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.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create a fantasy scene featuring a floating girl and flowers with faces. First, we'll build the base scene using a room and flower background images. After that, we'll add the model, flowers, and petals and blend them together using adjustment layers, masking, and brushes. Later, we'll import the different faces, paint lines and dots. We'll use many adjustment layers and some light textures to complete the final effect.

Step 1
Create a new 3408x2272 px document in Photoshop and fill it with white. Open the room image and isolate it from the background. Drag it into the white canvas using the Move Tool (V) and convert it to a Smart Object.

This looks like a great tutorial but on my Mac with Safari every image is small (approximately half the width it's supposed to be).
Sorry error on our website's end. It's fixed now :)
Thank you, Denny Tang, That was so kind to find a similar image to use for practice....:)
I love your detailed instructions, but do you have another source for the floating model where I don't have to open yet one more photo purchasing account just to practice a cool technique? It gets expensive after awhile!
Try using this image and rotating it 90 degrees:
