Turn a photo into a drawing

Learn how to turn photo's into drawings...

• Step 1 Open up a photo of a random person. I chose the beatutifull Kate Beckinsale that I picked after seeing the (SUPER) movie Click...

  

• Step 2 Duplicate the original layer by pressing CTRL+J. Then desaturate the image by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+U;

  

• Step 3 The press CTRL+J once more to duplicate this layer as well. Then press CTRL+I to invert the colors;

  

• Step 4 Set the blending-mode to Color Dodge. But oh... it's all white. Not to worry, that's normal. Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and choose a setting that will get you a result like mine below;

  

• Step 5 Now duplicate the original photo again (layer 1) and press CTRL+SHIFT+U again;

  

• Step 6 Go to Filter>Noise>Add Noise and add some minor noise;

  

• Step 7 Next, go to Filter>Brush Strokes>Angled Strokes and set the top slider to the right. The rest of the settings depend on the brightness of your image;

  

• Step 8 Place this layer under the previously done work and set the top works to Multiply!
