Take your digital photo and turn it into a sketch with Photoshop.
Adobe Photoshop makes it relatively easy for you to take your favorite digital photos and convert them into good-quality images that look like pencil sketches. With this ability, you can turn your favorite family or pet photos into a homemade coloring book for your children, among other things.
Instructions
1. Open your photograph in Photoshop and save it under another name. Crop or resize your photo as necessary.
2. Create a duplicate layer of your photo. Click "Layer," "Duplicate Layer" and "OK." You now have two layers of your photo, even though it only looks like one on your screen.
3. Select the top layer from the Layer palette on the right-hand side of your screen.
4. Select "Enhance," "Adjust Color," "Remove Color" to turn the top layer of your photo black and white.
5. Duplicate your black and white layer by repeating Step 2.
6. Select your top layer and set Photoshop's blending mode from "Normal" to "Color Dodge."
7. Hit "Ctrl" plus "I" to invert your photo's colors.
8. "Blur" your photo to finish turning it into a sketch. Select "Filter," "Blur," Gaussian Blur," and set the radius to your desired level for your sketch.
9. Save your sketch.
