Hi guys,

Here's a little tutorial on how to apply a texture to an object/drawing in photoshop...

I made some print screens to illustrate this...the quality is not great...but I hope it shows what I'm talking about...

First pick out an illustration and a texture.

Open the files in photoshop and copy/paste the texture layer on top of the illustration.

1. Select the layer with the illustration and select the area where you want to apply texture. I use the magic wand for this. In the example I'm selecting the dress.


2. With the illustration layer still highlighted...go to Select -> Inverse.  This will make the texture outside the dress disappear but keeps the texture inside the dress (after delete in step 4).


3. Now highlight the texture layer.


4. Press delete on your keyboard...and tada...


5. To finish...play around with the blending modes...In this example I used 'Multiply' ...this makes the texture blend in with the illustration...

Well that's it...I hope it makes sense...
