Scribble Tutorial - Photoshop

Follow this step-by-step easy tutorial on how to make your very own scribbles on Photoshop!

Step One

Find any image you would like to scribble. If this is your first time, a basic image would be easier. Copy the image and paste it in photoshop. We will be using this image:

Once it is pasted onto photoshop, it should be on Layer 1. Make a new layer by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+N, or Layer>>New>>Layer. It should look like below:

Step Two

Click on Layer 1 (Your original image) and lower the Opacity to about 30%. It should be a bit faded, but you can still at least see the outline of it. Should be like something below:

Step Three

Click back to Layer 2 and make sure you are using the Pencil Tool. Since the monkey is pink, i'm going to use the color pink. Start scribbling around the monkey following the outline of the image, like below. You can zoom in to make it a bit easier:

Continue scribbling the whole monkey, matching the same colors and following the outline of the faded image. Usually the face is solid, NOT scribbled. So you can color that in by using the paint bucket tool instead. This is the result once its complete:

Step Four

Delete Layer 1, and you should now only end up with your scribble. Voila! You're done =)

Another way you can scribble is by outlining only the edges of the monkey, and using the Paint Bucket and colouring the inside solid. You can compare them here:
