    In Artisan 5 - I think 4 also has these options, if I remember correctly.

    You can also use Filter, Stylize, Show Edges. There is even a box to check for color and it will draw it in color. Play with the adjustments. I did not check color in my example.

    You can also use Filter, Stylize, Threshold. Play with the colors to get the look you want.

    Play with the options and see what you get. It will also depend on the photo you want to use. Here is a quick example of each filter. I did not convert to B&W to start with. You can also try that as a first step. It will most likely give you different results.

    If you look at the pages people have posted already, most have used a photo with distinct lines. My example photo has too many subtle color/shade differences that don't clearly define the object. So your picture would really make a difference in the end result.

    Here is one I did for the speed scrap earlier this month. I used Stylize, Show Edges.

    Did not expect to enjoy this challenge. But am in LOVE with my result. I think the underlying picture will be the base of next year's holiday card.

    @tinkerbell1112 @BevG I've been messing around with this for about an hour. I found the best results came from not converting to black and white, and to use a color that matched the photo (at least for mine). I haven't yet tried to raise the contrast of the original photo to see if that would bring out more pronounced lines. I'm off to try that next.

    @tinkerbell1112 @BevG - Here's a bit of what I've been playing around with. I'll do more tomorrow, but it's bedtime now!
    I like the more intense color showing through from the extra saturated photo, which also gave me more definition on the edge sample. Anyway, just an example in case it helps anyone out.

    This was a hard one..not the task itself, but rather finding a photograph that I thought would look good as a sketch that was also in color!! We mainly shoot black and white film; this photo my hubby used his Kiev 88 with Kodak color slide film.

    I thought my youngest would enjoy seeing one of her favorite Star Wars characters turned into a sketch...boy was I wrong!

    I used Dearest Diary by Dawn Inskip.

    journaling:
    The first time I went to Las Vegas Strip. There was bronze statue people. I remember my friend who lived there would tell me do you think that statue is real or not real. He would laugh because I wasn’t sure whether they were real or not and they wouldn’t move when he went near them but when I would sit by them they would turn and I would jump.
    As time would go by and I would go back to visit. I would see the bronze people and laugh. This is one fo my favorite bronze people experiences.
