Your tutorials have helped and inspired me a lot for many years! Thanks!

Absolutely brilliant. I have watched a few other tutorials on this topic and have been disappointed because they use a method that works for a specific photo and a background but isn't flexible enough to be used for other images. The other tutorials are always lacking important info. This tutorial nails it and the steps are clear AND makes it easy while universally applicable. Now that I have finished - it's time to hit the subscribe button and the bell notification!

Good video but I really wish people wouldn't put music in the background of tutorial vids. Its distracting, and if you're watching on a laptop (ie with the sound coming through laptop speakers) then it actually gets in the way of hearing the voice over properly.

I really like your tutorials because they are very "to the point", you don't waist any time. So many other tutorials drag on and on, I find myself trying to skip ahead.

Thanks for this tutorial! I was able to get this working with Gimp and Inkscape (woot!) and it looks fantastic!

[Fancylooks]

This is fantastic, WOW, what a great technique an what a good explanation, you have wonderful skills, please, keep sharing them!

[A_Jel]

Awesome this is beautiful. I kinda like that it's not super fast/easy - the final result is well worth the multi-step process.

[tfranxx]

Man this is awesome! Works brilliant, Thanks!

[redBANG]

Fantastic tutorial, not a single excessive word!

[arnaldofoto]

Super useful, I just tried it and worked perfect. I'm so grateful.

[giosilagadze]

the best tutorial i have ever seen so far. great job.

[IllusionSector]

Many thanks, Chris.
While, as you humbly noted, it's not quite the same as hand-drawn crosshatching, (particularly of the style where the curves keenly conform to the subjects features) the results are surprisingly impressive.
Well done!

AHHH MY




(great tutorial but I don't know how you did you this w/o going insane from tedium and the eye strain)

[christopherg.]

Never mind Chris, figured it out! You're the best & thank you for putting this guide online!!

[colmdodd]

Really useful thanks so much. One minor suggestion would be, if possible, to slow down a bit. I found myself having to replay sections over and over and zoom in to the screen so that I could actually follow what you were doing and what tools you were using. Appreciate all the hard work.

This gives such a effect and the output is incredible. Thanks for the brilliant tutorial.
