Tutorial: Caricature Big Head

Adobe are running a competition (rather poorly in my opinion), where every week you get to enter a picture along a theme they’ve selected. This week is caricature week, so we decided to show you how to take a picture of an ugly man, and make him beautiful.
Along the way we reference the soft skin tutorial that you should now know well.

We’re going to start with the hideous picture of an old man (or is that ‘average picture of a hideous old man’?)

And make him more Elfin and, in the words of someone nameless, ‘special’.

Here’s the how-to video

And we promised on a loaf of stale bread that under no circumstances would we share this picture. So there, consider it not shared.
