Wood Grain Pattern

This week we learnt how to create a Wood Grain Patterned image in Photoshop.

The first step was to draw an image with duel lines, so it was almost in a stencil fashion. We could go over the lines with a fine liner to darken them if we wanted. Then, we scanned the image in and opened it in Photoshop. If need be, we could use the Levels and Curves tools to adjust the light and dark within the image. Then, we used the bucket tool to fill in where colour was needed.
The next step was to find an image of wood grain and save it. Then we had to desaturate the image by going to Image, Adjustments and then finally Desaturate. Next, I changed the background on Photoshop to a new layer and placed the wood grain layer beneath this layer.
Then I changed the layer's properties to Linear Burn and this was the final result.
