Creativity comes from simplifying

5:47 PM Create a beautiful illustrated sketch effect

Today i will show you how to do a nice illustrated sketch effect. Stock:   1. Duplicate your pic we have layer 1 . Press Ctrl+Shift+U to desature it. Choose Edit - Fade desaturate: 2. Press Ctrl+J to duplicate layer 1 we get layer 1 copy. Ctrl+I to invert it, then set this layer to Color Dodge 100%. Choose Filter-Other-Minimum: Choose layer 1, lower opacity to 50-70% depending on your pic. I choose 50% because my pic is light: 3. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E to get a new layer. Apply Surface blur: Set this layer to Multipy 100%. Duplicate it and lower opacity to 50% we have: If your pic is dark you can choose another mode such as Screen, set right opacity or skip changing mode. 4. Now we can use adjustment layers to make the pic look better. I choose Color balance: 5. Create a new layer, chose soft brush, color feb9d0 to paint on her cheeks and then her skin, set this layer to Multipy 25%. 6.  We see something wrong with her lips. It caused the light reflected on her lips in original pic. Create a new layer, choose Clone tool and check Same All Layers on property bar. Hold Alt key to choose the right area of lip and paint over there. 7. Use soft brush, 2px, with color of left lips stroke to draw the right: 8. Add bakcground ( i add some vector patterns, set this to Multipy 50% , add a layer masks to eraser the model) to complete the final effect: Some tips for this tutorial: - Use another adjsutment layers to adjust the light and color, such as Level, Brightness/contrast or Curves if needs. - If your pic background is not a simple color ( like my pic) you should skip the step 8.

Something you should read before leaving your words:

1. Pls use English or Vietnamese only which i can understand. Comments with another languages will be deleted.

2. Pls be kind. You can say your own thinkings, opinions, ideas even negative ones, but i don't accept the rudeness or if you lack the respect to me and my readers.
3. Pls don't use only emoticons or one word "hi" to represent your voice. All of such comments will be deleted. If you really want to say something, why don't leave more impressions?
4. No spam, advertisement ( cheap host, back link...) or stuffs that are not relevant to me or my blog content. Comments are always pre-moderated so the spams will not get any chances to be published.
5. Pls don't ask if they are not relevant to my blog content ( for example: ask me to help to do an effect on another site). I've been so busy so hard to follow such requests.
6. Html code for comment board is disabled. So pls don't use it here. But if you want to leave the link of your site here, just do it with prefix http://. For example http://www.google.com. Is it simple, isn't it ?
And now, have fun!
