(Photoshop) Pencil Drawing

Let draw a picture with Photoshop
1. Create black and white tone by applying Desaturate. (Image>Adjustments>Desaturate)
2. Adjust brightness and contrast (Image>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast). I use Bright +18 and Contrast +11.

3. Go to history panel and create snap shot.
4. Unsharp mask (Filter>Sharpen>Unsharp Mask) to create pencil texture. I set the parameters are as follows : Amount = 500%, Radius = 2.2 and Threshold = 0.

5. Select “History Brush” with 65% Opacity and select the snap shot channel in History Pallet.
6. Use the history brush to paint over eyes and lips. This step will create shine in eyes and lips.
7. Select “Dodge Tool” and paint all background area in order to lighten background.

8. Use the dodge tool with 20% Exposure to create hair shade and size of the dodge tool can be adjusted depending on area. Draw the dodge tool in the same direction of hair. Apply dodge tool until you feel good with the image.

9. Apply “Grain” into image (Filter>Texture>Grain) with following parameters: 10 Intensity and 45 Contrast.

Wow you get the Pencil Sketch image
