By: Mrs. Hurd

STEP 1• Find and open an

image in Photoshop8x10 200 ppi

• The first step is to desaturate image by hitting ctr + shift + uor >Image > Adjustments >Desaturate.

STEP 2

You should have a black and white picture now.

• Duplicate it. right clicking on it and >Duplicate Layer

• Now invert the new layer Hit ctrl + i or Image > Adjustments > Invert.

STEP 3• Set the blending mode of

the inverted layer to Color Dodge in the layer blending mode dropdown.

This should make the entire picture almost completely white.

STEP 4

• Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur

• Select a radius from a few pixels up to about 30 pixels that looks good for you. I used a radius of 25.4 pixels.

STEP 5• Now you have a black and white pencil sketch which

looks good, but it can be further enhanced by adding a subtle color to it.

• Go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturationand check the colorize checkbox.

Now you can control the color and the strength of the color with the Hue and Saturation handles.
