Choose a picture of you and paste it to your working layer.

First,trace the shape of your face by using pentool.Make sure you make another layer before you trace or after you trace the object.
Just hold ctrl + shift +N and you will have a new layer.

Adjust the opacity for you to see the details of your face. Opacity is often used in graphics software to define how "nontransparent" the object is.Graphics editors provide an Opacity slider that you can use to adjust the opacity of an image layer.

Continue tracing...make sure make a new layer.
Now we traced the polo shirt make sure tracing the crumpled part of the shirt to add effect to your portait. Add different colors to see the variation.
I started to trace also the face and also the small details of it.I saw it clearly because I adjust the opacity of the shape of my face.

I trace the other details of my face.
Remember we use pen tool for this.
Pen tool is one of the few tools available to you in Photoshop that works with Vector Graphics as opposed to Raster Graphics. Vector Graphics use mathematical statements and points in order to define their shape and other characteristics, and therefore are very scalable.

Continue tracing... The eyebrows,eyes,ears and others.

Blind the eye of your face layer to see if you miss or the color is not appropriate to your face.

Blind and unblind the eye is used to hide layer.

@ovyhossain Man it'd be awesome if you could get in touch with this dude again and see how he's doing. I'd love to see a follow up video. I really hope he's doing well. You can tell by his stone cold gaze that he's seen some horrific shit. In spite of all the trauma, he still has a very open mind and his heart is definitely in the right place.

Thank you my friend! Yeah just follow me ill post some video tutorials soon.😊

@bryanlornemez Hi mate, I have a question here. Is it possible, if I use GIMP and create the same effect as PS did?
