This is the final result of this episode, a portrait of an old man by the sea transformed into a black and white pencil sketch on paper, using only blend mode and blur. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Pencil sketch effect uses a classic trick, combining a black and white photo with its blurred negative version using the color dodge blend mode. The result is only the edges of the image remaining, like pencil strokes. Open the photo of the old man by the sea.
Press Ctrl-J then Shift-Ctrl-U to desaturate the copy. Name the layer 'abu'.
Press Ctrl-J again and name the layer 'negatif'. Press Ctrl-I to invert. The photo now looks like a film negative.
Change the blend mode of the negative layer to color dodge. The canvas is almost entirely white, because the image and its negative cancel each other out.
Apply Gaussian blur to the negative layer. The larger the radius, the thicker and darker the sketch lines become. Around 8 pixels give a suitable pencil line.
Add levels at the top and drag the black triangle to the right to make the strokes more pronounced, like a softer pencil.
Place the old paper photo on top with the multiply blend mode. The sketch now appears drawn on top of the paper. Save as PSD and export as JPG.
Done. We have created a pencil sketch using desaturate, invert, color dodge, Gaussian blur, levels, and paper texture. In the next episode, we will create a pop art halftone effect.
