Composite a Modern Matte Portrait in Photoshop

I used Color Balance and Hue/Saturation to change its color:

Add another circle to another side of the model and use Hue/Saturation for it:

Step 24

Continue adding more the circles and match their color with the background using adjustment layers:

Step 25

I added one circle to the one of the model arms and blur its opacity using a layer mask:

Use Hue/Saturation for this layer:

Step 26

I used three circle designs to add to the head, shoulder and arm and changed their mode to Overlay 100%. Add a layer mask to each layer and erase the unwanted details:

Use Hue/Saturation to desaturate the color effect:

Step 27

Come back to Illustrator. Create a new document and use the Pen Tool to draw a random shape with black color, the troke 1 pt as shown below:

Go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform:

Go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Pucker & Bloat:

Click the same links, choose Zig Zag:

We have this result:

Resize it down to fit the document:

Save it as an EPS file.

Step 28

Open this file in Photoshop and rasterize it. Place this shape under one circle, also set this layer under the model one:

Step 29

Time for Illustrator again. Create a new document and draw two shapes as shown below (you can draw the first then duplicate it, transform):

Go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform:

Go to Effect > 3D > Revolved:

Apply Pucker & Bloat:

Go to Effect > Warp > Arc Upper:

Save it as an EPS file.

Step 30

Open this wireframe in Photoshop and rasterize it. Place it over the model head and change the mode to Overlay 100%:

Add a mask to this layer and clear any unecessary parts:

Step 31

Make a new layer on the top. Use the splatter brushes with the color #2f2f33 to paint on the flower on the head then use a soft black brush on its layer mask to blend it with the flower:

Continue using these brushes with the same color to add to the flower and the model arm. I changed the brush layer mode on the arm to Overlay 100%:

Step 32

Make several layers on the top and change the brush color to #413338. Paint them on and around the model, deer, circles. I changed the brush layers mode on the face and shoulder to Overlay 100%:
