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 2
Now select Brush Tool (B), hit D on keyboard to bring colors to default and set your foreground brush color to black. Make sure all your brush options are set to 100% and then paint in the same layer, over the light spots to fill them up with black.
Step 3
Now go to Select > Color Range and use the same settings as shown below. Press OK and then go to Layers Palette and turn off the visibility of the duplicated layer. Your screen should now look exactly like the second image below.
Step 4
Select "model" layer and click on the Layer Mask button. Now you can just delete the "model copy" layer, as we won't be using it anymore. We needed it only for extraction.

Bonjour W.P.
C'est vraiment très joli et je vous félicite !
J'essaye de traduire et je le fais, encore merci et si je me trompe, je peux regarder votre .psd, c'est gentil à vous !
A very smart approach to explain the things,like your step by step tutorial.
Step 7
Select the “model” layer and hit Ctrl+Alt+R (Refine Edge).
Output will create another layer with the settings below applied, so you can just basically delete or just turn off the previous layer. It’s up to you.
Step 9
Grab Brush Tool (B), set it all the way to 100%, but decrease the Spacing to 1% and check the Smoothing option. Again use black color for painting and go to Layer Mask of the “model” layer. Model layer???????????????????????????
In Step 7 you say delete previous layer (layer "model") because we have another layer ("model copy").
Step 10
You should achieve similar results to mine if you painted accurately. Now pay attention to the red line surrounding the model. It’s indicating how we’re going to shade her to make her body and clothes blend with the background better. So go to Layers Palette, create new layer above “model” and hit Ctrl+Alt+G, this will create a Clipping Mask (and it should look like you see in the preview below). Above "model" layer? Again???????????
Dude, WTF?????????
Great tutorial, i agree with everything that Rickard wrote.
Keep up the good work :)

Wojciech Pijecki (your name, yes?)
Thank you so much, a truly great work, and in my opinion just enough info to be able to do it yourself if you wanted to. I especially liked the chiffon-"trick" and the attention to detail in the little "planets" at the end.
Now for agnes b and photogabe above:
I really can't believe how inpolite you are being. From what I can see he only skips the most basic stuff. If you look at the first image (end result) you should be able to see that this tutorial will require some beforehand knowledge. To be fair, you are both somewhat constructive in your critisism, but there is really no excuse for that tone of voice.
stupid tutorial didnt show us how to do the smoke.
yes... it did... there is a next page button which i think you didn't see lol
uaua auauauauauusdhat ushdhauusgdhahdgiasdga gidai dgaid is like that the instruction.. your mind and our mind are different, you should be more thourough and use more commond words than intelectual ones, basic stuff in public communication are crutial.. like kindergarden languages... is better to detailed that too confusing..
totally awesome
