 | Here's the simple tutorial on how to make pencil sketch in easy steps by yourself without Depending on any Software. If You Like    Open your desired image/photo in Adobe Photoshop       I am choosing this image   Open Layers or press F7 (shortcut to open layers)   Now, lets convert the new Background Layer into black and white.  (For this we'll use a shortcut CTRL+Shift+U, or just go to image->adjustments->desaturate)   Right click on Background layer and choose "Duplicate layer". OR Press Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V to get a Duplicate Layer       Now, Click on the new layer and press Ctrl+I to invert, and after that set layer mode on color dodge.       Now, Add a Gaussian blur filter (Filter - Blur - Gaussian blur...) on that layer with a radius of 2.0px (or +) and if necessarily decrease or increse opacity      Result:
