Adobe Photoshop Tutorials from Beginner to Advanced | Psdtuts+ Tutorial photoshop: retrato estilo lápiz o bolígrafo bic Esta es una técnica sencilla pero que aporta grandes resultados si la trabajamos convenientemente. Gran parte del proceso es similar a aplicar sombreado a un dibujo real, por lo que el trabajo sobre las áreas de sombra y la dedicación al degradado de las mismas darán muy buenos resultados si lo hacemos con paciencia. Partiremos de una fotografía la cual desaturaremos para posteriormente aplicarle una capa de ajuste de niveles. Con este primer ajuste queremos sacar las altas luces de la fotografía de tal manera que consigamos un buen contraste entre los medios tonos y las partes más iluminadas. Hay que tener en cuenta que estas zonas no van a ser tratadas con la tinta, por lo que es importante dejarlas lo más contrastadas posible. Una vez que tenemos nuestros grupos hechos pasaremos a enmascarar todo el trabajo. Para ganar algo de intensidad y definición de trazos pasaremos dos pasos altos con gran radio: uno lo pondremos en sobreexponer y el segundo en multiplicar.
