This is the new craze that has taken the internet by the storm. I wanted to see how this viral hit look could be achieved in photoshop. So here is my take on this viral case that is still mystery to me, hoax, joke, real, what?! This is just too odd to be true. Who ever did these would benefit bit of retouching help, so I will offer my upcoming Digital Artist Master Class to the person did these images for Free!

    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 ;-)
