Sketch like you are an ARTIST!

Personally, I find a little effort interesting and sweet, but not to the extent of overdoing it. Thus a little show-off of your artistic capability is a total turn-on! =)

One gift that could make your partner smile is the classic: SKETCH! Well, if you do not know how to draw, I'll be giving you some tips in order for the process to transpire easier.

You will be needing: a paper, a pencil, pentelpen and sign pen. You will also be needing the help of an Adobe Photoshop CS4 for this.

To start, process the Soft Copy of your chosen photo in Adobe Photoshop CS4. Go to Filter, Stamp, then edit your picture wherein only the outline of the photo will be visible. This will then become your guide in your drawing. With this, copying the picture will be easier because the lines are much well defined.

Then you can draw it in 2 ways: The cheat type is you just have to print the picture lightly in another sheet then just thicken the lines and add shading. The other way is that, you can print the picture, add grids to it and then copy it on another clean sheet - With this you can draw your photo in a bigger sheet of paper. By the way, use the pentelpen to shade the hair. What I did was the second option, I really drew the picture from scratch. ^_^ I am not the best artist but at least!!! LOL.

I believe that the real thing is better than the sample shot of my drawing I have posted in here. (defense mechanism!) Anyway, it looked like this... Framing it can add glamor! Hope you both like it!
