Photoshop Tutorial : How to convert a photo into a Humanoid - Part1

Hey Guys
 you heard of a robot ?! , of course you did
  but what about a humanoid ???
  well , I hope you did And if you didnt then search for it

I really recommend browsing "How to make a splashed milk Typography "

But before you do, here are some results , its very great tutorial 

                                                       

 But before I begin ,this is part 1 just to show you how it starts , just the basic lines
 next I will ilustrate how to be expert on making a humanoid 

 so Here are the step s

1. add guide lines to the object
2. make the lines straight enough to work with 
3. adding depth of field to represent the breaks
4. finalizing 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1 :

open the shape you wanna work with 

then grab the brush with low diameter and 50 % Opacity

then make lines so as to make the groove look like generally. 

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2 :

With pen tool you will need to make lines more straight , more accurate 

and in the suitable places so , lower your brush size a little so as to make it suitable like the pics. 

then with 100 % opacity draw the lines , the grooves you like
as the pic shows.

Now remember to make step 1 in a layer and step 2 with another layer

so we will now hide the first layer 

and.... do you see that circle in his chest ??.. you can draw one be choosing shape tool
you can draw circles where ever there could be a joint or in the place that suits you 

But here I didnt make it there cause it is still  advanced

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3 :

Now hide the layer that represent the guid lines and select the original man photo then ....

from Filter >> Blur >> Surface blur 

Make sure the value of each Radius and threshold are approximatly equal and small

Then we will add the depth of field to the lines 

so we have two ways , only one could be enough .

First way : choose the dodge tool and change its mood to highlight 

the by pressing , hover over the edges of the guid lines to highlight it 

But remember to choose only one direction south , north , east , west anything.

Then by choosing the burn tool and by pressing hover over the same edges but with the opposite direction to make it darker.

that was the first way and the better but the hardest way , it takes a lot of experience to work with it 

cause it takes you to hole new levels of quality,

so if you dont wanna this , there is the easiest way

ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ 

Second way :  duplicate the guide lines layer 

                       and with 1 layer make drop shadow from blending options with a more darker color than the                    

                       skin color , which here I choosed the brown color with fixed direction 

                       and make sure that the shadow does not exceed 2-3 times the guide lines thickness

                       the with the second layer make a drop shadow but with a lighter color than the skin color and   

                       with the " opposite " Dirction with 2-3 times the guidw lines thicknes .

Note : when changing the direction of the shadow , if the first layers shadows direction reverse , then take that layer to a new image and make what ever you with it then grabe it back to the original file 

First Picture Represents  the first technique 

Second Picture represnts the second technique 

but also I added the Highlights and the burn to it 

The only thing left now is the background 

you can add any background you want 

So Im gonna add a random background , and change the color lookup to " drop blue "

and here that final answer to " How to convert a photo into a Humanoid " Part1 - Basics
