How do you get the eyes to blink like that, it’s spooky!

I generally paint an extra Layer or two.

the basic image is on the lowest layer...with the eyelids on a layer on top of that.

then I decide how long I want the blinks to be and enter the time in a small dialog box.

Matching all the colors in the eyelids is the toughest part. Generally I use an eyedropper tool to “sample” the tones in the original photo..and put those colors on a seperate “pallette.”

Ive probably done hundreds by now.

everybody from al gore to al sharpton
