With the photo newly opened in Photoshop, we see in the Layers panel that the image is sitting on the Background layer:

Step 1: Duplicate The Background Layer

Go up to the Layer menu in the Menu Bar along the top of the screen, choose New,

choose Layer via Copy. Or, for a faster way to run the same command, press Ctrl+J (Win) on your keyboard:

Go up to the Image menu at the top of the screen, choose Adjustments, then choose

Desaturate:

Step 2: Desaturate The Image

The controls and options for the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer appear in the Properties panel. To remove the color from the image, simply drag the Saturation slider all the way to the left to a value of -100:

This removes all color from the photo, leaving it in black and white

Next, we need to make a copy of our desaturated image. Go back up to the Layer menu,

choose New, then choose Layer via Copy, or press Ctrl+J (Win) on your keyboard, just as we did in Step 1. Photoshop makes a copy of Layer 1, names

it “Layer 1 copy”, and places it directly above Layer 1 in the Layers panel:

Step 3: Duplicate The Layer

In the upper left of the Layers panel, change the blend mode of the Background copy layer from Normal (the default blend mode) to Color Dodge:

Step 4: Change The Blend Mode To Color Dodge

This inverts the image, giving it a film negative appearance:

Next, we need to invert the layer. Go up to the Image menu at the top of the screen, choose Adjustments, then choose Invert. Or, press Ctrl+I (Win) on your keyboard for the shortcut:

Step 5: Invert The Image

The document will temporarily appear filled with white. Depending on your image, there may be

some areas of black here and there, but for the most part it will be filled with white:

After changing the blend mode to Color Dodge, the document appears white.

This next step is where we actually create the sketch effect. Go up to the Filter menu at the top of the screen, choose Blur, then choose Gaussian Blur:

Step 6: Apply The Gaussian Blur Filter

Click OK when you're done to accept your setting and close out of the Gaussian Blur dialog box.

Now add a levals Adjustment layer by going to (image > Adjustment> levels).

Step 8

And We’re Done!

Thank you!
