in this video I'm going to show you how , to create a line drawing from a photo in , Photoshopwelcome back to photocopy , training channel I'm Mrs. Ramirez in , this video I'm going to show you how to , tuna photo into a line drawing in five , easy steps this tutorial is going to , teach you a lot about filters Smart , Objects and blending modes and even if , you never need to create this effect , with your photos you will learn alto by , following along so let's get started , we're going to work with this image to , get better results with this effect you , want to isolate your model from the , background so we're gonna use a layer , mask to extract her from the background , so one of the easiest ways of doing that , is by selecting the quick selection tool , and clicking and dragging over your , subject until it's selected now if , you're in Phototropic you can click on , the select subject button and you can , lightship's artificial intelligence , select the main subject it won't be a , perfect selection but you can fine-tune , it from there'm holding alt which is , option on the Mac and click and drag on , these areas to deselect them you don't , have to be very precise since we are , gonna create a line drawing effect so , being messy it's actually Good thing , with your subjects selected you can , click on the layer mask icon to remove , the background then in the properties , panel you can click on select and mask , in Photo shop C's is known as refine mask , or refine edge it looks a little , different but the controls that I'm , going to use in this tutorial , work the same in older versions then you , can fine-tune the sliders to refine the , ma skin this tutorial I'm not going to , spend too much time refining the , selection and I'm not gonna spend too , much time explaining how each specific , slider works if you don't know how they , work I have a tutorial just on this tool , where I cover every single slider so , check it out'll place a link right , below in the description but in this , tutorial all I'm really going to do is , smooth the edges a little bit and so , that things are easier to see I will , change my overlay to on black and you , can see the edges of the mask , then you can add contrast to the edge , also you can shift the edge inward and , select the refine edge too land you can , paint over her hair to extract it from , the background and again the video that , Link to down below explains how all , these tools work then I'll press Oakland , I do want to mention that if you're , working with an image and you do want to , keep the background then still separate , the subject from the background and then , apply the effect that you're about to , learn on both layers that way you have , more control over them but in this , tutorial we're just gonna work with an , image without background so that was , the first step extracting the foreground , from the background step 2 is to make , this layer into smart object and you , can do so by right-clicking in the layer , and selecting convert to smart object , and by the way if you're working on , Photo shop C's or older do not convert it , into as mart object don't recall if , all the filters that I'm using in this , tutorial work with smart objects in , older versions but they do work on , regular pixel layers so follow along , with a regular pixel lay era smart , object is simply shell that protects , the layer and you can apply , transformations adjustments and filters , non-destructively and you can delete , them later if you want to or edit them , it just allows you more flexibility and , also'm gonna show you a really cool , trick with smart objects at the end of , the tutorial , now that have the smart object we're , gonna move on to step number three which , is create the main drawing effect and , we're gonna need several layers for that , so I'll start by duplicating the smart , object'll press ctr J command J on , the Mac I'll call the original layer , original and the duplicate I'll call it , base and it's Good idea to name your , layers so that you know what'seagoing on , in the layers panel so with the base , layer selected I'going to start , creating the main drawing effect I'm , going to start by precinct J , command J on the Mac one more time and , calling this layer inversion and I'm , going to invert the colors in that layer , by going into image adjustment in , vert and it inverts the colors so blacks , become white oranges become blue you're , flipping the colors you're inverting , them then I'm going to change the , blending mode to color Dodge which will , make the image disappear then I'm going , Togo into filter blur Gaussian blur and , you can blur the layer INS blur you , can see that this is already creating , the drawing effect see that so this is , basically a color pencil drawing effect , and you can just fine-tune it , accordingly remember we are working , non-destructively so no matter what's , sitting I use I can come back and edit , it also the settings that I use for all , the filter sin this tutorial are , relevant to this image so obviously when , you're working on your projects you're , working with a different image and you , may require different settings so use , the settings that use as a starting , point but then with your image fine-tune , it accordingly so in this case I'going , to use a high setting want a lot of , detail so I'll use W.8 and press , so I don't necessarily want the color , pencil effect so I'm gonna ha veto turn , the image black and white and you can do , that non destructively by creating a , black and white adjustment layer and , this adjustment layer turns everything , below it black and white by the way if , you want to edit any of the smart , filters you can just double click on the , label so I can double click on Gaussian , blur and adjust it as you need I'm gonna , cancel this but anyway I'm going to , collapse the filters by clicking on this , icon and that was step number three and , now we're going to move on to step , number four which is applying a shading , effect to do so I'm going to duplicate , the original layer so I'll press ctr J , command J on the Mac then'll drag that , duplicate layer to the top of the layer , stack and I'm going to use that layer to , create a shading effect then I'm gonna , use more filters for that the filter , that I'm going to use is found in the , filter gallery and that filter is under , the sketch section and notice that the , sketch section has all these different , filters that make your images look like , different kinds of sketches , the one that want is charcoal by the , way something very important'm gonna , press cancel notice that my foreground , color is black and that my background , color is white so if I had different , color selected like maybe red and green , if I went into filter filter gallery , watch what happens with that charcoal , effect so if you don't get black and , white that's the reason check your , foreground and background color so I'm , gonna press the D key on the keyboard , for my default colors which is black and , white or you can click on this little , icon here which does the same thing and , actually I don'necessarily want black , I'm going to double click on the foreign , color and I'm just going to select a , dark grey because I want to replicate , the pencil effect so I'll select the , dark gray then go into filter filter , gallery sketch charcoal and notice how , now this looks a lot like pencil , sketch and you can adjust the sliders , accordingly in this case I'll leave the , charcoal thickness At the detail at 5 , will work great and the light and dark , balance at W and press OK now what we , want to do is keep the black and remove , the white to merge the images or to , blend the images rather we're going to , use blending mode sand there'sine , blending mode that hides white pixels , and keeps the dark pixel sand that's the , multiply blending mode so with that , layer selected I'going to select the , multiply blending mode and notice how , that blends the charcoal filter with the , rest of the design and I'going to , rename this layer and call it shading , because it's shading the hair and other , parts but not as much and you can think , about this as filter stacking we're , really stacking filters on top of one , another also leaving though I'm not , gonna do it in this tutorial do want , to show you that if you go into filter , filter gallery you can actually stack , filters from here so notice how we , created a charcoal effect if I click on , this icon can create a second charcoal , effect or use different filter click , on this new filter icon and stack a , different one so I can stack filters , through the filter panel but I'm not , gonna do that in this tutorial I just , wanted to show you that quick , so I'm going to press cancel on this and , we're gonna continue working with this , design so that was step number four , shading we're gonna move onto step , number five which is making the actual , lines of the drawing so I'm going to , duplicate the original layer once again , by precinct J command Jon the Mac , and dragging it way on top of the layer , stack and I'll call it line sand what , I'm going to do is go into image , adjustments black and white which is , basically the same thing as the black , and white adjustment layer we created , earlier , it turns everything black and white but , in this case it did it within the smart , object so I just wanted a black and , white version of that image and now , we're going to find the edges to create , the outlines oaf drawing to do so I'm , gonna go in to filter filter gallery , and under stylize we have this filter , called , glowing edge sand what you kind of have , to do when working with this filter for , this purpose is imagine that image , inverted so anything that is white will , become black anything that is black will , become white so just imagine that these , are the outlines of a drawing so , anything that is white will become the , outline of the drawing and you can , adjust the width of the lines and how , bright the lines are and how smooth they , are in this case I want them very smooth , and maybe not as bright but of course in , your image you're gonna have to , fine-tune them accordingly and press , okay so what we want to do now is do , that inversion once again this time I'm , going to use the keyboard shortcut ctr , I commando on the Mac to invert which , is the same thing as going into image , adjustment invert and we're gonna use , the same blending mode we used earlier , which is the multiply blending mode , which removes the bright pixels and , keeps the dark ones so this is before , and after one additional thing that I'll , do to this layer is go into image , adjustment level sand with levels I'm , going to control how dark the dark is , pixel and that layer is remember I said , that did't necessarily want the pure , black , I wanted ad ark-gray to mimic the pencil , effect that's what I'm doing with this , layer and this adjustment so with the , black point I'm gonna drag it to the , right and I'just telling Photo shop , that the darkest pixel on this layer , will be that shade of gray then you can , adjust the other points to adjust the , contrast and the level of detail in the , line drawing and then press now one , issue with this layer is that got much , more detail than I wanted so I'm gonna , press the Z key and zoom in so that you , can see you see how got way more , detail there than I wanted you can see , it here more specifically in her face so , what'm gonna do is double click to the , side of the layer to bring up the layer , style window , under blend if I'm going to use the this , layer controls to hide some of those , pixels see that so I can click and drag , this tithe left so Icahn hide the , brighter pixels but don't want a sharp , transition so I'm going to hold alt , option on the Mac click I split those in , half and separate them to create a , smoother transition see that so that's , before an dafter and I can press if , you want to learn more about blend if , then check out my free crash course here , on YouTube cover everything that you , want to know about blend I'll place a , link right below in the description I'm , going to right click and select fit to , screen to seethe entire image so this , is what this layer did so I'm going to , select the line slayer by clicking on it , then I'm going to hold shift and click , on the base layer and press catalog , command G on the Mac to put that into a , group and I'll call this group drawing , effect then I'll create solid color , fill make it white and drag Otto the , bottom of the layer stack now that was , the fifth step but it's not the final , one I'going to show you how to make , this even better so this is sort of like , a bonus step what I'm gonna do is just , look at some of the problems that arose , by stacking layers on top of each other , see that so I can zoo min and you can , see that the eyes look great in some of , these other layers but not so good and , the lines layer or shading layer so what , you could do , create a layer mask and then paint with , black using the brush tool to hide , pixels in that area so Icahn select a , soft brush let me just find one here , like maybe this brush here and reduce , the size of the brush by using the left , bracket key on the keyboard and I'm , painting with black see that see how , when I paint with black I hide some of , those pixel sand it brings back the , pixels below and then I can bring some , of that detail so you kind of have Togo , around the image and select which pixels , to bring back I'll do the same in the , mouth I like the mouth from the , underlying layers better and I can , disable this layer and see what changes , and Icahn do the same thing I can create , a layer mask and maybe bring in more , detail into her eyes'll double click , on the hand tool just so that you can , see what we'redone and I think that the , eyebrows may need Little bit of work , as well so in your project look through , your layers and see which will work best , now the next thing that I'going to do , is really going to make it look like a , drawing effect just want to point out , that Aim using a Commutable if you , don't have one that's OK you can do with , a mouse but things will be easier with a , Wac om and they'll probably look little , bit better so what I'm going to do is , select the brush tool and then select , the dry media brushes and select tile , ultimate pencil then I'm going to create , a new layer and I'll call it hand made , details and in this layer I'just going , to paint in some details now I should , mention that the brush that I selected , is photocopy cc , so if you're in Photo shop C's or older , let me show you what to do if you're in , Photo shop C's or older you will not have , these new brushes instead you have what , is known as the legacy brushes no wand , you can't actually see them by default , in Phototropic but if you click on the , gear icon you can select legacy brushes , so if you are in Photo shop CC this is , what you need to do to bring back the , old brushes and obviously if you're on , older versions then you're not going to , see the new ones you're gonna see the , old ones which are , and under default brushes which are the , default brushes in the old version of , Photocopy will find a pencil brush , scroll down and Otis right here , pencil so if you're in Photo shop C's , that's what you can select in newer , versions you have the option of , selecting anew brush or the old one so , I'gonna stick with the new brush and , what I'going to do is in that empty , layer I'm simply going to paint and I'm , gonna make my brush really small and I'm , gonna do some test brushstrokes oh there , it is that's what I want and what I'm , looking at is I'm trying to see how big , my brush needs to be so that it matches , the detail of the drawing so in my case , about a size of seven should work so , I'll undo those changes and what I'm , gonna do is I'gonna zoom in and just , fine-tune the detail so just make it , look more like a hand drawing so I'm , just gonna come inhere and just like , that just make it more like a drawing , I'm just enhancing the detail now here's , a trick for you if you press thee key , on the keyboard you can click and drag , to rotate the view you're not actually , rotating the image just the view then , you can press the B key for the brush , tool and trace around the outlines of , the image just keep painting these , sketchy lines so that it looks more , realistic and it feels more natural more , organic and I'm not being very precise , because I want Otto look more like a , actual sketch not necessarily a refined , drawing and to go back into the original , view press R once again and click on , reset view and it strains the image now , I'm not gonna spend too much time , fine-tuning these detail son video what , I'll do is I'll pause and I'll comeback , and show you the results okay I pause , the video for about two minutes and now , I'm back so this is my result this is , before and this is after obviously in , your projects you can spend alto more , time fine-tuning those details and make , it more realistic what I'm going to do , now is show you that smart object trick , that I was talking about so we'vie been , working non-destructively with smart , objects and that allows us to change the , contents and what mean by that is if , you come to , any other smart objects and just , double-click on anyone of them they're , all the same they're all linked it will , open up a new tab with the layer that we , started with and we can replace that , layer with something else so I'm just , gonna go and find an image in my , libraries pane lit could be any image it , dozen't have to be from the libraries , pan eland I'm just gonna drag this image , in here and scale it appropriately and , I'm just gonna press ctr ls commands on , a Mac to save and go back into my , working document and you can see how we , apply the sketch effect to that image , obviously we need to repaint the , handmade details but the overall effect , is there all you will need to do now is , coming into the different Smart Filters , and edit them for example on the , inversion layer you can double click on , Gaussian blur and change the radius and , that way you can change the detail to , make it work for the new image'm gonna , press cancel go back into the smart , object and'll just delete this layer , and press ctr ls command S on the Mac to , save and go back into the document that , we we reworking with and enable the hand , made detail sand actually Just thought , about one thing that I wan'planning , on showing you but'll show you now , because it just came to my mind if you , wanted to create line paper it's really , easy to do all you need to do is click , on the new adjustment layer icon and , select pattern then click on this , drop-down and click on the gear icon and , select color paper press OK and scroll , down to this pattern here which is light , paper then you can change the scale to , W and press OK and then you can change , the blending mode to multiply and that , applies in line paper effect to your , design by the way if you're following , along and you create something using , these techniques share it Instagram , with the handicapped voids would love , to see what you come up with also if you , found this tutorial useful then hit that
