Make Cut-Paper Portraits with Photoshop & Old-School Tools

It will look like you drew these amazing portraits by hand, but Photoshop is your secret weapon.
Written by Terri Stone on November 25, 2009

Paul Overton of the blog Dude Craft has filmed a thorough video tutorial that makes it easy to take a photo and turn it into a cut-paper portrait that looks like you drew it all painstakingly by hand.

Photoshop is the key, but fans of old-school tools need not fear -- an X-Acto and Spray Mount are necessary, too.

You can watch the entire video (a little over 10 minutes, but worth it), below.
