Gender Bending

A few people had asked me how I did some of the work on Reese Witherspoon in Gender Bending 3. For those of you who are interested, I've put together a little step by step to show some of my nasty little secrets.

For the haircut, I picked my lasso tool with a good feather on it and selected bits of the hair around the circumference of her head.

Then I copied it into its own layer.

I scaled...

then rotated...

...and repeated the process all around the head until the hair was looking about as short as I wanted it.

For 5 O' Clock shadow, I used my lasso to select the area where my scruff would be built...

I added some noise...

...and chose to "Fade" the Noise filter to "Darken" mode.

Then I redrew a few different selections in the areas were I wanted to have the facial hair more concentrated and repeated the process. For extra realism, I had a seperate source with real scruff that I blended into the upper lip and chin after the beard was nearly complete.
Hope someone finds this vaguely useful.
