Step 1
Start by creating a new canvas of 600×400 (or any sizes you think fit) in Photoshop. Create a new layer, call it "Layer 1" and place the photo we downloaded earlier inside.Step 2
In this step, we’ll first turn it ito a black and white photo. You can use any technique, but we are going to make use of the Hue/Saturation.Look for Hue/Saturation under Adjustments palette (Windows > Adjustment). Decrease its Saturation value to -100. A "Hue/Saturation 1" layer will then be added to your Layers palette.
Under the Color Balance’s Adjustment palette, switch Tone to Shadows and the following values:
- Cyan/Red: -59
- Magenta/Green: -100
- Yellow/Blue: -92
- Cyan/Red: -5
- Magenta/Green: -1
- Yellow/Blue: -50
Let’s call our new marged layer "Girl"
Step 3
Create a new layer with command Ctrl + Shift + N, fill it with white color with command Ctrl + Backspace. Move it bottom so it stays below the "Girl layer"Double click "Girl" layer to bring up the Layer Style dialog. Under the Blend If: section, look for the white triangular of This Layer:, hold the Alt key, and drag the white triangular towards the left until you reach the number 191/255.
Step 4
Hit Ctrl + Shift + N to create a new layer under "Girl" layer, fill it up with white color with command Ctrl + Backspace. Make sure the "Girl" layer is selected, hit Ctrl + J seven times to create seven new copies. Turn all Girl copy X layers off by clicking on the eye icon on the left of Layers palette.This leaves us with the original "Girl" layer. With it selected, do a Motion Blur (Filter > Blue > Motion Blur) the follwing values for:
- Angle: -22
- Distance: 484.
- Brush Details: 1
- Shadow Intensity: 0
- Texture: 3
Step 5
Moving up the Layers palette, look for the "Girl Copy", click on its eye icon to make it visible. Apply Motion Blur (Filter > Blur > Motion Blur) with the following values:- Angle: 22
- Distance: 247
Now, let’s give it a little hand-sketching feel. With "Girl Copy" later still selected, go into transformation mode with command Ctrl + T. Rotate it 90 degree CW, hit Enter/Return to confirm its transformation.
Give it a little Sheer effect (Filter > Distort > Shear) as showned in the image below, and then rotate it back to 90 degree CCW.
- Size: 150px
- Hardness: 0%
- Opacity: 30%
Step 6
Select "Girl Copy 2" layer, click the eye icon to make it visible. Get Sprayed Strokes (Filter > Brush Stroke > Sprayed Strokes) and set the following values:- Stroke Length: 20
- Spray Radius: 20
- Stoke Direction: Right Diagonal
- Direction Balance: 100
- Stroke Length: 50
- Sharpness: 10
Click OK to return to the canvas, select Gaussian Blur (Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur) and give it a Radius value of 0.8px. Name this later "Dark Strokes" and set its blending mode to Hard light.
Step 7
Select "Girl Copy 3" layer, click eye icon making visible. Give it a Crosshatch (Filter > Brush Stokes > Crosshatch) with the following values:- Stroke Lenght: 50
- Sharpness: 14
- Strength: 3
Step 8
Yeap, you guessed it. Open up "Girl copy 4". Change its layer Opacity to 85%. Now, with "Girl copy 4" selected, hold the Alt key and click Add layer mask on the bottom of Layers palette. This allows us to add layer mask but hiding it at the same time.Get the Brush tool with the command B, and select the following values:
- Size: 150px
- Hardness: 0%
- Opacity: 20%
Step 9
Next, we go to "Girls copy 5" layer. Double click the layer to bring up Layer Style dialog, change Blend Mode to Color Burn.Again with the later selected, hold the Alt key and click Add layer mask button. Our aim here is to make the face and body darker so we grab the Brush tool with command B and repeately painting on those parts until you get result like the image below.
Step 10
Now we want to add some edges on it. Select the "Girl copy 6" layer, click on its eye icon to make it visible.Look for filter effect Glowing Edges (Filter > Stylize > Glowing Edges), set the following values:
- Edge Width: 1
- Edge Brightness: 20
- Smoothness: 10
- Brightness: 150
- Contrast: 100
Name this layer "Edges".
Step 11
Moving on, turn on "Girl Copy 7" layer. Our goal here is to get some wet brush the shoulder, we’ll do something similar to what we did in Step 5.Call up Motion Blur (Filter > Blur Motion Blur), set the following values:
- Angle: 0
- Distance: 600px
Hold Alt key and click Add Layer mask, and paint some White Color with Brush B tool over the shoulder.
Step 12
Now we’d like to enhance the texture effect for this art. Download Paper texture v5 by Bashcorpo, pull it inside our working PSD file and fit it on top of our layer. Hit Ctrl + Shift + U to Desaturate it, and change the layer’s Blending Mode to Darker Color.Now, because the texture image is actually bigger than our image, you can move it around to see which part of the texture fits best.
Step 13
It’d will be nice to give the image some Sin City effect. Let’s go ahead and add some red color for the glasses. To do it, go to Adjustments palette (Windows > Adjustments) and click on the Hue/Saturation button. A "Hue/Saturation 1" layer will then be created. Check the Colorize checkbox, and the following values:- Hue: 0
- Saturation: 20
- Lightness: 0
- Size: 80px
- Opacity: 30%.
Step 14
We are almost done! Now if you are unsatisfied with any of the effects, feel free to go down each of the layers and give it some final touch-ups with Brush B tool. Remember, White’s to reveal, Black’s to hide.We hope you get a similar effect like the image below.
Great work!! I appreciate your work. It's very helpful for all. Thanks a lot.
