Open the original image, duplicate it one layer, and use the pen tool to cut out the rough outline of the car, as shown in Figure 1 below.

2. Then dig down. My habit is to start with the easy ones first and continue to use the pen to pick out the unnecessary ones. When I got to the steel wire of the wheel, I got a little hot-headed. At this time, calm down first. If I use the pen to pick out again, it may be a waste of time. For less time, let’s change the method and use straight lines to trace (idea: since you can’t cut it out, just follow the original drawing, because the steel wires are all straight)

Select the straight line tool as shown in Figure 2, and set it as shown in Figure 3

(To highlight the color of the lines here, I used brighter colors) and drew straight lines as shown in Figure 4. The completed effect is shown in Figure 5

7. After the steel wire is drawn out, we will use the pen tool to delete other unnecessary parts to get the final effect!
