: Photoshop image fading and background effect I believe it's easy to do, but I am missing some details. Somehow, my results are not what I'd wanted them to look like. How to draw illustrational

The fade is best done using masking.
(The example you gave actually has some poor cloning in it, but that's irrelevant)

Basically:
1) Create a new layer mask

2) Select the gradient tool (G)

3) Drag out your gradient, make sure it's the "black to transparent" gradient.

Here's an image:


As for the line, I recommend just using the pen tool. If you want your lines to "fade out" just use masking! It looks like you're doing a great job already :]
