Hi all,
I have a photo of a church that I would like to convert to simple "pencil contours" of the structure, not B&W but as if it was penciled
Any way to achive such effect ?
TIA !!!
Are you ready?
Open your image and copy the layer ctrl+J (never work on your background layer)
With the top layer selected (active) go to Filter>Blur>Smart Blur. Quality needs to be high and the mode is edge only.
The radius about 20-30 and the threshold about 20. Experiment with these settings as different image resolutions will give differing effects As a guide, the lower the threshold the more lines you will generate. When you commit the settings the image will go black with white lines on it. Ctrl+I will invert this to black lines on white field. Don’t forget, play aroungd with the settings.

I haven’t tried Toobi’s method yet, and if his method does what you need, then that’s good.
The method I use to achieve a pencil drawing effect is one that I got from somewhere on the Net.
Open the photo then duplicate it to a new layer.
Go to Image….Adjustments….Desaturate.
Duplicate this layer, then go to Image….Adjustments….Invert.
For this layer select Color Dodge.
Now go to Filter….Blur….Gaussian Blur and set it 2.1 pixels.
