Turning Photo into a Sketch!

  • Open one of your favaorite photos which you would like to turn it into a sketch in Photoshop.
  • Duplicate the existing background layer by dragging the background layer and drop it onto “Creating a new layer” button (the second one from the right). You now have 2 layers.
  • Click on Image > Adjustments > Invert
  • You will get a creepy-looking photo.
  • At the “Layer Blending Mode” Selection, choose “Color Dodge.”
  • Click on Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur
    Set “Radius” = 2
  • Your photo becomes a little blurred now.
  • Click on “Create a new layer” button to create a new layer
  • At the new layer, press (Alt + Ctrl + Shift + e)at the same time to combine all the layers – but still keeps the old ones.
  • Goto Image > Adjustments > Threshold
  • Set “Threshold Level” = 250
  • Finally, a nice sketch will be produced using these simple methods.
