Add clipping Adjustment layer with Brightness/Contrast (shortcut or Layer > New Adjustment layer…, then RMB > Create clipping mask).

Now, Hue/Saturation (shortcut or Layer > New Adjustment layer…, then RMB > Create clipping mask).

Let’s Invert it! (shortcut or Layer > New Adjustment layer…, then RMB > Create clipping mask). And it’s ready – hand-drawn foliage.

Step 41
Now you can add some “dramatical” colors. Add Color/Balance layer (shortcut or Layer > New Adjustment layer…).

Step 42
Add Gradient fill adjustment. Set radial gradient, for making more vintage look.

Decrease opacity to 30%, and change blending mode to Overlay.

Step 43
At the end, add Adjustment layer with Brightness/Contrast (shortcut or Layer > New Adjustment layer…). Set levels of darker colors.
