Digital Arts – Features – Transform a photo with hand-drawn effects in Photoshop.

From Digital Arts Mag online…

We’ve all witnessed the horrors of overenthusiastic use of Photoshop filters – it’s all too easy to mutilate an image beyond recognition and then add a layer of cheese if you get carried away.

However, that doesn’t mean you have to steer clear of filters completely: when used with skill, imagination and a light touch they can be a quick, easy way to transform photos, and can have some creative, unexpected results. In this tutorial, you’ll learn a simple way to transform an ordinary photo into a cool, Bond-inspired illustration – in under 20 minutes.

We’ll use a stock photo that can be downloaded for a small cost and custom brushes to achieve an effect that is both straightforward and versatile.
