Select the brush tool.
Change the size to a suitable pencil to draw with. Also change the hardness to 100% Make sure it is black. You are now ready to start drawing! Trace over your photo, go into as much detail as you can, but keep your lines loose and scruffy like the artist. Use the magnifying class to zoom in if you need to! |
Finished?
Save your work to your area.
Print it to IT4 if it is just black and white... OR to AVA MFD TECH if you have some colour splash details.
