We are going to make our own painting out of a portrait. You need a bit of drawing and painting skills, but most of the work is done by blending layers and the use of a few filters. Very detailed steps for beginners. Made with CS2.
With simple tools as Radial Gradient and Transform you can create very convincing and realistic shadows, highlights, etc. on a ball. If you dont get a satisfying final result, try tweeking the color/contrast/curves of the ball layer.
