How to Convert a Photo into a Line Art Drawing in Photoshop

If you're not much of a drawer, you can still get the look of a detailed drawing simply by taking a picture and using Photoshop's tools and filters to transform it into something that looks drawn by hand.

There are actually many ways to do this, but in this how-to, we'll focus on line art in particular, which will turn your photo in a realistic black and white sketch.

Just open up your selected photo in Photoshop, create a duplicate layer, then go to Image -> Adjustments -> Desaturate. This will turn your image into black and white.

Next, go to Filter -> Stylize -> Fine Edges and you've got a pencil drawing effect. Now, go back to Image -> Adjustments and choose Brightness/Contrast. Adjust the brightness and contrast to your liking, then go to Filter -> Sharpen -> Sharpen More.

Now you have your line art!

You can adjust the opacity of the duplicate layer to create an interpolated rotoscope type effect (only they aren't moving images). This is a good option if you want a realistic color cartoon look, instead of the hand drawn black and white line art.

This process works pretty much the same for all versions of Adobe Photoshop, but if the technique varies slightly for an older version, please share it below in the comments.

One of the exciting new features in Photoshop CS5 is the more natural way of painting, opening new ways to express your creativity - even if (like me) you're not a true painter. In this tutorial I will show you the techniques and the tricks to convert a photo into a great-looking painting.

I must start by stating that if you're really serious about digital painting, you should consider Corel Painter 11, which is a dedicated natural-media painting program that allows you to use anything from a HB pencil to chalk, charcoal and watercolors and also simulates the canvas properties in addition to the brushes. Nevertheless, Photoshop's new offering is a solid one and more than enough for many artists.

For best results, a Wacom tablet like the new Intuos 4 is also recommended, although not required. In addition to pressure sensitivity, the new Wacom also senses the angle of the stylus, allowing for even more realistic results.

Theory

There are two new features used for painting in Photoshop CS5. The first one is the new Brush Tip options.

With the new brushes, you can control the number of bristles, length, thickness and stiffness and not only can you see the result in the brush panel, you also get an overlay window that shows you the 3D virtual brush and its bristles.

I am not really a big fan of the brush preview window but thankfully you can turn it off if you find it distracting.

The second ingredient in the digital paint toolbox is the Mixer Brush. The Mixer Brush is like a combination of the normal brush and the smudge tool. As you paint, it smudges and mixes the color, as if you were using wet paints.

The way the brush color is mixed with the canvas is controlled by three parameters - the wetness of the paint, the load of the brush and the mix amount between the paint color and the canvas color.

To illustrate these parameters, I brushed quickly over an image with different settings:

So, a heavy load will carry more paint over a stroke than a light load; wetness smudges and mixes the canvas color with the paint color; a high mix rate will use more of the canvas color than the paint color.

Practice

The real magic with the Mixing Brush is that you can paint using the colors from a picture, effectively helping to you turn a photo into a painting with little effort.

To demonstrate this, I will start with a nice photo I took 10 years ago on film.

Create a new transparent layer. Select the Mixing Bush and from the top bar choose the preset Very Wet, Heavy Mix; choose the brush that you want from the Brushes panel and make it a big size.

To paint on the new layer using the colors from the background, with the Mixing Brush tool selected, make sure that the option Sample All Layers at the top is selected. Deselect the icon (Load the brush after each stroke) then Alt-click on the image to load the brush and start painting on the new layer.

To paint effectively, you need to think in terms of layers, from background to foreground and from broad to detail. Therefore we'll start painting the background, using broad strokes with a large brush tip, ignoring the shack/cabin completely. Your strokes should more or less follow the contours of the terrain and clouds.

Hide the background layer temporarily to see the effect so far:

As you can see, I smudged the colors over the shack as if it did not exist. Also, notice how my strokes follow the hills and the shapes of the clouds. Keep working until you fill the layer and are happy with the result.

Next, we need to paint the cabin. It's better to paint it on its own layer so that if you decide to change anything, it doesn't mess with the background.

To do that, you need to hide the landscape layer, create a new one and paint on it. This time you'll ignore the landscape and do just the cabin. You also need to make the brush tip smaller. Make sure the background photo is visible so it can pick the colors from it.

If you look at the roof, you'll see that I erased from it some parts I did not like - this is why it's a good practice to work on separate layer.

Now that we have the broad strokes, it's time to bring in the details. Repeat the process - hide the shack layer, make sure the background photo is visible, make the brush tip even smaller, create a new layer and start painting on it. This time you no longer need to fill all the stuff, just short, fine strokes in the areas you want detail.

If you show all layers, this is what we get:

Not bad. We still want to add some more details like shadows. Create a new layer and set its mode to Multiply and opacity to around 60%. Choose a Dry Mixing Brush - now we don't need to mix with the background - and black for color. Paint the shaded areas.

At this point you can leave it as it is, or you can add a final touch. One of the nice things about oil paint is that it has thinkness. To give this kind of tridimensional effect, you need to create a merged copy of the layers. The easy way is to duplicate all layers and then merge the copy (quickest route: select the layers and press Shift+CTRL+ALT+E or Shift+CMD+OPT+E on Mac). Now you should have a new merged layer in addition to the original ones.

An even better method would be to select the layers, choose Layer -> Smart Objects -> Convert to Smart Object and then duplicate this smart object via Layer -> Duplicate Layer or ( on Mac). This method is better because it leaves the contents of the smart object editable as well as the Emboss effect.

Whichever method you chose, with this new layer selected, choose Filters -> Stylize -> Emboss and in the dialog enter some values like below:

Make sure Height is relatively small - this depends on how large your canvas is, and make sure you crank the Amount all the way to the max. You can always tone the effect down later with opacity. With this emboss layer, set the mode to Overlay.

Here's the end result, including all the layers for reference:

And there you have it!

For digital painting, a pressure-sensitive tablet is recommended, you may want to get one like this:

Here is a new tutorial for all the drawing lovers. In this tutorial, we will make a quick sketch, scan the sketch, and convert it into Photoshop. Then the fun will begin. Drawing a portrait is not very simple, but with some knowledge you can achieve a lot. The end result may not look exactly like the person you are trying to draw, but the important thing is to do the best you can and make the eyes, mouth, or nose look similar to your subject.

The end result in this tutorial looks more like me, but to tell you the truth this is just a coincidence. Also, I would like to thank Necula Cezar for throwing a helpful hand in this... I am working hard to produce great quality tutorials for you and help is a must.

Final Image Preview

This is the image you will create. You can view the final image preview below or view a larger version here.

Step 1

First of all you need to make a rough sketch, scan the image and import it into Photoshop.

Step 2

Next, create a new transparent layer over the sketch (name it "sketch"). Then using a small brush, draw the sketch again, but this time make it more accurate.

Step 3

Create a new layer and place it below the "sketch" layer and name it "color." Using a soft brush draw the color over the face, using this code: #e9b68b.

Step 4

According to the light source angle (which is in the top-left), draw some shading using a soft Brush (B). This time use the same color but give it a slightly darker touch.

Step 5

Reduce the brush opacity and continue to darken the shadows some more.

Step 6

Mix the color and the shadow with the Smudge Tool (R), which results in a nice transition between the face color and shadow.

Step 7

It's time to add the hair color. Use the same brush that you did for the face, but this time use color #3c210f.

Step 8

It is time to add some details to the hair. Draw thin lines, each in different directions. Use a darker (#9f815d ) and a lighter color (#1e0d05) for this. With the help of the Smudge Tool (R) and the Opacity set to 20, smudge the thin hair you just created. This will help you make the hair more realistic.

Step 9

You need to draw thin lines along all the head part until you get something similar to the image below.

Step 10

For this step you need to start adding the light on the face. Select a soft brush and also lower the Opacity of the brush. This will help you create the light effect gradually. After you are set with the brush, start adding some light using the color #ffdebb.

Step 11

It is time to work on the eyes now. Color the iris of the eye and the white side with these colors: #edddb9 and #797866.

Step 12

Add some more color and details to the eyes.

Step 13

Make the eyes shiny by placing some light on them. Also, create some shadow over them. You need to create the thickness of the eyelid by drawing some shadow on the lower side of the eyelids.

Step 14

Slowly erase the sketch and add some more light on the eyes.

Step 15

Next, work on the mouth.

Step 16

For the lips I used this color #d58b6a.

Step 17

The upper lip is darker then the lower one because the upper lip is where you need to draw the shadow. The color used is: #8f6048

Step 18

To bring more realism to the lips you need to draw some darker lines over the upper lip using a small brush. Also you need to smudge the lines.

Step 19

Same as you did with the upper lip you need to do with the lower lip, but this time use lighter colors to make the lip shiny. Also, you need to make a selection around the upper lip and use the Burn Tool (O) to add some more details.

Step 20

Repeat the burning process over the lower lip. Also, draw some more lines and make the textured lip detail and gradually erase the sketch.

Step 21

Refine the eye wrinkles and eyebrows with a low opacity Burn Tool (O), then smudge them as we did with the hair.

Step 22

Add a little red to the cheeks (#e6986e), to make it more human and some grey for the beard. Start drawing the beard with a soft brush set to a low opacity and then use the Smudge tool to mix the colors. The color for the grey is #908478. Also, as you can see, I have added some more shadow on the face.

Step 23

These last steps are the finalizing steps. Erase the sketch and Smudge the tips of the hair to create some volume.

Step 24

Smudge the skin and the eyebrows.

Step 25

Smudge the forehead skin color over the hair to create the hair roots.

Step 26

Add some light on the nose and the area under the nose. This will make them shine.

Conclusion

You are finished with the face. Place a nice background or maybe fuse your portrait into one of your illustrations. You can view the final image below or view a larger version here.
