A Work in Progress: What a doll.

This guide was made for entry:
What a doll.
In Contest:
muddy face

Original image

step 1 of 10

Started by using the clone tool to remove the doll's eyes and mouth

step 2 of 10

Using the clone tool and the heal tool, used the blank portion of the dolls face to create a clean area around the eyes,

step 3 of 10

Pasted just the eye area onto the doll and adjusted it so it fit well where the original eyes were. As I used the free transform tool to rotate and size my eyes, this layer's opacity was down so I could easily see where they would be positioned

step 4 of 10

Going around with the paintbrush tool I cleaned away the dirty portions of the pasted eyes, and blended the painted "clean" sections of the eyes into the dolls head

step 5 of 10

I repeated the above steps from the eyes again with the mouth, and cleaned up to finish the face

step 6 of 10

I selected only the hair, made a new document and turned to black and white. after doing that I adjusted the levels, hue, and saturation until it was a decent shade of yellowish blond

step 7 of 10

I then pasted the new colored hair back into the document and adjusted the opacity till it resembled a more natural look

step 8 of 10

I cut out the arms and dress from the second doll image and selected just the arms, fine tuning the color to match the existing doll. I then used the warp tool to line the arms up with the dolls existing arms.

step 9 of 10

I sized and blurred the background

step 10 of 10

Finally I removed the unneeded portions of the frame picture and adjusted it to the correct size of my image

Final result
