Sketch Effect

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to apply some simple filters that will turn any image into a work of art. Learn how to draw without actually ever drawing!

Begin by opening an image and duplicate it by pressing (ctrl + j).



Then desaturate both layers (ctrl + shift + u).



Next select the top layer and invert it (ctrl +i).



After that, go to filter -> blur -> gaussian blur and set the radius to whatever best matches your image. I went with a radius of 1.5.



Finally, set the blending option of the top layer to color dodge and you should end up with something below.
