How to retouch cartoonish viral hit style images
I started with this image
Firstly, I took a dark brush and defined eyes, nose, and mouth by drawing them in on a new layer over the original photo
Then I smoothed out the subject’s skin
This is how it should look once you do that
Next step – coloring in the eyes and mouth
This is how it should look like

adding in a bit of artist psychology to this! when people are first starting out with art, they typically outline the eyes and hyperfocus on the teeth, its an interesting phenomenon that I've been watching, and its extremely evident in how these were photoshopped. you can see it in highschooler's art, bad tattoos, and countless amateur art. I do believe this is one of ways that our brains break down faces to easily understand them and keep them catalogued in the mind.
I think the best bit of this is that he has offered the original "artist" some free lessons to fill in what she wasn't taught by her original teacher. Now that's the kind of niceness we want here on BP ;-)
uh, what? Are you saying it WAS or are you asking because of this post? This post isn't saying that it was....you do realize that right? You're all good in that case. Fill me in here.
