step 1 of 7
My photo of Louie Armstrong was used for the background.
step 2 of 7
Churchhill has been added over the background photo of the trumpet player. Using the liquify tool, a smile has been put on his lips and corner of his eyes. Bottom has been cropped off.
step 3 of 7
I decided to put a top hat on Churchill and made it blue to start with. I found the brush for hats on Brusheezy, downloaded it, and since it was a zip file, had to extract it with Winzip (which I also had to find on-line.) The brush tools can then be added to the brush choices on the Adobe PS workpage and used as any other brush, transformed to rotate, scale, reverse, etc.
step 4 of 7
I added the cigar since I remember when I was young that you never saw pictures of Churchill without a cigar in his mouth or hand. I drew the hand in with a brush, then cloned the metal finish, trimming the edges with the eraser tool.
step 5 of 7
I found smoke brushes, downloaded them, extracted them and saved them to my brush choice tool box. They are really cool to work with.
step 6 of 7
step 7 of 7
Hat brush used; it was scaled with edit/transform/rotate and also scaled to larger size. I added a layer over it to give it a metal look by chopping a piece of 'metal' from a copy of churchill, then used style function to make the new layer more transparent.
