Description
How to create background lineart (the lazy way) in Adobe Photoshop 6.0.Yes, I know I'm out of date. If you're using some version of CS, the process isn't all that different...
Works best with photos with strong lines... like buildings.
You can also add crosshatching and other textures to it on different layers afterwards.

That is a really interesting technique.

Thanks for the tutorial. That building looks like the Newman Centre at the University of Toronto.

School has CS4... but my home program is Jasc. I think it has all that stuff (and a brush I can use to desaturate without trying to find the tool).
Thanks for the tutorial!
