The more I look at this type of line art the more it looks like a halftone / engraving effect but with more possibilities because the line pattern can be created by the user.
Yes! This is a much easier method. Mine involved several layers using Paste Alpha, Gaussian Blur, Color inversions, Changing layers modes to Reflect, Overlay, Level adjustments... It was a trial and error method, that is why I got lost.
Hi Carla,
That is a cool effect. I think I managed to achieve something that looks like the art effect you need but the thing is that I do not remember how I did it ( I am getting old and my short memory is not good anymore).
I also had a "Preview Timeout". Perhaps because I have a very old PC it took over 5 minutes to render once I pressed the OK button. I am very impressed by the final result but frustrated by the time it took.
