Description
Edit: Easier way to do this, since im to lazy to m ake a new tutorial. I have only done this in photoshop.Click on the character layer while you hold ctrl, it will automatically select the shape, then go up to the layer with the texture and click on the mask icon.
------------
Ive gotten alot of questions on how i do this, and its about time i did a tutorial on how to do it xD

are the layer over the character? if so you probably need to select inverse if it only selects what is around the character, you do that when the background is selected you then click select inverse, or you can hold ctrl in and click on the layer where you have the character and it will automatically select it.

Awesome tutorial, super helpful for really anybody who wants this cool texture on their piece.

This is a really awesome tutorial. The only step I can't figure out is this one "Now use the magic wand to select the black shape and click onto the texture while still having that shape selected." For some reason my mind just can't comprehend that ;m;

xD when the shape is selected click on the layer with the texture

I love photoshop. But Sai is just as ok to use if your just going to draw with it

I'm not sure if this will help anyone or not, but the way I do this is magic wand tool the character (select inverse if needed so just the character is selected) Find your texture, select it and ctrl c to copy. Then go back to your character and go edit - paste into. Then set it to over lay.

xD haha thats what I do now aswell after having the texture on a diffrent layer

This is really helpful, but I still can't get it to work-I tried to use PS Elements 6 and it didn't even have a layer mask button, so I went to PS Elements 9 and it did, but I still couldn't get it to just show up on my art and not the background~
I can get up to the magic wand part, but after that it just befuddles me ^^' I apologize for troubling you.

hm like does it go invisible or? are you sure you selected the right areas?

Essentially I reached the point where I created the copy of the picture and made it have the -100 lightness. Then I used the magic wand to select that black piece...from there is where I can not get the mask to appear on the texture layer...

Ok when you have the black shape selected, then go to the texturelayer, and click on the tiny box with the white circle in it icon. And then set the texture as overlay and hide/delete the black layer that covers your drawing

i had to go to a different version of PS because my original didn't have that option o-o but now it's working great and you're just a totally patient and amazing teacher <3 thank you so much!
