Written by Steve Patterson. In a
previous Photoshop tutorial, we learned how to convert a photo into a
sketch using a technique that works great with portraits, since it tends
to leave out small, unwanted details like wrinkles and other skin
blemishes while focusing more on the general features we want to see in
the sketch, like a person’s eyes, nose and lips. Sometimes though, when
working with other types of images like landscape or nature photos,
buildings and architecture, still lifes, or really any image that
doesn’t focus on people, you’ll want the sketch to include those tiny
details the previous technique would ignore. In this tutorial, we’ll
learn a slightly different way to convert a photo to a sketch that’s
usually better suited for these other types of images since it often
does an amazing job of bringing out fine details.
