OK this one is a bit harder, but well worth it. We will now make a transparency, and it takes a bit of work, so SAVE IT TO YOUR DEVICE when you are done, because believe me you will not want to do it over.
open photopea.com. Go to FILE. For speed, we will select "open from URL" because this is usually what you will be doing, but you can also select "open" and it will let you select an image from your device.
upload that baby, and then go to "SELECT" tab in the bar that runs across the top of your work area.
Now from that dropdown, select "REFINE EDGE"
Here you will have your original photo, and another box to it's right which will show you what your final product will look like.
Also at the top left, you will see a white box, a gray box, and a black box. Select the white box to "color" in the part of the image you want to keep and use the black box to "color" out the part you dont want. You will be working mostly with the white box.
Now you can change the size of your "crayon" or "painbrush" or whatever by hitting the dropdown arrow just to the LEFT of the three boxes.
Now, with your mouse, you are going to "color in" the face or object you want to lift from your photo.
WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY WITH YOUR WORK, hit "OK" in the top right corner.
Now, go back to "FILE" in the top left of screen. From the dropdown, select "PUBLISH ONLINE" and from there select "IMGUR"
Your photo will automatically open in imgur. Now copy image address and SAVE THAT SHIT!
You can now use what you learned here and in lesson 2 to put AOC's face on anything you want! THE POWAH.
SHORTCUT ---> remove.bg is a site that will automatically remove the background from your image. The only problem with it is that it is hit-and-miss. Often it doesn't "know" what you want removed, or say you want to remove a white background, sometimes it will remove everything white INSIDE your image as well and screw it up. So when it works, it saves a lot of time, but when it doesn't, you'll have to find some other way to lift your image, which is why I taught you the other method first.
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!
While you work on that, I will move on to lesson 4..... post results, there are lost of people here who can help you if you run into a snag. It's just practice, it don't have to be perfect.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: These are called 'transparencies', so if you are ever looking for say an AK transparency, then you can DDG it with the word "transparency" in your search terms, and it will bring up image transparencies in your top results.

I followed through lesson 3, but my image didn't automatically open in IMGUR. Any suggestions? Thanks for this tutorial. It's great!
