Let’s set the transform settings.

• Then a copy of the previously drawn line diagram is creating vertically. Go through the Edit > Cut and open a new layer. Please select it and press Ctrl + F on the keyboard

To hide the layer, click on the eye icon next to it.

Adjusting lines to shape

         First, the lines should adjust to the outer shape.

To do so,

• Select the Selection Tool from the toolbox
• Now adjust the line so that only the section of hair is in place.
• In this way, more the lines through the selection tool until the outer shape of the face reached

• Next, you need to create lines to match the way the light and the dark parts of the face spread

• The scissor tool should use for this purpose

Using the Scissor Tool

• First, select a line and choose Scissor Tool
• Click on the part where the end of the dark side of the face. Again, click on where the dark part of the line begins. Then cut these parts of the line
• Also, select the line through which most of the light falls through the selection tool. Press delete key and delete it

In this way,

• Remove the lines of the face from greater parts of the face and rearrange the lines on the dark areas.
• You should then draw lines across the eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips to get the right look on the face

Now the vertical lines should make in the same way.

• Hide this layer and highlight the vertical line
• Create outer lines using the selection tool as before
• Then improve the look of the design by setting lines in the darkened areas and removing lines in the dark as before

Draw the line shape

         In the end, highlight both the lines and hide the original Image. Then you will see only the design.

If there are shortcomings, replace the lines with the new line or fill in the blanks.

Now add color to the lines and enhance the beauty of the design.
