What are you working on? Please post your links to your images in the comments.

If you look closely though you can see where some parts remain.Ħ.) Finally I finished things off by flattening all layers and dragging the burn tool around the edges for a stylized look. I adjusted the opacity on all layers to play around with what shows through and how much.Ĥ.) Then I made another layer on top that was just the black line drawing.ĥ.)

I chose this image to work with because my son looks dreamy and is turning away from the usual attraction of a gondola passing under a bridge.ġ.) First I placed the photo down and added a very slight artistic filter to it.

This is a simple tutorial “cheat-sheet” that explains how I easily created a digital painting made from a photo I took in Venice a few weeks ago.
