Step 1

Firstly download this image http://www.sxc.hu/photo/429996

Open up the image in Photoshop and go to Image, Image Size and enter 1600 into the Width box.

Duplicate this layer by pressing Ctrl/Apple and J.

Step 2

The car is slightly too light so go to Image, Adjustments and click on Levels. Drag the middle slider to 0.9 or enter 0.9 into the box.

Now create a new layer and select a large brush (something around 200 – 300px will do). Choose the colour black and then brush around the car.

Set this layer’s style to Soft Light. Your image should like this.
