Photoshop Tutorial (1) : Photo to Pencil Drawing in Adobe Photoshop

There are only 5 steps to convert your Photo to Pencil Drawing.

(Original Picture)

Step 1: Open the photo that you would like to convert into Pencil Drawing in Adobe Photoshop.

Step 2: Press the short cut key Control + J key (CTRL + J) to duplicate the layer. After that, press CTRL + U and decrease the saturation value to -100.

Step 3: Press CTRL + J again to duplicate the layer and press CTRL + I to make negative effect.

Step 4: Then choose the layer style to Color Dodge. You won’t see anything now (all become white).

Step 5: So, to view pencil strokes (or) depth of pencil tones please apply a Gaussian Blur (From Menu: Filters › Blur › Gaussian Blur) to the top of the layer to become a pencil drawing. Hence, the more you increase the pixel value they more you will see the dark tones of pencil strokes. If you want to have thin sketch lines (soft tones) .. please use lower pixel value.

NOTE: To see the effective result please check the Preview in Gaussian Blur Dialog box.

Behind the Scene

There's a subculture out there of people who are obssessed with cereal. That's right, they're called "cereal junkies"

My name is MYO HAN HTUN. You can call me my nick name "KO TOE". Currently, I'm working as a Web Designer/Systems Administrator in eLearning Courseware Production Center for online eLearning in one of the Universities in Thailand. I want to say "I am no Leonardo Da Vinci" before you are going to continue reading. But I love to say "I want to do all the way what I can do".

Wonder? I didn't attend the ART School and the computer graphic courses that I had studied were Photoshop and Coraldraw at a computer Center. Since I was a child, I became a self-taught how can I say "self study"? I had studied traditional painting especially in Pencil, Water Color and Oil Painting and worked as a Portrait Painter until late 1999.

I studied for bachelor degree in PHYSICS at University of Mandalay Institue in 1996 and finished B.Sc. PHYSICS in late 2002. I started exploring Computer fields in 1999. I attended and studied some of Computer subjects related to Systems Administration and Programming. I worked as a Computer Technician at DCD, a well known IT Company in Myanmar until 2003 before leaving further studies in Compufield, Mumbai, India. Then I studied Systems and Network Courses especially CISCO and earned Diploma in Network Engineering and certified myself as MCSE, Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, MCSA, Microsoft Certified Systems Administration and A+ Certified Professional.

Now, I am working as a head of the section of Web Design/Development and Systems Administration for eLearning Courseware Production. Since 2001, I am working with my younger brother, MYO KYAW HTUN for Educational Software Development, Web Design and Web Devlopment in our spare time
