Tutorial Steps
Step 1
The basics of the scribble arts, move your hand to any direction and avoid one direction stroke movements. use the calligraphic tools then set with no presets.
Tips: you can use draw freehand lines tool (P) too.
Step 2
Import the image in file > import, then click OK.
Scale it down by holding Ctrl+Shift. Then press Ctrl+Shift+R to automate the size of the same canvas size with the images.
Step 3
Next, set the layer. Rename the layer by double click on the layer and changing the name to “Image.”
Create a new layer and rename it “Scribble” (because you will draw in this layer later), lock the image layer by clicking the lock icon, and reduce the opacity to 68%.
Step 4
Now, begin to draw. Focus on the T area, the eyes, nose, and lips. Make it close as possible to the original images.
Result:
Continue to draw all parts of the faces.
Tips: if you work with a light background, for example, white, focus on the dark area of the faces. But if you work with a dark background, for example, black, focus on the light area like this video: Pablo Picasso – Scribble Arts.
