This tutorial turns a photo into a detailed sketch. It says it is for Photoshop CC, but every tool and keyboard shortcut worked exactly as described for me in PSE 2018. At the bottom there is a distillation of the steps which allow you to replicate it in 60 seconds. I tried it and it is true! I am really excited by this tutorial because there are many places where alternate/additional steps can be inserted to take your image in a different, creative direction.
Give it a go and have fun! If you should get stuck or have any questions please post them.

Such fun, Tom! Used the keyboard shortcut method and chose hard light at a reduced opacity. Then thought it would be fun to use it to practice the new scrapbooking techniques I'm learning.  |

Thank Frank, Lillias and Helen for giving this a try; nice results!
I would like to point out that the author refers to a companion tutorial for turning a portrait into a sketch. It is the same steps as this one except instead of using the Minimum filter he uses the Gaussian Blur filter (which will smooth the skin). Of course, both could be used selectively on the same image using masks. I'm kind of hoping someone will give it a try and tell us how it went.

Nice variation on the sketch effect. Thank you Tom. Image from Pixabay. I added a Surface Blur and masked it in for the girl's head only, because the face had become wrinkled and the hair unkempt-looking.

I would never thought of using this filter. Living and learning! Sepiana, I use the Surface Blur whenever I edit a portrait. It saves a good deal of other corrections and is the reason my friends and relatives think I'm a better photographer than their children.  It always requires a mask though to bring back at least the eyes and mouth. Does wonders for almost any throat between 30 and 90 years old.
