Altered Self Portriat

This is my altered self portrait! Here is a before picture:

I found this project to be pretty difficult. I probably redid this about five times until I finally got what I wanted. The instructions from the tutorial were very vague, so I had to fool around on Photoshop to figure out what to do. My hardest part was the nose. I didn't realize how gentle you have to be using the liquify tool, so I ended up going on YouTube and watched videos about using the liquify tool, which helped me out a lot.

I'm really happy with the finished product, and before I did this I had no experience at all with Photoshop, so I think that this really helped me get an idea of how some tools work.
