I work in Sketch-Up a lot creating urban streetscapes and such as I am the graphics person at a community planning consulting firm. Sketch-Up is great for quickly drawing and creating 3D models of screens; however, it is not good for producing a great looking final image to show to a client. What I want to do is export a 2D graphic from Sketch-Up and make it look like it was hand drawn. I am semi-proficient in Photoshop, meaning I can follow a tutorial and be able to tweak and apply what I learned to fit my needs but I can't seem to find something that gives me what exactly what I'm looking for. I've uploaded an image that represents the style I am looking for. This one was done by hand on tracing paper. I can't draw by hand to save my life so I want to create the model in Sketch-Up, export the screen as a JPEG, load into Photoshop and process to make it look like it was done by hand.
I've created a shared sketch and have used it with various features. Sometime those features are suppressed. The model works fine but the shared sketch generates a sketch doctor error because the feature that created it has been suppressed. Is there anyway to make the sketch suppressed so it doesn't trigger a sketch doctor error? Inventor 2013
How do I duplicate the 2D line work from a part level sketch into a drawing level (overlay) sketch?
I started a simple 2D piping system diagram sketch by opening a new part file and using a sketch to stick draw the system schematic including some annotations. Then I opened a new drawing file and made a base view of the part file to bring a view of the original sketch into the drawing.
I realize now that it would have been much easier to have created the schematic directly in a 2D sketch at the drawing level, which would have made editing the annotations much easier at the drawing level, and there is really no need for the part file to exist. I have no intention of creating a 3D model or "real" part in the .ipt file, was just using it as a jumping off point to sketch.
I was thinking that I could correct my error in judgment by just copying the sketch and pasting it into a new sketch on the drawing, but it doesn't want to work that way. I have tried copying both the whole sketch at the browser level, and the entire sketch contents (all of the lines and annotations) from the opened part sketch, but when I attempt to paste either of those into the drawing, paste does not seem to be an option. I'd rather not have to draw the whole thing again, as in typical fashion, my once simple sketch has grown in proportion and complexity from its simple beginning.
I'm having trouble with constaints, I'd like to constrain my sketch to a point in another sketch on a different plane. Is this posible in Inventor? If so how? If Inventor works differently how would you get a points in one sketch to be linked to points another?
I'm using photoshop cs6 on windows 7.  Ok so my image size is about 24x20 and when I save the output of the image is almost half the size. The project has a lot of details so it looks like a big blob shrunken down to half size. I've played around with the settings for hours in save for web option and I get the same results. how to save so the output is nearly the original size, or just so you can see the details!
I am learning to make some texture, then found that there isn't sketch filter in Photoshop CC, which is available in many previous versions. how to get this sketch filter?
used various tehniques for doing her colouring, the main one being builing up colour with the air brush using separate layers for each colour. Using this method, she is doing all her highlights and shading using additional airbrushed layers with lighter of darker shades as necessary. Whilst this produces some great results, things always tend to look a little airbrushed and soft.
how can produce textures such as cloths etc?
I have tried using the texturiser etc but they don't look any good cos the textures are uniform and don't follow the shape of the image.
i have a picture of a black gun laying on white carpet. Im wanting to filter the the image with note book, graphic pen or photocopy but its telling me the background and foreground colors need to be different. I have tried erasing the background(white carpet).
I have seen the photos to sketch tutorials before, but on the front of espn.com right now, I'm not sure if those are up the same alley or if they are drawings of those players on the front page.
Not sure how to really describe, other then i have recently (because of my playing with Photoshop) gotten back into some doodling, I have seen a few posts here and there of people doing hand sketches and transfering them to photoshop and "painting" them.
My big issue atm would be getting the outline darkened and cleaned up, I know my pictures are a bit "rough." Everytime i try to sharpen the outline it gives me a kinda black and white esque photo copier effect, I know i could probably skip this step and just ink the original and work from that, but is there a way it would work on here?
Here is an example of the pick i'm working with now, just a simple sketch i did in a couple free minutes the other day.
I have photographs of mine that I would like to use as sketches in my textbooks. Do you know how I can create a sketch/drawing effect of photographs with photoshop?
I've taken photos of a handdrawn picture (i can also scan if needs be) but want to colour the picture in Photoshop. What is the best way to really simplify the image into black lines and a white background, for me to fill in the sections. So far, it is noticing in difference in colour from pixel to pixel so it wont let me do big fills..
While attempting a tutorial out of Scott Kelby's "Down and Dirty Tricks" for Photoshop CS, I could not get the History Brush to operate. When I clicked on it and touched on the canvas all I got was a 'No Entry' sign and a messeage that read "Could not use History Brush because current canvas size does not match that of history state."
I have a black sketch on white background (jpg.file) and want a transparent background so that I can place the black line drawing only onto another background.
I want to save it this way to use on mulptiple designs.
My buddy(tattoo artist) has a pencil drawing that he wants cleaned up, and printed for a tattoo.
Other than all the manual goodies are there any quicker methods? He has a big ol stack of drawings and I dont want to work on them all if I have to do everything touch up here and touch up there.
