Use photoshop and make any image look like a sketch. This tutorial will show you how to take an image and apply a sketch effect on it. I will be using the photo below in this tutorial.

Step 1 – Start photoshop and open the Home Simpson photo. To do this, click “File” >> “Open” >> then select the Home Simpson photo.

Step 2 – Duplicate the Layer. In the layers tab, you will see your image named “Background”. You will want to duplicate this layer by clicking “Layer” >> “Duplicate Layer”. Name the new layer “homer_simpson1″. You layers should look like the image below

Step 3 – Desaturate the layer you just created. To do this, click “Image” >> “Adjustments” >> “Desaturate”. The photo should look like the image below.

Step 4 – Duplicate the desaturated layer. To do this, click “Layer” >> “Duplicate Layer”. Name the new layer “homer_simpson2″. You should have a total of three layers and your layers should look like the image below.

Step 5 – Invert the Image. You will now invert the “homer_simpson2″ layer. To do this, click “Image” >> “Adjustments” >> “Invert”. The layer should look like the image below.

Step 6 – Change Blend Mode to “Color Dodge” on the layer. To do this, click “Layer” >> “Layer Style” >> “Blend Options” >> select “Color Dodge” from the Blend Mode drop down.

Step 7 – Apply the Gaussian Blur to the layer. To do this, click “Filter” >> “Blur” >> “Gaussian Blur”. Change the Radius to 9.0 pixels. The image should look the same as the image below. You now have an image that looks like a sketch!!!

Enjoy ^^
