Description

Another image of my dad's 100 year old Eberhard Faber mechanical drawing set. Background is an old technical drawing. I used smart blur (edges only, with layer then inverted) to create a line drawing effect, roughly erased over the insruments to bring back some colour, and applied a sepia filter and sandstone texture.
