With a bit of editing experience, it’s fairly easy to superimpose a photo of cracked glass over a photo of a subject, such as a face. But to really stretch your creative mobile photo editing skills, how about making it look like the face has cracked with the glass to get a broken mirror effect?
In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you how to create this cool broken mirror effect using a single photo of a face and some custom stamp brushes by Fooarc, who also gave me the idea for this tutorial.
I’ve also provided a workaround (see the Workaround section using Cracked Glass Photo option at the end of this tutorial) where you can use a photo of cracked glass from freepik.com or your own photo. All the links are provided below.
STEP 1: SOURCE PHOTOS AND DOWNLOAD BRUSHES
You’ll first need to find a suitable face photo for the image’s main subject. Try to find a portrait with an evenly-lit face (but not too bright or overexposed) with a dark background so that the light parts of the mirror image we place over the top will show up.

STEP 2: IMPORT THE FACE PHOTO
Tip: To undo any action in Procreate, two-finger tap on the screen and three-finger tap to redo an action.
Once you’ve downloaded your photo to your photo album, you first need to import the face photo into Procreate.
To do this, open Procreate and tap Photo from the top right corner (greyed out in the photo below) to open your photo library.
Select the photo in your library to import it into Procreate.
Make sure the image fills the frame. I cropped my landscape photo to fit portrait mode. If you need to crop your photo, tap the wrench icon again, tap Canvas, then select Crop & Resize from the drop-down menu.
