Hello everybody . I do not know if this is the right section to ask for a tutorial, guide or help, but here it goes:
I am working on a comic with Grunge style in Photoshop , a short piece of art of 5 pages or so . The idea is to take some photos and pictures, and turns them into comics, applying effects in Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator. But no matter what I do, they do not look as good and realistic as in fact , a comic book (comic , manga , anything would work) . I did some testing with some brushes I picked up, also applying some tones, and here are the results of an altered photo :
Original photo :
Altered photo :
What I did was to turn the image into grayscale , and shifted curves to almost full black and white.
Altered photo by Adobe Illustrator and darkened in Photoshop :
Original:
Altered in Illustrator:
Darkenned at Photoshop version:
Even so , the pictures do not look much like an art to me, or even a drawing . They just seem like pieces of black and white pictures randomly placed together. There is no artistic feel, or appeal on them.
Here is the first page of my comic, the only one I did so far. I did stroke with brushes here and there, like on his clothes to give a better visual appeal:
How do I change these images or create new ones with more artistic, hand drawn appeal? I am sure there must be a way using either Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Maybe I should download some filters? Or more brushes?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
