Hello Gotham... Joker is back!

Learn how to transform someone to THE JOKER!

Step 1

Open up a new image of a random person.

I'm not gonna do Heath Ledger since I don't like him. Instead I chose one hell of an actor, Jack Nicholson!

Step 2

Anyhow, what we need to do is make sure we got a good photo of someone. Preferably someone that is already smiling;

Step 3

Select roughly the skin of the person and go to the levels by pressing Ctrl+L and make sure you get the skin very light;

Step 4

Make a new layer and on that new layer, brush white over the skin-area. After that, set the blending-mode to Saturation;

Step 5

Erase the white parts where the eyes are;

Step 6

Use the Liquify-filter to move the edges of the mouth to the side and a little bit upwards;

Step 7

On a new layer brush some red and orange over the eyes and set the blending-mode to overlay;

Step 8

With a green brush, brush some green on the hair and set the blending-mode to Color or Overlay;

Step 9

Then use the Pen-Tool to draw a shape around the lips and fill that with red. Then lower the opacity a little;

Step 10

And there you have it.. Gotham's most feared criminal returns!
