Brush settings are also located on my site under the video. You will need to tweet them to get the desired look, but the basics are there.

Fantastic-this is, by far, one of the best tutorials I've seen on this effect. Exactly what I'm trying to accomplish with a particular project-thanks so much for your terrific tutorial!

[@prasadprabhakaran4167]

Amazing idea really fantastic ! salutes to you sir , this is the perfect pencil stroke ! Thanks a lot !

[@andrewkosnovsky3086]

Thanks TutExpert, I am just a point and shooter, but Found your tutorial very enlightening.

[@DrinkingStar]

I love this technique for creating a charcoal/pencil image. I have never seen it before.

[@WillPatterson77]

Thank you for the tutorial. It is a novel way to address the photo to sketch methods.

[@personnecomprendrienaceque3856]

A great thank you TutExpert. I used your technique to create my own comic on KZbin. I think you have the best way to convert a photo into a drawing that looks really nice :-) (as i use it i might not be that objective :-P)

[@r0mieh0mie]

CTRL+SHIFT+U is also desaturate and ALT-clicking the layer mask button makes a black layer mask. Just needed to point that out. ;D

[@randyburke3599]

Thank you, this tutorial is very useful. I have also gotten good results at times leaving the image in color.

[@Bertzova]

It's a beautiful tutorial with beautiful results. I have a problem completing this tutorial with the photoshop CS6 which I have. My question is which version of photoshop are you using in your tutorial

[@Tutexpert]

I'm using CS6 Extended. On my site under the video, I have a link to the brush which is an important part... maybe it will be a help to you. Hope this helps...

[@1421hp]

Excelente. Gracias por compartir.

[@madechoo]

[@9dexperts674]

[@georgetriantafyllides2820]

The best sketch video ever, thank you very much..

[@МастерскаяВадима-ш5ш]

Very good tutorial! Thank you very much!

[@john_joo_yohan]

what is brush name...?

[@pappumurthy9462]

I am using Photoshop elements and tried to use every possible brush there but I can not get the effect shown in this videol I tried to download the 64 bit and 32 bit burshes and add them to my brush list but still I do not find them as choices to pick. What am I doing wrong? Please help.

[@iandykes5411]

Can you do one that would be in colour ?

[@GreeneEntertainment]

do you have that same brush set that works with photoshop elements? because whenever I try to use either the 64bit or 32bit brush set, it says it's not compatible with my version of photoshop

[@Tutexpert]

I was using BitCasa for sometime to host the files I've created and used in my videos. I am now using DropBox, so if you've tried to download any of my Zip files, go to my website, scroll to the bottom of the video and article and there should be a link that is now pointing to my DropBox Files. Thanks so much for all your support and comments!

[@ratnaparth3528]

WHICH BRUSH DID YOIU USE?

[@stevemarshall8873]

Great video, would you mind posting your brush settings for that particular brush

[@Tutexpert]

I've added a 32 Bit version which may help with older versions of Photoshop, and I've posted a picture of the exact settings I used when creating the brush. tutexpert.com/photoshop-drawing-sketch-effect/ is the link.

[@LeeJacksonBeastMode]

what photoshop program is that

[@Tutexpert]

Lee Jackson CS6 Extended

[@LeeJacksonBeastMode]

Thanks

[@LeeJacksonBeastMode]

TutExpert if I wanted to buy the photoshop cs6 extend program, what web to go and download???Because my DELL laptop doesn't have a CD rom

[@Tutexpert]

adobe.com

[@kupocoma]

The brush is indeed the key :)

[@letranngoc9342]

thank so much

[@abpandit1]

thank you

[@LorenzoGarciaFlores1551565758]

Megustaria ber mas tutoriales en Español pues son mui buenos

[@soccerplayaFYC]

I love you man! Thank you for this tutorial!

[@Tutexpert]

no problem.. enjoy!

[@petenicezz]

hello, i have photoshop cs4. which brush should i use cause it doesn't have the one you are showing here.

[@Tutexpert]

I used a standard brush but adjusted the settings to create lines that could be used as a scraping type effect. I don't know if you've tried going to my site, but I have the brushes there for download. If they don't work, contact me through my site and I'll see if I can help you.

[@Mr_Techroid]

What's the purpose of locking a layer ?

[@kaferoga]

thank you, it is a wonderful effect

[@ShabnumAminKhan]

Great

[@countercultur]

Thank you! That's awesome man!

[@ngotridat92]

[@OORVOKKI]

[@vmartme]

Thank you very much! This is great time saver ;)

[@wesleymercer7496]

Thank you. Very Informative. I Hope to see more and in Mechanical Design would be very cool. I could Photo Shoot A Current Freight train , And Implement Changes ? Like to Aerodynamics or a new Motor design? Got my attention.

[@mkoda1]

Thanks for the helpful video. I get an error when I tried to load the brush file in both PS CS3 and PS elements. Anyone else has the same problem?

[@Tutexpert]

Most likely it is because I'm using CS6. I will look into it and see if there is anything I can do, but in the meantime, you can try to "re-create" the brush.

[@peterg6297]

Getting an error message that says - Could not use the history brush because the history state does not contain a corresponding layer. Message shows up after I add the layer mask. Help please

[@Tutexpert]

This brush is to be loaded into your standard brush palette and is not intended for use with the history brush. The concept is to create a regular brush that paints on a layer mask revealing the image. The layer mask hides the original image and this brush paints on that mask showing small portions of the image below. The history brush shouldn't be used to create this effect, just use the standard paint brush and you should be fine. Hope this helps.

[@peterg6297]

It did, thanks

[@LeeJacksonBeastMode]

TutExpert web site to download this program??

[@iluvericidle]

The brush isn't working no matter what I do. EDIT: I got it to work, but the lines aren't soft/thin enough. FINAL EDIT: nvm, I'm a dumbass. I had it on Pencil instead of Brush for some reason 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@ngotridat92]

[@krazy2090]

[@KapitonovSergeyArtstudio]

There is a compact version of the Art Studio. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4aZepyAo697mrs

[@newbbietrader9918]

5:40 min yes sr, hatching.-...and it takes us pro draftsman to do that manually some hours , shame on PS.Obviously ,nothing personal nor saying anything bad about PS, but something worth to be considered.

[@bulakenyongs.o6831]

too fast tutorial

[@cfowler7936]

Thanks for changing your tutorial half way :/

[@dabren4]

shue

[@ricktomei9902]

ROFLOL You just spent over 4 minutes off on tangents. It's frustrating seeing someone trying to learn and you as the teacher talk about other techniques. Please try to stay focused on the subject and maybe, I will be back and learn from you.

[@swordsoffire2212]

Dude you sound like butthead :) from beavis and butthead.

[@kabrother7894]
