For this weeks Creative Effects Challenge we are going to create a Pencil Drawing effect and bring some of the original image thru to end up with something like this:
So lets get started.
1. Open your image.
2. Duplicate the layer (Command/Ctrl+j) and rename it B&W
3. Desaturate the B&W Layer (Command/Ctrl+Shift+u).
4. Duplicate the B&W layer (Command/Ctrl+j) and rename it Inverted.
5. Invert the layer named Inverted (Command/Ctrl+i).
6. Change the Blendmode to Color Dodge.
a. The image on your screen should turn white.
b. Your layer stack should look like image 1.
7. Go to Filter>Other>Minimum
8. Set the Radius to 1 or 2, then click OK.
9. You should now have what resembles a pencil drawing on your screen
10. With the top layer selected, Create a composite layer (Command/Ctrl+Option/ait+shift+e).
11. Rename this layer Drawing.
12. Turn off the “EYES” on the B&W layer and the Inverted layer by clicking on them.
13. Add a Layer Mask to the Layer named Drawing.
14. Press D on your keyboard to set the colors to Black and White.
15. Select the Gradient tool.
16. Left Click, Hold on one side image and Drag to the other.
a. The longer you drag the gradient the Smoother the transition.
b. The Shorter you drag the gradient the Harsher the transition.
c. Try using different gradient options for different results – See Note 1
17. Add a new layer on the top of the Layer stack.
18. Make sure white is selected as your Color. (use the X key to toggle your colors)
19. Paint in a white boarder to soften the effect.

On step no 10, do I hit alt+shift+e if I have Windows??? I did this and no new layer came up. The picture just got darker, I just have the three layers with inverted layer at the top. So I can not name it. It must stay inverted as per next step I see in the next step I should have another layer above the inverted layer. Hope I made some sense here!!!! Kathy Lee
