Here is the picture I propose to transform into a sketch...

 

Original image

You can test with this picture by downloading it HERE or work directly with your own image ( for best results be sure it is at least 800x1000 px).

 

PREPARATION


Start by opening your image in PHOTOSHOP ...

Then duplicate it 2 times to obtain 2 new layers.

Name "color" the 2nd layer and "sketch" the one above. Switch off the "Sketch" layer by clicking on its "eye" in the Layers window.

 

PROCESS


Select the "Color" layer, then apply to him Cutout filter (Filter> Artistic> Cutout) ...

 

Set Levels, simplicity and fidelity to your liking ... then confirm your choice.

Now select the layer "sketch" and switch on its "eye"

Check ... the foreground and background colors. They have to be black and white

Apply now the Stamp filter (Filter> Sketch> Stamp) with average values ​​...

Apply immediately cutout filter to "clean up" any stains due to the previous filter.

It only remains to clik in the "blending options" windows and switch the "sketch layer" mode into multiply mode ...

>The end result appears!
