thanx for all the replies its much appreciated. Basically what I did is similiar to trimoons tutorial, with a few different things. I use the history brush with the original photo set to use for it. Then i set the brush to screen and choose a wet media brush and begin stroking away with color gradually increasing or decreasing the opacity to get the effect. I find that if you make the object of attention darker it has a better effect in this case it is the axle. The background was painted in and cloned from some foliage. using the color dodge tool i can highlight edges of the tires and the axle to give it some more definition. now as I near the edge of the paper I gradually decrease the opacity of the foliage to make it lighter as it extends outward. Lastly I may adjust the brightness and or contrast to my liking. Sorry i can't be more specific as with most of my photos I just play with the settings until I like. I guess I should start making notes whenever I work on a photo. Anwyays thanx again

Member Manjumena (Manju) sent me another link to a very neat sketch tutorial at Innographx. It uses a custom Art History Brush preset developed by Trimoon:
I thought I'd give Photoshops art history brush try on a portrait I took of my grandaughter this Easter.
I opened the photo file and added a new layer which I filled with a canvas like color. Then I went to the History pallet and checked the filled layer and activated the base layer....
