In case you haven’t noticed yet, the hand drawn style is one of the hottest design trends. There are several ways to create hand drawn images — you can create it from scratch in Photoshop or you can scan an actual hand drawn sketch. Personally, I like to use a scanned drawing because you get a realistic drawing texture. Here is a quick tutorial to show you how to create a hand drawn design in Photoshop using the blending mode and alpha channel.

1 Create From Scratch in Photoshop

If you have a tablet, you can simply draw the sketch by using the brush tool.

tablet

Don’t Have a Tablet?

If you don’t have a tablet, you can create the artwork in Adobe Illustrator and then imitate a hand drawing effect in Photoshop.

First draw a vector illustration. Then import it in Photoshop. Use a grungy brush and gently erase select parts of the image. Use the Blur tool to create the smug effect.

digg it sketch

2 Scan It

The easiest way scan the drawing and set the layer blending mode to Multiply.

Invert Color

If you want to have a white color stroke instead of black go to menu Image > Adjustments > Invert (or press shortcut Cmd+i) and then select Screen blending mode.

Step It Up: Create Color Gradients

What if you want more than just a black or white stroke (ie. colors gradients)? Then you will have to extract the drawing from the white background. A simple way to do this is by using alpha channel.

  • Copy (Cmd+C) the drawing.
  • In the Channels palette, create a new channel. Then paste the drawing in the new channel.
  • Invert (Cmd+i) the channel layer.

alpha channel

Go back to the Layers palette, create a new layer. Go to menu Select > Load Selection. In the Load Selection prompt box, select Channel: "Alpha 1" (which is the name of the alpha channel I created earlier).

alpha channel

Shortcut Tip: the shortcut for loading a channel selection is Cmd + Opt + any number key (ie. 1, 2, 3). Learn more Photoshop shortcuts.

Fill Selection

With the channel selection loaded, you can fill it with any color.

Using It In The Design

For the purpose of this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to incorporate your hand drawing on a female model (the photo was purchased from iStock).

drawing on a female model

1. First, cut out the model.

2. Fill the background with some sort of light glowing gradients.

3. Paste the drawing on top of the model. Lock the layer transparency. Play around with the color gradients.

4. Duplicate the drawing in the background to add more details to the image.

i’ve been using the pen tablet technique for some time in order to get the school-style handwritten words on my site. it works well and is reasonably fast to implement.

Molly Oakley
Jul 1, 2008 at 1:53 pm

Great stuff! I just have one question, though. For the gradient part with the alpha channels tutorial, you say to first Copy (Cmd+C) the drawing. Do you mean to ctrl + click the layer thumb and copy the selection of drawing’s outline, or to copy the drawing after pressing ctrl + a (or something else)? I’m just trying to figure out exactly what I’m copying at this step.

Thanks again for all of the tips! I love getting the chance to learn new Photoshop skills!

Do a lot of designers use tablets? I’ve heard a number of designers say that they prefer using a mouse.

I never even really gave thought to scanning an image in. I’ll have to give it a try and see how it comes out.

Thanks for this post.

Nice little post – not being a truly skilled manual illustrator (i received the training but lack the patience), I’ve been especially fond of the quick sketch methods for a while now to incorporate with more lofty designs. It doesn’t work in all situations, but I’ve gotten some great results that I’m happy with – and the elements make for great additions to everything from wallpaper to little human touches on major corporate websites. Glad to see some stuff being written about this.

why are you using my pictures for your website …. that my pictures .. you did not ask my. thanks emily
this is the link in your web site please take it off.

the least you can do is ask me
[email protected]

cyuxi
Dec 23, 2008 at 6:46 pm

to EMILY LIZ

I think what you should do is to send an email to the web master asking about your issues instead of posting comment here, because the comment is usually not going to be read in time.

Johnny
Dec 23, 2008 at 11:43 pm

Nice tutorial, thank you! I can see using this one a lot.

To Emily Liz: It seems your photographer sold this photo of you as “royalty free”. That means when a designer buys the image, they do not have to seek permission to use it. If you did not agree with your photographer for this, ask the photographer to remove your images from their sales listings, otherwise, you could find yourself on any ad for anything at all.

everything’s fine until I have to fill the lines and make them gradient …
I do everything right, I select the “Alpha 1” … and then? the page is still black and the lines are still white :(( …and if I try to fill with a gradient it fills the entire page but the lines are still white..
