Love your tutorial here but as a fellow photoshop lover, if you wanna make the drawing have little pencil strokes, merge everything and copy the background layer, go to filter - filter gallery - graphic pen and choose the settings you feel looks good, then click ok and set that layer to "darken" in the blending modes. play with the opacity until it looks right. now your drawing has little drawing strokes, it looks even more realistic!!! take care :)

Thanks a ton, that's great and easy! You can finish it with (on a new Composite Layer on top) Filter Gallery > Graphic Pen (Stroke 3, Light/Dark Balance 100) and put the blend mode to either lighten or darken, whatever you prefer. Play with the opacity of this layer. if it is too harsh you can put on a motion blur on this compo layer with a decent blur in the same direction as the strokes of the filter. I did 47° and 4.

I've tried this on two older photos I have. Is there a way to enhance the picture so that it will transform better? If not, what makes this work so well? I noticed you have no background and the face is very clean and clear. Is it harder to do this on a man's face? I'm really having a tough time of it and I'm sure it is just my original. It is sort of "flat" in tones and contrast. Is that my problem? Thanks for all your great vids!!

@BLTV_Photoshop 4 жыл бұрын

There are many ways to correct the brightness and contrast of photos. For example, you can go to Image > Auto Tone or Auto Contrast. Or you can go to Image > Adjustments > Curves . In the Curves window, on the right, click "Auto".

Hey! Marty I've discover simple editable way to clean up the area. Steps are: 1st- Make new blank layer, fill with white color. 2nd- Click the layer mask button to make layer mask of that layer and invert the color of the layer mask. 3rd- Set foreground color white then we will able to clean the area that we do not want. This how we don't need to take snapshot of the image. Do you like my idea??? And please tell me if I'm not correct!

It would change say every month and it would be like searching for an answer to a question except you would respond right then and there without ever leaving the program.

Hi Marty, I have something to add to this tutorial...first off, thanks! this pencil drawing is great! As to controlling the areas that start turning black with too much levels movement, I found that if you add an exposure layer and offset by about +0.10, it acts as a limiter to the blackness so that can go back and use the levels to your heart's content.

The tutorials are great and I appreciate the succinct and simple manner in which they are presented, but I really wish you elaborated more on the techniques and methods used to better understand how they effect what's happening on screen. Sometimes I'm left with questions of how and why you decided to approach an image a particular way. Maybe if you explained more on why and what happens when you decide to take certain steps (i.e. why you inverted the color dodged layer and how it cancels out the original image, and then cover what the gausian blur is actually doing, etc.). That way it's easier to wrap our heads around how these methods dictate the results we end up with.
