Renaissance Engraving effect on a Photo
I'd like to learn how a Modern Photo of a person or people can be changed to look like an engraving by Albrect Durer or similar Renaissance Artist. I've seen a tutorial online using an Alice in Wonderland image but that isn't quite what I'm looking for. In Art & Design in Photoshop, Steve Caplin mentions using diagonal lines in a crosshatching project, says it takes time but I see no source to learn how to do this. I'd appreciate any help, thanks

Have you tried following the instructions in the book? Where are you coming unstuck?

If you want a quicker solution, you could try Flaming Pear's India Ink plug-in:

I find it does the job really well.

Steve,
thank you for responding. I looked at the CD & on chapter 3, I found that the lines mentioned in the exercise are there. All I have to do is put them to use.
