I'm going to show you how to transform a

0:00:13.180,0:00:19.680
photograph into the look of a beautiful

0:00:16.720,0:00:19.680
pencil drawing

0:00:21.370,0:00:27.340
this is an update of a tutorial i did on

0:00:24.670,0:00:29.590
an earlier version of Photoshop open a

0:00:27.340,0:00:33.160
photo you'd like to use I downloaded

0:00:29.590,0:00:35.910
this one from shutterstock.com the first

0:00:33.160,0:00:40.030
step is to make two copies of your photo

0:00:35.910,0:00:43.750
press ctrl J on Windows or command J on

0:00:40.030,0:00:46.510
a Mac twice we'll remove all the color

0:00:43.750,0:00:49.320
from the topkapi by pressing ctrl or

0:00:46.510,0:00:52.260
command shift you

0:00:49.320,0:00:55.440
adjust its brightness and contrast by

0:00:52.260,0:00:58.410
pressing ctrl or command shift L to

0:00:55.440,0:01:00.720
invoke auto tone since we'll be adding

0:00:58.410,0:01:02.940
filters to the image will convert it

0:01:00.720,0:01:06.320
into a smart object so we'll be able to

0:01:02.940,0:01:08.970
adjust or modify the filters at any time

0:01:06.320,0:01:12.150
click the icon at the upper right of the

0:01:08.970,0:01:16.080
layers panel and click convert to smart

0:01:12.150,0:01:18.210
object you know it's a smart object when

0:01:16.080,0:01:24.320
this icon is at the lower right corner

0:01:18.210,0:01:24.320
of its thumbnail rename it glowing edges

0:01:24.370,0:01:32.460
make a copy of it

0:01:27.510,0:01:34.530
and rename the copy charcoal click off

0:01:32.460,0:01:37.350
the eyeballs next to the two top layers

0:01:34.530,0:01:41.469
to temporarily hide them

0:01:37.350,0:01:44.530
make layer one active click the

0:01:41.469,0:01:47.159
adjustment layer icon and click

0:01:44.530,0:01:47.159
hue/saturation

0:01:49.400,0:01:55.980
slide the saturation all the way to the

0:01:52.190,0:01:59.490
left to remove all its color

0:01:55.980,0:02:04.170
make layer 1 active again and invert it

0:01:59.490,0:02:07.040
by pressing ctrl or command I convert it

0:02:04.170,0:02:07.040
into a smart object

0:02:09.690,0:02:16.430
and change its blend mode to color dodge

0:02:14.360,0:02:19.470
at this point your image will look

0:02:16.430,0:02:26.290
almost completely white

0:02:19.470,0:02:29.469
go to filter blur and Gaussian blur

0:02:26.290,0:02:30.760
I'll make the radius 7 pixels but you

0:02:29.469,0:02:33.280
may want to adjust these settings

0:02:30.760,0:02:35.799
depending on the size and resolution of

0:02:33.280,0:02:38.200
your image slide the radius until your

0:02:35.799,0:02:41.310
image has approximately this much detail

0:02:38.200,0:02:43.659
if you want to adjust the blur later

0:02:41.310,0:02:46.629
just double click the Gaussian blur

0:02:43.659,0:02:49.480
smart filter and the blur window will

0:02:46.629,0:02:51.670
open again you can adjust it as often as

0:02:49.480,0:02:53.739
you want and whenever you want because

0:02:51.670,0:02:57.370
the layer that you apply the blur filter

0:02:53.739,0:03:03.020
to is a smart object make the glowing

0:02:57.370,0:03:07.610
edges layer visible and active

0:03:03.020,0:03:10.430
go to filter and filter gallery

0:03:07.610,0:03:14.990
open the stylized folder and click

0:03:10.430,0:03:19.160
glowing edges I'll make the width 1 the

0:03:14.990,0:03:20.960
brightness 20 and the smoothness 7 feel

0:03:19.160,0:03:23.290
free to experiment with the settings if

0:03:20.960,0:03:23.290
you'd like

0:03:26.140,0:03:32.700
click the adjustment layer icon and

click invert

0:03:34.630,0:03:39.010
click the clipping mask icon

0:03:36.970,0:03:41.590
restrict the adjustment layer to effect

0:03:39.010,0:03:43.810
only the glowing edges layer otherwise

0:03:41.590,0:03:46.960
it would affect all the layers below it

0:03:43.810,0:03:49.870
in the layers panel to see through this

0:03:46.960,0:03:53.860
layer make the glowing edges layer

0:03:49.870,0:03:55.890
active and change its blend mode to

0:03:53.860,0:03:55.890
multiply

0:03:57.520,0:04:04.780
make the charcoal layer visible and

0:04:00.690,0:04:06.460
active make sure your foreground and

0:04:04.780,0:04:09.370
background colors are black and white

0:04:06.460,0:04:12.730
respectively if they aren't press D on

0:04:09.370,0:04:15.930
your keyboard go back to filter and

0:04:12.730,0:04:15.930
filter gallery

this time open the sketch folder and

0:04:21.140,0:04:28.520
click charcoal

0:04:24.500,0:04:32.360
I'll make the thickness to the detail 5

0:04:28.520,0:04:34.220
and the light dark balance 80 but again

0:04:32.360,0:04:36.670
feel free to experiment with these

0:04:34.220,0:04:36.670
settings

0:04:38.870,0:04:46.540
to see through the layer as before

0:04:41.950,0:04:46.540
change its blend mode to multiply

0:04:48.370,0:04:54.960
double click this icon to edit the smart

0:04:51.490,0:04:54.960
filter blending options

0:04:56.480,0:05:13.670
change the blending option from normal

0:04:58.490,0:05:16.610
