Photoshop how to make a photo with a simple drawing. How to make a photo as drawn with Photoshop

Styling a photo is always very interesting for beginners (and not so) photoshoppers. Without long introductions, I will say that in this lesson you will learn how to make a drawing from a photo in Photoshop.

The lesson does not pretend to be of any artistic value, I will just show a few tricks that will allow you to achieve the effect of a hand-drawn photo.

One more note. For successful conversion, the photo must be quite big size, since some filters cannot be applied (they can, but the effect is not the same) to small images.

So, open the original photo in the program.

Make a copy of the image by dragging it onto the new layer icon in the layers palette.

Then desaturate the photo (the layer we just created) with the keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+U.

We make a copy of this layer (see above), go to the first copy, and remove visibility from the top layer.

Now we proceed directly to the creation of the drawing. Go to the menu "Filter - Strokes - Cross Strokes".

Using the sliders, we achieve approximately the same effect as in the screenshot.

Then we go to upper layer and turn on its visibility (see above). Go to the menu "Filter - Sketch - Photocopy".

As with the previous filter, we achieve the effect, as in the screenshot.

As a result, we get something like this (remember that the results will be fully visible only at a 100% scale):

We continue to create a picture effect in Photoshop. Create a print (merged copy) of all layers with a keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E.

Then go back to the menu "Filter" and choose the item "Imitation - Oil Painting".

The applied effect should not be too strong. Try to keep as many details as possible. The main starting point is the eyes of the model.

We are nearing the end of the styling of our photo. As we can see, the colors in the "picture" are too bright and saturated. Let's fix this injustice. Create an adjustment layer "Hue/Saturation".

In the layer properties window that opens, muffle the colors with the slider saturation and add some yellow color on the model's skin with a slider color tone.

The final touch is the overlay of the canvas texture. Such textures can be found in large numbers on the Internet by typing the appropriate query in the search engine.

Drag the image with the texture onto the model image and, if necessary, stretch it to the entire canvas and click ENTER.

Change the blending mode (see above) for the texture layer to "Soft light".

Here is what should happen in the end:

If the texture is too pronounced, then you can lower the opacity of this layer.

Unfortunately, the requirements for screenshot sizes on our site will not allow me to show the final result at 100% scale, but even with this resolution, you can see that the result, as they say, is obvious.

This lesson is over. You yourself can play with the strength of the effects, the saturation of colors and the imposition of various textures (for example, you can impose a paper texture instead of a canvas). Good luck in your work!

You can easily achieve this with short period. In this tutorial, you will learn how to create drawings from a photo using brushes. If you use a graphics tablet in your work, you can achieve an even better effect. In a similar lesson, another option was considered for creating a pencil drawing from a photograph. So, let's begin!

Here is the result you should get:

The lesson used an image from a paid resource, but you can easily find it on the Internet and free photos a similar topic.

1. Image adjustment

Step 1

Open our source in Photoshop. Double click on the Background layer to unlock it and name it Layer 1. Create New layer and name it Layer 2. Set the foreground color to white and then use the fill(G), fill it with white. Place Layer 2 under the source layer.

Convert the color image to black and white. Make the photo layer active and go to the menu Image - Adjustment - Hue / Saturation and in the settings window that appears, reduce the Saturation to -100.

2. Create a picture effect

Step 1

Let's move on to creating the drawing effect itself. Add a layer mask to the tiger layer. To do this, click on the layer mask icon and immediately fill it with black using the tool fill(G).

Next, switch the foreground color to white. The background color should be black. Activate the tool Brush(B). Choose from a set of brushes Flat blunt with short stiff bristles, set the size to 60 pixels. and start applying strokes on the black layer mask (you can experiment with brushes and sizes and choose another one you like).

Step 2

By continuing to paint strokes with a white brush on the layer mask, we restore the image, giving it the texture of the picture. Try to keep the brush strokes like hatching or cross hatching that mimics the technique of pencil drawing.

Step3

Tool moving(V) Center the image of the tiger in the document and add strokes until you are satisfied. When finished, duplicate this layer with the keys Ctrl+J.

Step 4

Now you need to enhance the effect of the picture. We go to the menu Image - Correction - Levels and set the settings for the RGB channel as in the screenshot, thereby enhancing the contrast and highlighting strokes. After that merge all layers together Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E.

Step 5

You can stop at the result, but it’s better to spend a couple more minutes and make the drawing as close as possible to the real one, made on paper. We will do this with the help of a gradient, we will try to achieve the effect of a photograph of a picture. Right-click on the layer with the picture and in the drop-down menu go to the option Overlay Options(you can just double-click on the layer with the left mouse). Choose a layer style Gradient overlay, set the values ​​​​as in the screenshot.
