  1. "1. Open an image in PhotoShop 6, preferably a photograph.

    2. Create a copy of the background layer (Layer- >Duplicate Layer) and invert it. (Image- >Adjust- > Invert).

    3. Convert image to Grayscale (Image- > Mode- > Grayscale) and choose NOT to flatten the image.

    4. Set layer mode to "Color Dodge." This will at first make the layer look almost completely white.

    5. Now, bring out some of the pencil strokes by applying the Gaussian blur-filter (Filter-> Blur- > Gaussian Blur) and set "Radius" to somewhere between 1.5 and 5.0 pixels. The pixel size is up to you.

    If you set the "Radius" to a higher value, the image will look more like a pastel painting, rather than a sketch.

    Your pencil sketch steps are now done!"

    That should work in other image editing software too, if you don't have Photoshop. Things might not be in the same place, though. The GIMP is a really good free image software if you don't have.


  2. download paint.net it's free and it has an icon that automatically does pencil sketch
