Freehand draw lines over the models. This layer is for the front lines.

step 4 of 5

Reduce brush size by 2 pixels and draw another layer of freehand lines to fill the shapes of the models. This is for behind the front layer.
Delete the "find edges" layer. I just used that as a guide.

step 5 of 5

Layer styles used on both line layers....Bevel and emboss, contour, texture, satin.
Shadow made to match shadow direction of dune grass.
Freehand sand painted around feet and onto model wires using clipping mask.
Dodge and burn layer with clipping mask to dodge and burn wires.
The white layer is just for the sbs so it's easier to see the work on the wires.
