Solution: Pencil drawing

“

(gentle upbeat music) - [Instructor] Let's take a look at the solution to this challenge. Well, when I say solution, I mean my interpretation of the solution, because every result in Firefly is going to look a little bit different. Now let me show you the options I used to get to this specific result. First, I came into the aspect ratio options, and I changed this from square to portrait. Then I typed in the folding prompt, a colorful pencil drawing of a lion laying in a field during sunset. Now, I had to make sure I click the art option here because in my case, Firefly, I was interpreting my prompt as a photo and I was not looking for a picture of a lion I wanted a pencil drawing of a lion. Now, I wasn't quite getting the results I was looking for, so I had to go a little bit deeper. So what I did was I scrolled down these options until I saw the effects and I added two specific effects. I add the painting effect and I also add the line drawing effect. Now, if I only use the painting effect, then this result actually looked like a true painting, but I'm looking for a line drawing or at least a pencil sketch. So by adding the second effect on top of the painting effect, I got something that I was actually quite happy with, which means an image that looks like it's sketched, there's a bit of watercolor everywhere, but because of the line drawing effect on top of it, it actually looks more like a potential pencil drawing. Now, how do you get this result from Firefly into Photoshop? It's actually quite simple. You click this option here to access the expert options, and then you choose copy image. Once the image has been copied to the clipboard, simply return the Photoshop, choose edit, and then choose paste to paste the result. Now, this layer came in here on the exact correct location where I envisioned it to be. If this is not the case for you, simply click and drag the layer in the layer stack until it reaches the top on top or above the background layer. It's also not really fitting the entire screen. So let's scale this up a little bit. I'll press and hold down the command T shortcut on the keyboard, which is Ctrl+T on Windows. And I'll just go ahead and just drag these corners outward without holding down the shift key. It should scale proportionally by default. And I'll just quickly reposition this just a little bit, and when I'm done, I'll just hit enter or return to confirm. Now, the last thing that I have to do is I have to blend this image into the background. Now, you might not see this, but there's actually a bit of paper texture in the original background itself, and the pencils also have a drop shadow applied to them. So to blend this image into the background, I'm going to come in here and make sure that layer one, as the pasted image is currently highlighted in the layers panel, and I'll switch to normal blending mode to multiply to actually have a finished version of the effect I'm looking for. And now this is the final version I can share with my customer.
