In this tutorial i will like to show you the procedure to make an image chocolaty using Photoshop.

The final image will be like this:

I came across this wonderful image of the mythological, Artemis, who’ll be our lucky chocolate covered victim today.

1. The first thing I do is desaturate the entire statue, and smooth out any glaring dirty or rough areas with either the blur tool or smudge.

2. I look for any protruding areas first, such as the nose and chin, and lay down my thickest drips here, using the Liquify Tool set at 4/10 power.
Then, still with the liquify tool, using miniscule circular motions towards the base of the drip to create our blob-like ends.

We continue to do that throughout our entire image, creating drips in and around the ridges of the figure.
Note, be aware of the contours of your figure, and smudge your drips so that they flow accordingly.

And after we’re done that, you should be left with something like this.

3. Since grey chocolate is not on anyone’s list of favorite confectionaries, let’s give her some color now.
Using the Brush tool set to a dark brown tone, I painted over the entire figure on a new layer, then set this layer to “Hard Light”.

4. Now she’s starting to look a little tasty. But let’s make her more shiny.
I do this first by using a white Brush Tool and painting over key areas lightly. Following the general highlighted area of the original lighting, all we’re doing here is enhancing what’s already there.
I then set this layer to “Overlay”.

Then using a black brush, I did the exact opposite and painted in the shadowed areas to enhance the contrast of the image overall.
