Cracked Portrait

This is another tutorial from the Photoshop magazine. The goal of this tutorial was to make to make a picture look like the Black Swan movie poster.

After opening the start image, I duplicated the layer twice. I used to texturizer with a sandstone texture on both layers, but the first layer had a lesser effect. Then I merged those two layers and edited the color and decreased the saturation and increased the contrast. They included a brush pack to use for the cracks. After drawing some of the cracks in, I filled in one section with black paint  to make a selection, then duplicated the selection twice and changed the blend mode to multiply. On the first duplicated layer, I added an inner shadow and added a drop shadow on the second layer to make the cracks look 3D. Then I added some random paint spots to make debris in between the cracks.
