A very simple photo effect, but everyone needs to know how to sketch out an image!

Step 1: Start by opening any picture you would like, black and white images usually work best for this effect. Than duplicate the image you just opened so you have a total of two layers.


Step 2: With the newly created layer selected (the top layer), go up to Image -> Adjustments -> Threshold, and play with the settings till you get something like this.


Step 3: Now set the top layers Blending Mode to Screen to get a cool outlined shaded drawing effect like this, simple but great for shirt, skateboard decks, and other designs!
