How to get this effect?

[ruthless1]

Like where the arrows are pointing. Its like a grungy shading, how do you do that?

Hmmm probably by using "noise" in a smart way and you might also want to mess around with the "M brushes" - hope this helps a little, I'm afraid it won't look exactly like it though!

There might be tutorials for this, try googling a little

i'm guessing the actual image itself would be a VERY high resolution vector. so that would bring in the possibility of AI filters and effects rather than photoshop however. it looks like a mixture of noise, photocopy, and Poster Edges overlaid on top of eachother with different setting and the noise layer would have a layer mask to moderate it's position.

Seems like some of the ways I would go about this is the use the pen tool to make an arbitrary shape and then fill it with whatever color. Then duplicate the shape layer, add noise to it and clip it to the below layer. Once you have the effect the way you want, move the clipped layer around using the transform tool.

Like Zeealex said, it's likely a high res vector. However, if you're using Photoshop then Photoshop has different filters you can use to get this effect, or you can use the pen tool, but that might be a bit tedious. I did this real quick with Mezzotint filter and also the one all the way to the right was the noise filter.

As D2AP said the Mezzotint filter would work great for this. Just use a gradient first and you should be able to reproduce this effect nicely.

HaHa!! It's not an "effect" people, it's an old school, shading technique called stippling.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stippling

https://www.google.com/search?num=1...1.0.0.0.0.76.76.1.1.0...0.0...1ac.v5Zl9cFrlCc

Basically it involves a bunch of dots in varying density and opacity, from heavy to light. This gives the illusion of shading, form, and texture.
Their are stippling brushes for PS and probably filters that can do it as well. That being said, the best results you're going to get are from getting in their and doing it by hand. Hope that helps.

Hmmmm... missed this thread....

Stippling it is, Fatboy. I used to do this manually before PS came along.

For anyone interested, here's free PS stippling brushes ... http://bozoartist.deviantart.com/art/Hatching-and-Stippling-Brushes-148829438

edit.... its free stippling and HATCHING brushes .

I mean no offense by this, but from your picture you don't look old enough to remember "before PS came along."

What's the use of knowing PS if I can't edit myself to look younger.... ...

 

[Fatboy73]

LOL! Of course! The site needs to add a head slap duh! I should have known that icon.

Ya but it doesn't incorporate the necessary head slap. It lacks refinement.

Nice tips. Noise may be the best solution to avail such result .
