Create a sketch from a photo of you and your partner. A meaningful gift for any celebration.
With Valentine’s day coming so close, you really need to prepare a nice gift for your partner. Of course, you could buy him or her that nice $200.000 car you both saw on the road but, unfortunately for us, not all of us can afford to buy something like that. So, why don’t you prepare something a lot cheaper, but very important and meaningful for your relationship: a nice sketch of a photo of both of you.
How do you do that?
First, take a photo of you and your partner. I have chosen this photo from sxc.hu. They seem like a nice couple and they really seem enjoying themselves, isn’t it?

Yeah, I can sure for you they really enjoying themselves, even because I’m the boy in the photo (lol).
This picture was taken in a place called Monte Verde, here in Brazil. It’s a city in the montains (very cold for brazilian’s standard, with temperatures of -5º in the winter). Curiously, it was taken in brazilian Valentine’s Day.
There are more pictures from us in the address that I left here, of course, if it interest for you.
I’m glad you enjoyed it and that was useful for you.
See ya!

open document (layer 1)
copy layer -> layer 2
grayscale layer 2
copy layer 2 -> layer 3
invert layer 3
layer 3 color dodge
blur layer 3
try it, lines work out better.
if you want to add color to the sketch,
bring layer 1 on top and set to color mode

Hi,
Nice Tutorial. Here is my two cents on how we can get the same or similar effect with lesser steps, using Graphic Pen or Charcoal filter (White and Black as FG and BG colors). Also I think you can do a Find Edges followed by a Desaturate.
Bye and happy photoshoping
