Scan your image at no less than 300dpi. 02 The image will look slightly grainy when being viewed close-up on a monitor. To make it look better, go to Image>Adjustments>Levels. In the dialog box, move the top white arrow on the right towards the left to get rid of any speckles. Depending on your drawing, you may also need to make grey areas darker. Do this by moving the top black arrow along to the left. 03 Duplicate this layer so that it is no longer the background layer, and set the layer mode to Multiply. 04 Create a new layer to be used for colouring the skin and hair, and begin i lling in areas of solid colour and areas i lled with very similar colours. 05 After colouring the skin, hair and smaller areas, highlight the area you wish to add dots to (in this case I’ve chosen the woman’s skin) by using the Magic Wand tool. You may want to expand your selection by a few pixels by going to Select>Modify>Expand. After making your selection, create a new layer. 0 6 Fill your highlighted area by going to Edit>Fill or holding down Shift+F5. It doesn’t matter what colour you use to i ll this specii c area, but a bright colour would be best so that you can see the layer clearly.

Position it over the highlighted layer using the Move tool, then Ctrl+click (or Cmd+click on a Mac) the highlighted layer, which is now below. 08 Once the highlighted layer has been selected, click on the dots layer in the Layers palette then go to Select>Inverse. Press Delete to erase all the dots that are outside the skin layer. 09 Delete (or click on the eye icon next to) the highlighted layer, select the dots layer, then use the Eraser tool to rub out areas outside the now dotted highlighted area. 10 Change the colour of the dots by clicking on the Layer Styles icon at the bottom of the Layers palette and selecting Gradient Overlay from the menu. Choose a gradient colour (select a darker of lighter version of the same colour) then click OK. 11 Create a new layer and merge this with the dots layer by selecting both layers by holding Shift+Ctrl/Cmd+E to merge them. On the Layers palette drop-down menu, set this new layer mode to Soft Light. Duplicate this layer and set this duplicate’s layer mode to Hard Light so that the dots can be seen in better contrast. Create a new layer for the background – this should sit below below the initial line work layer. 12 Fill the background with grey then erase the areas not wanted. Create a new layer on top of the background layer, and repeat the dots instructions cited in Steps 5 to 11 for parts of the background. This time you may want to use solid colour. In the Layers palette, select Layer Styles>Color Overlay. Set the background mode to Linear Burn and create a new layer below it. 13 Use this new layer for brighter colours and lines, which can be added by using the Line tool. You can also repeat the Steps 5 to 11 process for adding dots to the image, then use layer styles to change the colours. There is no right or wrong layer mode at this point. You may prefer Overlay to Soft Light – it’s up to you. 14 Now to add a few highlights. Create a new layer above the dots layer, select a soft brush, set the opacity to 40% and begin painting. You could try creating your own brushes for more diversity and adjusting the opacity of this layer in the Layers palette. 15 Finally, create a new layer for adding the i nal extra sparkle to the image. You could also use the Dodge tool to add highlights to areas that need detail. And now you have the i nished image!
