Photoshop Tutorial - A Watercolor Tinted Drawing Effect
Unlike true watercolor, whose origins we can trace back to Joseph William Turner, tinted drawing is a method used by artists to brush light and dark values over a drawing done with india ink. The brushed washes may be done in sepia or black ink, but the drawing can also be stained with transparent watercolors.
Recalculate the original photo file size to about 5.5 megapixels (example: 16" x 22" at 72dpi). After the artistic filters are applied you can bring your finished document back up to a larger file size. Freely outline the subject with the lasso tool at Feather 32 pixels, select Invert and delete to generate a vignette photo. Create a duplicate file.
Choose Filter>Stylize>Diffuse>Anisotropic
Choose Filter>Artistic>Paint Daubs
Choose Filter>Brush Strokes>Spatter
Choose Filter>Texture>Texturizer
The image looks good already but you can further enhance the tinted drawing effect.
