What you'll learn

In this Photoshop tutorial, we'll be learning some techniques on how to add age to the appearance of a person's face by using various textures combined with digital painting, cloning, and the use of Photoshop's Liquify feature. We'll begin by using liquify to reshape some key facial features followed by several lessons where we'll incorporate textures from various images to achieve believable wrinkles and skin pores. We'll wrap up by learning how to thin out and add some gray to the hair along with some age spots as well. This is a great course if you are a concept artist working on a movie where you want to visualize what an actor might look like at a different age. After watching this Photoshop training you'll have a strong understanding of the process and techniques used to create a photo-manipulation of someone who appears much older. Software required: Photoshop CC 2014.
