I was looking for a Photoshop tutorial for something I wanted to try. Totally out of character for me, right? 
Anyway, I didn’t find what I was looking for, but I did come across another tutorial for making line drawings. Naturally I had to try it out.
Here is the original photo for reference:
Here is the black and white line drawing. I had to find a second tutorial to add stubble.
Then I went through and added color.
I’m not happy with how the mouth turned out, but I gave up after I lost count of how many attempts I made to get it right. Oh well, there’s always next time.
Learning, it’s a good thing.
love the stubble!
Me too!
Wouldn’t you all love it if it was YOUR hand on that stubble?
Well done with the line drawings Jas. He’s the perfect model to keep you at it! 
Rhetorical question, right Teuchter? Of course I’d like to have my hand on that stubble!
He is the perfect model. Gotta have someone beautiful to look at and keep me sane as I attempt this stuff. 
I like the b/w one better — and I see what you mean about the lips. But this is a great beginning, no?
I like the black and white one better as well. I think his mouth would be easier with a picture where the lips are slightly parted. They would be easier to define. I do think it was a good start though.
His mouth is so surprising, I can imagine it would be hard to draw anyway.
I love the subbles too.
Hmmm…stubble!
