Tried that and it sucks

Tryth is best i’ve seen so far

Photo to drawing.

Shift + Ctrl +U
then Ctrl + J
then Ctrl + I
then in your layers palette change mode to colour dodge then go to Filter Blur/gaussian blur.
Move the slider till you like what you see.

Very cool technique, will remember it… thanks buddy.
But while it makes a nice overall drawing effect, it didn’t create the sharper line drawing effect I was looking for.
I’m looking for a way to get a photo into a nice b&w line drawing, so I can continue with the coloring & halftoning in the comic book type tutorial I mentioned before.
I wanna create nice sharp comix from photos like these:

No plugin or method can give you 100% transition every time, it will always need some artistic input.

You need to become proficient with the pen tool, paths, stokes and fills, while you can continue in photoshop I’d recomend that after you get it to this stage moving the image into illustrator as it’s pen tool is infinatly more controlable in several ways.

Oh and buy a Wacom tablet too, should stop you going insane using a mouse.

Yeah… I was kinda thinking that myself while looking closer at the examples on that pop art site.
Some of it kinda looks more like vector lines in a few cases. Just thought there was possibly an easier method thru Photoshop of just getting the line art done. I tried illustrator’s new trace feature, tracing in Coreldraw, and a few other things, but can’t seem to get the lines as nice and pristine as the original comic tutorial.. Guess I’m gonna have to try using the threshold or something to sort of flesh it out, then trace over what I want as lines with a pen tool etc.
But thanks for your input.

Already got one, thanks again buddy.

My original question still stands though for anyone out there who just may have a bit easier solution to getting the line art done.
