Turn any photo into a dot grid artwork with these Photoshop actions. You'll get great results with dots that change size. They get larger in brighter areas and smaller in darker areas. Free download available.
Step 36
Let's enchance lights on dark monk. Add new layer r (Layer > New > Layer ..., Shift + Ctrl + N or marked shortcut). Choose soft round brush, 1px size, #92e8e6 color. Draw light strokes on his clothes and on smoke. Use Blur tool if you need more gently effect.
Step 37
Place to your file "Background_61". Transform it as is shown. Change its blending mode to Screen.
Step 38
Mask "Background_61" with soft round brush as is shown. Click on white canvas next to layer thumbnail and use big, soft round brush.
Step 39
Add new adjustment layer with Hue/Saturation (Layer > New Adjustment layer > ... or marked shortcut). Click on created layer with right mouse button, then choose "Create clipping mask". It will change colors of this stock image to colors like are on magical swirl.

Let's light up swirl. Add new layer (Layer > New > Layer ..., Shift + Ctrl + N or marked shortcut). Use soft round brush, around 150px. Set #06aa99 color. Draw rounded stroke.
Step 42
Now you'll create more lights :). Add new layer (Layer > New > Layer ..., Shift + Ctrl + N or marked shortcut). Use soft round brush, around 150px. Set #0ab8a4 color. Decrease opacity of brush to around 50%. Draw rounded, smaller stroke.
Step 43

It's not necessary, but it will stylish your image to more cartoonish look. Add new layer (Layer > New > Layer ..., Shift + Ctrl + N or marked shortcut) and choose soft round brush. Set its size to 1px. Use #1ac7b6 color and draw outlines of image. You can use tip from step 36.
Step 45
I would like to do more visable shadows on characters on our image. Add new layer (Layer > New > Layer ..., Shift + Ctrl + N or marked shortcut). Use soft round, dark-gray (#3c3c3c) brush, around 20px, with 45% opacity. Draw shadows behind shield, next to the sword (on the clothes), below hair strands and on robe of monk. Just follow light source and everyghing will be okay.
Step 46
Now you should add more color to swirl. Add new layer (Layer > New > Layer ..., Shift + Ctrl + N or marked shortcut). Pick soft round brush, around 200 px. Draw with #6be0d2 (light blue) color on swirly thing.
