| Hand drawn car |
| Open an image of a car. This tutorial applies very well to people also, but I advise you to have a car photo for starting. |
 |
| First of all, duplicate the original layer and desaturate it so that it has no color by hitting Shift+Ctrl+U (Mac: Shift+Command+U) or go to Image>Adjustments>Desaturate. |
 |
 |
| Duplicate the desaturated layer and rename it Layer 1. Now, with it selected, go to Filter>Blur>Smart Blur
and use these settings: Radius:100 Treshhold:100 Best Quality and Edge Only. Click OK and than invert the layer by hitting CTRL+I (command+I on Macintosh). |
 |
| Still on this layer, apply a Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur with a radius of 5 and set its Blending Mode to Hard Light (which can by done in the upper left corner of the Layers Palette). |
| Duplicate the ‘Desaturated’ layer, rename it to “Layer 2″, and move it over “Layer 1″. Now go Stylize>Emboss and use these settings: Height:2 and Amount 120%. Hit OK and set the layer’s blending mode to Hard light. |
 |
 |
| Again, duplicate the desaturated layer and move it over the layer 2 and rename it to “layer 3″. Apply the Filters>Blur>Smart Blur filter once again but this time use: Radius:20 Treshold:100 and Best quality, Edges only. Click OK and invert the layer, then set it’s blending mode to “Multiply” and opacity 80%. Your image should look like this: |
 |
| Once again, duplicate the “Desaturated” layer, rename it to Layer 4 and move it above “layer 3″. Apply the Filter>Stylize>Glowing Edges filter with these settings: Edge Width:2, Edge Brightness:10 and Smoothness:7. Click OK then invert the layer (CTRL+I or command+I on Mac). |
 |
| Duplicate layer 4 and rename it Layer 5. On layer 5 apply aFilter>Blur>Gaussian Blur with a radius of 10-15 (I remind you that these values are not fixed, they depend on what would you like, the resolution of the image, etc). This blur will give the image the shaded look. Set the blending mode to multiply and opacity about 30-50% (play until satisfied). Your image should look like this: |
 |
| Let’s colorize the image. Duplicate the original layer and move on top of all layers. Set it’s blending mode
to “Hard light”. Duplicate the original layer again, set it on top of all layers once again and set it’s blending mode to color. Here you are: your car drawn. |
