Open Image



Duplicate the layer- right click on the picture > Duplicate layer, and name it Drawing1



Filter>Blur>Smart Blur> set the Radius and Treshold to 100(or something like that), Quality: Low, Mode: Normal



Duplicate original picture again,name it Drawing2 and drag this layer on the top of other two layers



Filter>Artistic>Poster Edges,Edge Thickness:0, Edge Intensity:1, Posterization:1- for this picture I've found that tihese settings are the best,but it can vary for another picture- you choose what's the best



Right click on this layer(Drawing2) and choose Blending Options- set the Blend Mode to Luminosity,and Opacity to about 70%



Now duplicate again the Background layer,named it Drawing3 and drag it between the Drawing1 and Drawing2 layer, go to Filter> Blur> Smart Blur, set the Treshold high, Radius something about half, Quality: High, Mode: Edge Only, then go to Image> Adjustment> Invert, Soft light, Opacity 45%



Duplicate the Drawing3 layer,go to Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur, and set the to about 3,5 and then set the Opacity to about 80%



Get back to the layer Drawing2,click on Image> Adjustments> Levels and adjust the sliders as you wish to make the "drawing" darker or brighter



Filter> Sharpen> Unsharp Mask and set the Amount,Radius and Treshold to accent some lines on the "drawing" and that's it!
