chose a colourful image of a butterfly for the "drawing"
step 1 of 14
step 2 of 14
scanned in some coloured pencils (careful to choose suitable colours)...
step 3 of 14
scanned in a page from one of my sketchbooks ...
step 4 of 14
rotated the sketchbook image ...
step 5 of 14
sources used for this step:step 6 of 14
masked away the background ...
step 7 of 14
duplicated the masked butterfly layer and converted it to a sketch using a combination of filters and trial and error to get the effect I was after ...
step 8 of 14
to this "sketchified layer" I added a gradient mask so that the unfiltered realistic image in the layer below could show through ...
step 9 of 14
like so ...
step 10 of 14
dropped the pencils in ...
step 11 of 14
In order for the butterfly to look like it was trying to fly off before it was finished, a shadow was necessary under the wing on the right. A drop shadow effect didn't work because I didn't want the shadow to occur under the "sketched" part, so I duplicated the layer and blurred it, desaturated it, and lowered its opacity, gave it some transformation - shifting it around somewhat...
step 12 of 14
pencils need shadows too, this is the drop-shadow effect ...
step 13 of 14
to really complete the delaminated wing effect, I stuck the last pencil in under the wing ...
step 14 of 14
and gave it a shadow too - just copied the same shadow that was applied to the other pencils, and it's all done.
Final result
