Create Beautiful Mystery Grunge Effect in Photoshop: "

In this Photoshop tutorial, I would like to tell how to make a beautiful mystery grunge artwork, using some stock images and brushes. It is not very hard work, but it requires some skill and your imagination. This work is very well suited for desktops and time for her creation will not take more than 2 hours. So let’s get started!

Stocks Used:

Then cut the parts of the mask, the fingers should cover the mask. For greater realism, make the shadows using 'Burn Tool'.

Our mask is too light, to fix it firstly using the same 'Burn Tool' make it darker.

PS. Also, I used the 'Create Clipping Mask' of grey-yellow 'Gradient Map' for the ornament, to making his a bit darker, as we did earlier with vintage mask and face.
Under our ornament write a little letter “K” (size: 40px; color: 37300f)

Our work is almost ready! Now are the interesting steps. Click on the menu layer and select “Flatten Image”. Next click on the Layer –> Duplicate LayerSelect –> All and Edit –> Copy. Now we have a layer of finished work! To get back all the layers click Ctrl + Alt + Z until all becomes the way you want. Well, click on the Edit –> Paste above all others layers. Click on the Filter –> Blur –> Gaussian Blur – 3.5pixels. And choose the “Overlay” mode with 45% of layer opacity.

With this step our colors have become much more lively. Repeat the same step of copying of the main layer. Our image is not in the best quality, because of poor material we used, so use a filter - 'Topaz Clean' to slightly improve the quality and detail. Like that:

I also erase some parts on the background and on the woman. You should get a similar result:
