An "heretical" B&W ink-pen drawing.


Setting HSV Value over the original.

Same technique for B&W.


Setting Linear Burn on Source.

I love your contributions. Some of them are superb!
Dinasset, your Black and White results are really beautiful.
Also, the three different stroke angles give the image a great effect.
I did this one.

Now I think I understand what you mean. Didn't change the angles.
I was more focused on other effects that apparently don't stand out very much.
Yet no outcome is the same.

The sky with the trees is well done, also the bottom on the other photo.


Issabella, I love your last outcome And I'm glad to see you back.

Welcome back, my friend Isabella. Hope everything is going better with your husband.
And, you re-entered the game with a superb outcome!

Ella, your masterpiece in B&W then HSV Value.

It is beautiful, Diego Especially the value outcome.
In my opinion, it reflects more the atmosphere I wanted to put into the photo manipulation.

Nostalgia.

Dinasset and Ella, Thanks a lot.
I love your last B&W results. Beautiful images.

I'm becoming a fan of Black and White for drawings.
But I admire also other monochrome or coloured outcomes. You and Ella are very nice interpreters.

Dolomiti, again.

Using a figure in a landscape as source.


or, with lighter strokes on the light area:

Pieve di Cadore.

Diego, how can I make more than 2 layers to make more drawing lines?
I make one with T2 and one with T1



this one with a plasma grain merge

"Diego, how can I make more than 2 layers to make more drawing lines?"
Ella, you know I'm not able to write down a readable tutorial, anyhow I will try to explain my steps:
- just decided to have only single strokes (no cross)
- also decided to omit white areas from the outcome
- defined 3 intermediate points between 0 and 255, for instance: 50, 100, 150, but for each image you may choose different points
- hence defined 4 areas: 0-50, 51-100, 101-150, 151-255
- duplicated the BG 4 times
- used threshold to render each of the areas (one per layer) "black"
- applied to each area the "stroking" technique defined in the ink-pen tutorial, but varying the parameters (including the gray colour) to get darkest lines for 0-50, then lighter lines for the next areas up to the lightest lines for 151-255.

Don't know whether understandable enough to let you experiment.

Thank you for the explanation, Diego. I'll try it out one of these days.

Diego, I tested your explanation with several pictures but couldn't find what I was doing wrong.
That's why I searched for a method to get multiple layers with drawn lines at different angles, myself.
I kept some white parts in the result. The light on the chin and the hand of the woman influence the outcome.
There isn't much difference between the two. Still, I like the result.

You found your way, enjoy your creativity; nice result.
