Step 1 - Understanding Pen Tool:

There are 2 types of path strokes, with and without Simulate Pressure. Set the Brush to 1pt and draw a straight path with Pen tool. Right-click on the path and select Stroke Path. Select Brush, uncheck Simulate Pressure and you will get a line like the top example.

Step 2 - Tracing the Figure:

Create a new document of size 750x550 pixels. Drag Keeley Hazell image in and create a new layer above and name it as Outline.

Using the technique in Step 1, path the general outline with Pen tool. Set Brush to 1pt and stroke your path without Simulate Pressure.

Draw the paths for hair and other details. Set Brush to 3pt and stroke these paths with Simulate Pressure.

Step 3a - Painting Figure:

Create a new layer below Outline and name it as Skin.

Step 3d - Painting Figure:

Create a new layer above Shirt and name it as Face.

Set the foreground color to #000000 and paint the eyes, eyebrows, ear and nose.

Set the foreground color to #FFFFFF and paint the teeth then #EC6060 for the lips.

Step 4a - Adding Halftone Effect:

Hide all the layers except for the original image of Keeley Hazell.

Step 4b - Adding Halftone Effect:

Go to Filter > Pixelate > Color Halftone.

Set the Max Radius to 6 and Channel 1, 2, 3 and 4 to 0. You should get a nice black-white halftone effect like the one on the left.

Step 4c - Adding Halftone Effect:

Select this halftone layer and arrange it to be the topmost layer on the panel. Set Blend Mode of this layer to Soft Light and Opacity to 50%.

Step 5a - Adding Background:

Create a new layer below everything and name it as Background.

Set the foreground color to #662855 and background color to #3B022D. Make a linear gradient across the screen diagonally.

Step 5b - Adding Background:

Select the Custom Shape tool, click on Shape Layers and then choose Registration Target 2 from the preset list.
