Talented Artist Combines Photography and Illustration to Capture 'The Sketch of a Life'
Paris-based artist Sébastien Del Grosso combines his talents as an illustrator and photographer to create incredibly creative self-portraits. Taking on an almost cartoon-like aesthetic, the series is titled “L’esquisse d’une vie,” translating to “The Sketch of a Life.” As you can see from the image below, creating one of these images takes several steps and requires that Del Grosso ply his skills in several artistic arenas. What’s left when all is said and done is a unique hybrid between photography, sketching, and digital art: But this series is about more than just creating interesting self-portraits — something that, admittedly, he does better than many other skilled artists we’ve seen and featured — it draws from Del Grosso’s own life. “I wanted to illustrate the main stages of my life,” he writes on his Behance.

Free Engraved Illustration Effect Action for Photoshop
My most popular tutorial of 2014 was my guide to creating a realistic money effect in Photoshop, which explained the steps to achieve an authentic engraved illustration style. The process is quite time consuming, so I figured it would be useful to follow it up with a ready made Photoshop Action that produces the effect automatically with just the click of a button. Choose from 3 levels of detail for your image, then the Action will transform your photo into a realistic engraved illustration. This free Photoshop Action transforms your photographs into realistic engraved illustrations with the click of a button, allowing you to easily create money or wood cut style effects. An unwanted moire effect has appeared on these scaled down preview images, but at 100% scale you can see the fine detail of the engraving lines that build up the illustration with multiple tonal layers. The download package contains the Photoshop .atn Action file and a .pat Pattern file.

How To Create Self-Portrait Sketches by Sebastian Del Grosso I have always been drawn to artistic creation. While traveling with my first Canon EOS in 2011, I also became interested in photography. Because of my work in graphic design, I learned how to be rigorous about details, colors, and emotions that give us an image. My self-portrait sketches are taken inside my apartment, shot in natural light with a Canon 7D, WA 16-35mm f/2.8 or a 50mm f/1.4. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

Trasformare una foto in disegno a matita con Photoshop | Camera Obscura
Da molto tempo stavo facendo esperimenti per convertire una fotografia in un disegno, o più precisamente, per mettere in piedi una procedura di ritocco con photoshop che permetta di simulare un disegno a matita, carboncino, sanguigna, a partire da una fotografia. La maggior parte dei tutorial disponibili online fanno uso di filtri automatici di Photoshop, che per il mio gusto personale sono tutti pessimi, sia quelli artistici, che di stilizzazione, o identificazione bordi. L’immagine ha sempre un che di artificiale, ricorda solo lontanamente le tecniche artistiche cui si ispira, si vede subito che è una foto che è stata filtrata e non un vero disegno e infine tutte le immagini di questo tipo si assomigliano tutte terribilmente fra di loro. La preparazione della fotografia La prima cosa da fare è partire da un’immagine adeguata. Ne consegue che le immagini più adatte sono le immagini grafiche, che funzionerebbero anche solo con bianchi e neri e poche scale di grigi. Il disegno Conclusioni
