We have another Psd Premium tutorial exclusively available to Premium members today. If you want to take your hand-drawn art into Photoshop, and learn to combine those hand-traced images, and textures into stunning illustrations, then we have an awesome tutorial for you. Learn more at the jump!
This Premium Tutorial is Filled with Creative Tips
Incorporating hand-drawn artwork with Photoshop is a trend that’s been around for a while. It’s a style that instantly gives your work an edgy feel – and it translates well for both print or web-based projects.
I’ve supplied all the hand-drawn artwork to complete this tutorial, but you’ll learn more and inject some personal flair by creating your own sketches and doodles. As you’ll discover, we’ll be tracing the main image of the model, so you don’t necessarily need to be a talented artist to achieve a great end result. I’ll walk you through all the details of putting this together.
Tutorial Details
- Program: Adobe Photoshop CS3 or later
- Program: Adobe Illustrator CS2 or later

Love me some water colors
It’s nice to see different media in a TUT. I’m bulding a website using practically the same technique (with the water colours).
Looks delicious, Plus Tut Membership is calling…
Looks interesting. It’s always nice to have a combination of work done by hand and digital manipulation.
COOOL thanks a ton
Yay… These are the tuts that I know and love… and the reason for getting a membership. Thanks for adding more quality plusTuts!
Like it a lot, like the fist guy to comment I also am making a website with same technique.
This Tut will be very handy for me, Just at the right time

This tutorial kinda reminds me of the other one that is slightly like it in technique/pictures.. definitely very cool though, makes me want to collage a bunch of sketches together..

Looks awesome! Just the typography, in my opinion, could be a bit more defined, more feminine and curvy.
Your illustration reminds me of Raphaël Vicenzi’s work. I have a post about these type of watercolor fashion illustrations: http://www.caramelink.com/20-exquisite-watercolour-illustrations
Hi.
Im stuck with step no.20. I really dont know what I am doing wrong. I used pen tool and select the whole model under substract from path area. But than I dont know what do next. Do I need to use pen tool under Trace layer or Off white fill layer? Do I have to cut or what? My whole paper is seen on the picture.. And if I choose color you prefered and fill the picture .. it cant seem to fill the whole model, but i need to use bucket tool to color it myself. Can somebody help me please.. i really want to learn this.
I would really appreciate it,
Thank you,
deep
Good example of blending mixed media!
