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.
Eye Sharpening - Photoshop Tutorial
With this tutorial you can create amazing, bright eyes within minutes. First retouch, adjust levels and do all necessary colour corrections on your image. With a Lasso Tool (L) select the eyes (hold Shift key to add to selection). Hit Ctrl+J to copy selection to a new layer. Use Smart Sharpen filter on the eyes, the choice of right settings will depend on the size of your file. Add a layer mask to the sharpened layer, then using a white soft brush on 50% bring back paint only iris’ and pupils to expose the sharpened eyes. Using levels brighten the whole picture and then copy mask from previous layer to select only eyes by holding Alt while dragging the sharpened mask (“layer 1” in the pic) onto the “levels 2” layer. With a Colour Balance set desired eye colour, keep “Preserve Luminosity” ticked, again use copy of previously created mask to select eyes only. Reduce opacity of the colour layer to make the eyes look more natural. And voilà, the image is ready.
