 2657 x 3636 pixels so that I have a nice resolution when I'm done painting it. I also saturated the image a little bit and applied Gaussian blur. (You can also use the surface blur) just to get rid of those noise due to the bad quality of the original image.
Step 3: Now it's time to paint things. I created a new layer and painted a similar hair with the original image. I always paint black as the base color for hair and I also created another new layer for the eyelashes and eyebrows, painting with the same technique as used for the hair.
Step 4: In this Step, I created a new layer and started to paint over her face, eyes (outline of her eyeballs), and I also added some shadows so that her face will fit in to the new hair that I just painted. I used the EYEDROPPER TOOL to get the color of her skin tones and blend it smoothly as much as possible.
