Photographs to Photoshop

In one art class they explained to us not to look at lines and to concentrate on the light and dark areas. With the picture as the base layer, I simply highlighted the darker areas and colored them in black.
Once all the dark parts were black I used the original picture to do the shading.

I made this one for a group of friends who were in a local band called "Paper Plane"

On the subject, I also made a music video for them with an old sony handycam.
