I am wondering if there is a filter or technique available that will allow me to turn a portrait photograph into a fake pencil drawing, as a colleague of mine recently bought one of these drawings for £80.00, and I wanted to prove to him that its possible in photoshop!
Anyone tried this?
#1
Try playing arround with the artistic and brush stroke filters.
#2
Also duplicate the image, apply filters and use layer transparency.

2 good ideas, thanks!!

You could also try different sketch filters/settings on each channel.
#5
This been around awhile-not mine
Desat
dup. layer
invert
Set layer to dodge-image should be white
G. blurr

There are several filters that do a very good job of this at the Adobe Expert Center or Adobe Studio action exchange:

This is great, overwhelming response, I will give these filters a try right now.
Thanks!!

1. With the original image open, duplicate the layer. =(Layer 1)
2. Desaturate Layer 1 (Image/ Adjustments/Desaturate)
3. Duplicate layer 1. =(Layer 2)
4. Invert layer 2. (Image/adjustments/invert)
5. Change the blending mode of layer 2 to Color Dodge.
The display will turn completely white.
6. Apply a gaussian blur to layer 2. The amount of blur will determine the width of the sketch lines.
