Pencil sketch Action

[photoken]

I've recorded the usual steps for creating a pencil sketch as an action, and added a final twist -- a texturizing step.

Here's the original image:

When you run the action, it will pause at the B&W conversion step so you can adjust the output, and also pause at the Gaussian Blur step to let you fine-tune the effect. You'll adjust the size and intensity sliders to get some gray tonal areas, such as this:

Then the action will pause at the final Sponge step so you can refine the texturizing.

The final result:

The action will be attached to the next post.
