When the photo is in the program, set the color mode, and then open Illustrator. Create a new document, and place the image into the document. In the Layers Palette, click on the menu, and choose the Template option to set the image to a lower opacity. Then, create a new layer, open the pen tool, turn off the fill color and set the stroke to black. Begin drawing by following the major lines of the image.
