Developing my Self Portrait work. Aging a photo

Aging a photo
to begin with I have scanned in my self portrait drawing
I then clicked Image > Adjustments > Black and White and made the image darker by reducing the red.
I then dragged a Brown paper texture I found on the internet into photoshop, scaled the image and then rasterized the smart object and renamed the layer Brown Paper
I have then Changed the blending mode of the drawing to Colour Burn and reduced the opacity.

I then dragged the brown paper layer beneath the drawing and selected an area of the brown paper using the magic wand tool to delete a section of the drawing layer
I then clicked Select > Colour Range on the Brown Paper layer, dragged the fuzziness to 50 and selected some of the layer.
I then deleted the selection from the Brown paper layer, used the inversed selection and used an transparent eraser on the remaining layer
Finally I used a texturizer filter on the image
