Tutorial for Special Drawing Style


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

is anybody here to explain, how to create a portrait style like this from any picture (portrait)?

I would like to create vector graphics like this (see below)

 

Also helpful could be a auto tracer software, but not with a monthly subscription ;)

 


Thanks for any hint, tipp ...

If you prefer to trace the photo yourself using the tools in Designer, you can do this. Use the Brush tool for all of the black regions and make sure there is no opening other than the white areas you want to have stick out. Now select all of the brush strokes, and go into Layer > Expand Stroke. Now use the boolean operation to create a union (Add).

 

There is currently an issue with the boolean operations in the current 1.6 beta, so you should either wait for the next update or use 1.5 for this task.

The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready. Feel free to connect with me and let me know what you like or what can be improved. You can contact me here, on my contact page, YouTube channel, or Twitter account. Thanks and have a great day!

Layer/New Adjustment Layer/Posterise Adjustment.

Then set Posterise Levels to 1.

You can simplify it further with Layer/New Live Filter Layer/Denoise Filter. Set Extreme checkbox and ramp Luminance Denoise right up.

The lighting on your original photo may be signficant. Side lighting in particular will help.

Another variant: Convert to Black and White. Add Levels adjustment. Turn Gamma right down, then turn Black up until you get the effect you want.
