Drawing/sketching is not easy or a gift, but rather a skill. If you lack in this skill, but what to show off. This technique is perfect and be prepared to amaze your friends and family at what a good artist you are! I will be demonstrating the technique to create a sketch from a photo on a paper texture. So, that it looks realistic and then you can print it out, frame it and gift your friends.

Steps:
- Open your Image/Photo in PS and duplicate the background. (CTRL + J)
- On the new layer, then goto Image->Adjustments and select “Desaturate”.
- Then duplicate the new desaturated layer and invert it (CTRL+I) and change the blending options to “Color Dodge”.
- Then right click on the layer and select “Convert to Smart Object”.
- Next, goto Filters->Blur and select “Gaussian Blur” and adjust the radius approximately to 20 pixels.
- Download the paper texture image and open in PS.
- Using the move tool drag and drop the texture image in your project where your main image is.
- Then select the texture image (CTRL+T) and fit the texture image using SHIFT key over the your main image.
- Next, change the blending mode to “Multiply”.
- And at last, decrease the fill to 75%.
