pencil sketch

    Would you like to draw a pencil sketch? You are not good at drawing? Well, it doesn’t matter, follow me, please.

    Step 1: Open your image in Photoshop, Choose Image->Adjustment->Desaturate (or Ctrl+Shift+U by default) to make the photo to black-and-white.

    Step 2: Click Layer-> Duplicate Layer, duplicate the background as background copy.
    [​IMG]

    Step 3: Use Image->Adjustment->Invert (or Ctrl+I by default), then the image will look like a negative.
    [​IMG]

    Step 4: From the layer palette, set the blending options as Color Bodge.
    [​IMG]

    Step 5: Choose Filter->Blur->Guassian Blur, set the radius 4 pixels.

    Step 6: Don’t forget to merge the layer at last. So, everything is done!

    no way, I love fireworks!

    the tight integration with dreamweaver rocks, and a PNG is much smaller than the equivalent PSD file
