sure! i followed a tutorial in the beginning, but the person who posted it deleted their blog, so i sadly can\u2019t link you to the tutorial. i can try to explain it though.<\/p>\n

there\u2019s three ways you can go about this: photoshop or photoscape or use both. i use both, and i\u2019m starting with photoscape.<\/p>\n

load the image into the editor:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

at the bottom, click onto the button that says \u201cbright, color\u201d (don\u2019t click on the arrow on the right) to change the contrast of the image. it\u2019s not mandatory to use the same values i used as it varies from image to image. you can also try to change other options, just make sure it looks kind of high in contrast at the end (make dark parts really dark and light parts really light).<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n
\"image\"<\/figure>\n
\"image\"<\/figure>\n

then sharpen the picture. it\u2019s probably best if you use something along these values:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n
\"image\"<\/figure>\n
\"image\"<\/figure>\n

now go back to the button that says\u00a0\u201cbright, color\u201d, but this time click on the arrow. from the list that pops up, choose\u00a0\u201cthreshold\u201d and change the value until you get a nice result.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n
\"image\"<\/figure>\n
\"image\"<\/figure>\n

save the image and load it into photoshop. make a second layer. draw on the new layer with white over the parts that you do not want in the image<\/p>\n

(please don\u2019t draw on the layer of your image.)<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n
\"image\"<\/figure>\n

depending on how plain the background is, maybe you can even leave it. i erased it completely, and now it looks like this:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

add a speech bubble (i drew this one freehand, but you might as well use a tool to draw it):<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

and finally, add text and textures:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

i used the same texture twice with different gradient maps. here\u2019s what my layers look like:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

and that\u2019s basically it! like i said in the beginning, you can technically do all the steps in either photoshop or photoscape, but i find it easier and quicker to do the first steps in photoscape when you have many images, while it is easier to clean and add text and textures in photoshop afterwards.<\/p>\n

also, it depends a lot on your caps and how much you change the contrast etc beforehand, but it can happen that you\u2019ll have to redraw a lot. for my makoharu edit i mostly had to redraw the hair, for the rinharu edit i had to redraw a lot of little things. so\u2026 be prepared\u2026 for the redrawz<\/p>\n

good luck and have fun!!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
