I really liked the Color Dodge effect. I learned something new, again.

[@HTGGeorge]

That is a neat trick when combined with the negative image.

brilliant George,this is a great help to me as im new to pencil drawing and so glad it can be done in PSE.CHEERS

[@HTGGeorge]

This is also a great way to do some tests before breaking out the real pencil and paper.

[@ChristopherSchrameyer]

This is a really good and useful video. I’ve used the guided edits to create a sketch but never knew how to do it manually. This will be part of my toolkit now. Thanks !

[@HTGGeorge]

You're very welcome! Doing a Pencil sketch manually gives you a lot more control than you get with the guided edit.

[@ChristopherSchrameyer]

@@HTGGeorge since most of the guided edits just output the result without the steps it took, I often try to reverse engineer what those tools do so I can better understand how to them do it myself.

[@HTGGeorge]

@@ChristopherSchrameyer That is a good approach. On this one though I think that the Guided Edit is just using the Pencil sketch filter which isn't as good as this technique.
