Join Image and Sketches in Photoshop CC

Join Image and Sketches in Photoshop CC. In this lesson you will learn how to combine Photoshop photo with sketches made by hand, to create an interesting effect. The lesson is designed to have advanced Photoshop users. It is desirable that you have at least minimal skills of drawing, because it is you have to create a sketch. The result is supposed to be very interesting, so that – start.

Step 1.

Create a new document (the size of my document – 900 x 1355 px, the File> the New (File> New / Shortcut keys “Ctrl + N”)), fill the background layer with white.

Step 2.

Open the main image, which you will operate. We have used Man image. Rename the active layer such as ” Boy “. Using any tool of your choice, separate the guy from the background. I like to use for this purpose tool the Pen Tool will Tool – Feather (Pen Tool / key “P”) – to create a layer mask, and then separate the background. When you are finished creating the path around the model, click on the right mouse button and choose ” the make selection ” (Make Selection), then in the Layers palette, click on the icon mask layer (Add layer mask), to separate the guy from the background on which it is is.

Step 3.

Now it’s time to take advantage of simple overlay technique and alignment to add a variety of hand-drawn elements in our composition. Usually, I just print out a copy of the main picture, and then on top of it (for example, leaf tracings) the necessary elements. From the example below, you will be more clearly exactly how to perform this step. There are no rules here, just turn on the imagination.

When the sketch is complete, scan it and open it in Photoshop. Layer with a sketch of place above the bed with a guy, go to the menu of the Select> the Color the Range (Select> Color Range), the parameter Fuzziness (Vagueness) set somewhere around 120 pixels, click OK to download the selected black areas. Name this layer ” sketch ‘ “.

Step 4.

For the background I used a metal texture (like pick up on their own from the network). Place the texture layer over the white background layer we created at the beginning of the work, name it ” Texture A “, and change the blending mode to the multiply (Multiplication), and lower the opacity to 30% . Use the tool the Burn Tool will Tools – Burn (Burn Tool / key “O”), to darken some parts of the texture.

Step 5.

Under a layer of a man, a new layer. Download watercolor brushes and spray brush (select independently from the network).

Take the color swatch to model clothes with a tool the Eyedropper Tool will Tool – Pipette (Dropper / key “I”), also take a color swatch from the field hand on each layer, apply brush stamps, change for each of the transparent layers (watch only that all sectors were under a layer of Man). When you’re done with brushes, select the layers with splashes and watercolors, press the key combination the Ctrl + the G , combining them into a single group, name it ” old Body brushes “.

Step 6.

Go back to the layer ” Boy “, go to the mask and mask the additional parts of the image. This procedure should result in addition to a sketch, brush and the image itself looked together more harmoniously as possible. In this step, when you draw on the layer mask, you can also use brushes downloaded earlier, changing their size and transparency.

Step 7.

Create another new layer and name it as ” Shadows “. Select tools the Lasso Tool will Tool – Lasso (Lasso Tool / Key “L”), the value of Feather (Feather) set to 30 pixels. Create the shape of the shadow on the floor, right-click, selects the Fill (Fill), and fill the selection with black.

Then, go to the menu, the Filter> Blur the> the Motion blur (Filter> Blur> Motion Blur), set the setting, as shown below, lower the opacity to 40% .

Copy the active layer by pressing a combination of keys Ctrl + J , lower transparency copies to 30% . Select both layers with shadows, press the Ctrl + the G , to combine them into one group.

Step 8.

Create a new layer and name it “Line circles “. Select the tool the Elliptical Marquee the Tools Instrument – The oval marquee (tool “oval marquee” / key “M”), hold down shift , draw a circle the correct form. The menu Edit Have> the Stroke (Edit> Stroke), set 3 px, select black, click OK . Still with the selection still active, go to the menu of the Select> the Transform the Selection (Select> Transform selection), decrease in the amount of a circle. The menu Edit Have> the Stroke (Edit> Stroke), set this time value of 1 px, select all of the same black color, click on OK . This layer should be over “layer Texture “.

Add a layer mask and mask standing on the hide of the circle to create a more interesting effect. For this step, you can also use the spray brushes and watercolors. Just do not forget to change their transparency.

Step 9.

The next new layer name ” Black bars “. With the tool the Rectangular Marquee Tool – Rectangular marquee (rectangular area extraction / key “M”) draw several rectangles of black color, as shown below. Click on the button the Ctrl + T , rotate the rectangles to 45 degrees. As we have already spent earlier technique, add a mask to this layer and hide the mask by a brush some areas of rectangles.

When finished with these, lower opacity to 20 , and even 10% , and then combine the layers ” Line circles ” and ” Black bars ” of the same group, call it ” Circle effects “.

Step 10.

The work is almost finished. Create a new layer and name it “Black lines “. With the help of the tool the Pen Tool will Tool – Feather (Pen Tool / key “P”), create corners and various other interesting lines.

Open the brush settings panel, set the “spacing property” (intervals) to 425% by selecting a pre-brush 1 pixel black with a hard-edged. After you create the tool path the Pen Tool will Tool – Feather (Pen Tool / key “P”), click on the right mouse button, select the Stroke the Path (Stroke Path), note that the Simulate Pressure (simulate pressure) is not ticked, click on OK .

Repeat the process in other areas of the image, creating a solid line, dotted, and other corners of similarity. For convenience, create a new layer for each line. When finished, all the layers with lines merge into one group.

Step 11.

I added to the composition is also a boom box, applying to it the same effects and processing technique, which I described in the previous steps (second to sixth).

Step 12.

In the last step, I chose the tool the Eyedropper Tool will Tool – Pipette (Dropper / key “I”), clicked on it in hand to take a sample of the color, and then paint it with a brush translucent pinkish color around the eyes. that’s all.
