    Jesus, I've been using Photoshop for 30 years and yet, I've learned SO much from you in just a few videos. You explain everything perfectly and at just the right pace. Everyone making tutorials on any app should use your videos as their tutorial on how to make great tutorials. Thank you!
  • @Rin8Kin
    Great tutorial. Also, the way you accentuating important moments deserves additional mention.
  • @Photoshopfunn
    The step by step instructions are one of the most important parts to a tutorial

  • @AmeliaLeason
    This was immensely helpful and super easy to follow. Thank you!
  • @RaeWakefield
    Thank you so much for your tutorial! I already did this with a photo once, and it's super useful for when I try to improve my realism in drawings! I can see all the pieces where there are thick lines and shadows (This way it's super easy to know which pencil to use haha) super useful!!
  • Thank you for this! I'll be doing this after my exams and assignments to make a template for a watercolor piece I will be doing! Will want this sketch effect for transferring pencil markings (which will be put on the back of the printed photoshop file) so I can have an accurate proportion transfer of an image I made digitally!
  • @rgarlinyc
    Wow! I never knew of the Invert-ColorDodge-Gaussian Blur combination before! Absolutely eye-opening.(I'm still trying to work out just why that works like that...) Thanks a gazillion as ever JesĂșs!
  • Thank you so much for your video! I've been scratching my brain for the past couple of days trying to figure out how to make glowing lines in either photoshop or lightroom and you finally gave me the answer I was looking for. I honestly didn't know how to frame my question in google to search for it and every place searched I came up empty handed. The video was very informative and again thanks for helping find the solution to my problem!
  • @rgarlinyc
    Very cool & creative! I'd tried this effect a couple of time before but was never fully pleased with the results - now I know that was because I hadn't started with threshold ... Yay! Learned something new from you. Again. Thanks a ton, JR!
  • @sunbro6998
    Dude, your tutorials are so dense with information. I love it!
  • @dustyroaddesign

  • Thanks so much for this video! It’s so helpful and you explained it so well x
  • Awesome effect! I liked it so much that I used it to make a Christmas gift for my wife. I can't post it on IG yet because she'll see it, but I absolutely love my results. I promise to post after the holidays so that you can see it. I would love your opinion and critique! Thank you, as always.
