Pencil sketch
Would you like to draw a pencil sketch? You are not good at drawing? Well, it doesn?t matter, follow me, please.
Step 1: Open your image in Photoshop, Choose Image->Adjustment->Desaturate (or Ctrl+Shift+U by default) to make the photo to black-and-white.
Step 2: Click Layer-> Duplicate Layer, duplicate the background as background copy.
Step 3: Use Image->Adjustment->Invert (or Ctrl+I by default), then the image will look like a negative.
Step 4: From the layer palette, set the blending options as Color Bodge.
Step 5: Choose Filter->Blur->Guassian Blur, set the radius 4 pixels.
Step 6: Don?t forget to merge the layer at last. So, everything is done!
