Step 23
Next, create your jacket shape using Pen Tool (P). This will need more than one path in a layer. When you’ve finished the first path, you have to hold down “Shift” key while drawing the other path in order to be in one layer. Use #361b0c for its color.
Step 24
Make a new layer (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + N) in front of the jacket shape. Fill it with #7a7a7a and create clipping mask. Then go to Filter > Sketch > Note Paper. Set the Image Balance to 25, Graininess to 10 and Relief to 11 then click OK. Set the blending mode to Overlay.
Step 25
Draw these white parts of cuff, an extra layer of fabric at the lower edge of the sleeve.
Step 26
And black parts.
Step 27
Next, create hands with #ebbda1 color.
Step 28
Create a red rectangle using Rectangle Tool (U). Place it behind the jacket, it will be the belt.
Step 29
Go back to the face. “Cmd/Ctrl + Click” its layer thumbnail to take selection. Then use Elliptical Marquee Tool (M) to subtract the selection. Hold down the “Opt/Alt” and create an elliptical marquee as shown below.
Step 30
When you release your mouse, the face’s selection will be subtracted. Then create a new layer (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + N) and fill it with #ebbda1.
Step 31
Go to menu Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Set amount to 10%, choose “Gaussian Distribution” and check “Monochromatic”. Then create clipping mask (“Cmd + Opt + G”/”Ctrl + Alt + G”).
Step 32
Next, you are going to paint shadow (dark parts) and highlight (light parts) that will form the curve of face. You need to start trying to understand the lighting and the face curve. Now create a new clipping masked layer named “Shadow 1” and set its blending mode to “multiply”. Paint the dark part of the face using Brush Tool (B) with soft rounded brush. Set the opacity to 10% and hardness to 0%. Give #ebbda1 for its color. See image below for reference, the soft dark areas are shown by green arrows. Paint carefully.
Step 33
Next, gradually, choose a darker color to paint the shadow. Create a new layer and create clipping mask then name it “Shadow 2”. Use #d69e7b for this second shadow. And don’t forget to set “multiply” blending mode and paint like before. You can use 20% for brush’s opacity in order to get thicker shadow.

Go to layer palette, put your cursor on the black “front part” of the hat, click to activate it. Then Create a new layer using “Ctrl+Shift+N”. Fill it with black, and then create clipping mask using “Ctrl + Alt + G”. Click menu “Filter > Sketch > Chalk & Charcoal” and set like the example.
