The pattern has been designed in advance. Beginners can draw a sketch on the cloth shoes with a pencil, paying attention to the overall layout of the pattern. For beginners, you must first make contact on paper. You can draw the pattern you prepared on the paper first. The method of graffiti on Converse canvas shoes is as follows:

1. Use a brush to outline the edges of the pattern. Be careful not to misplace it when drawing.

2. Paint the pattern with water-resistant pigments. You can add a little water to the color to adjust the depth. (In this step, moisture control is very important to prevent the color from melting. When applying color, be careful not to touch the upper when the color is not dry, causing the picture to be messy.)

3. Paint different colors according to the pattern, or you can create a layered effect of colors, and then outline the edges. After painting, outline the edges of the pattern again, and you will have a clear pattern.

4. After the pattern is finalized, place it in a cool place and let it dry naturally or with a hair dryer.

Graffiti effects and PS operations:

1. Create a new 850×630 pixel picture. Of course you can also set other sizes for your PSD file, but you must set all the sizes used in this tutorial to the proportions and import the brick wall image in a new layer. You may need to resize the image based on your canvas size.

2. In a new layer, import the graffiti wall texture. You may need to resize the image based on the size of your canvas. Click the second icon at the bottom of the Layers panel, add a mask to the graffiti wall layer, set the foreground color to ##000000, and click on the Brush Tool. Use a Grunge brush to paint the inside of the mask to hide part of the graffiti effect and reveal the brick wall.

3. Add the portrait image in a new layer. Use the Magic Wand Tool to select the background outside of the portrait. Set the tolerance to 10 and be careful to check adjacent areas. Keep the Shift key pressed to make multiple selections. Press the Delete key to remove the selected background.

4. Press Control and J at the same time to duplicate the portrait layer, duplicate it twice, and name the new layers Portrait 1 and Portrait 2. Hide these two newly created layers. Click the eye icon next to any layer on the layer control panel to hide/show the layer. Return to the portrait layer and enter the layer style. Select Stroke, adjust the size to 4 pixels, select Center for position, and set the color. Set it to #000000

5. Go to Filter>Artistic Effect>Woodcut. Select Levels 8, Edge Simplification 0, Edge 3, and go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Posterization. Adjust the Levels to 5. Click the third button from the left to turn this adjustment into a clipping mask for the layer below.

6. Change the blending mode of the graffiti effect layer to Color Dodge, and click the second icon at the bottom of the layer control panel to add a layer mask to the graffiti effect layer. Click on the Brush Tool and use the Grunge Brush to paint the inside of the layer mask with the color # to hide some details.
