    Here is a new one from me: Instructions from PSCC
    1-I opened my photo and made a copy of it. 2- I de saturated my photo and made a copy of that. 3- I changed the blend to Color Dodge. 4-I did a control I to invert it. 5- I selected Filter-Other-Minimum with a R of 3 px. 6- I selected the 1st de saturated layer and added a curves adjustment layer to increase contrast. When I was happy, I merged my two de saturated layers and added a layer mask and masked in some of the color from my original photo at about 30% opacity.

    I decided to play around with a few older layouts and see how the sketch technique transformed them. Here's one example.
    Before the sketch:

    After the sketch:

    I love how the sketch emphasizes the lines in the photo to match the lines in the template.

    I really love your sketch version, @umyesh. It really emphasizes the trees and the rooflines, looks like a great neighbourhood for children
