Color Cross Sketch
1. Make 2 duplicates of the background. Turn the top one off (you don’t use it until the end)
2. On the lower copy, Image—Adjust—Desaturate
3. Duplicate desaturated image.
4. On duplicate desaturated copy, Image—Adjust—Invert.
5. Set blending mode to Color Dodge. Run Gaussian Blur with a fairly high amount (4-9).
6. Layer—Merge Down
7. Duplicate merged black and white layer.
8. Multiply and Gaussian blur again—same settings.
9. Layer—Merge Down
10. On black and white layer—Filter—Brush Strokes—Crosshatch roughly (10-4-2).
11. Make sure you have a black foreground and white background. On black and white layer, Filter—Artistic—Colored Pencil (4-14-43 roughly).
12. Fade colored pencil 50-80% in multiply mode.
13. Duplicate the black and white image. Turn the top one off, work on the lower one. Your layer palette from top to bottom has the top 2 off and the bottom 2 on. It goes color, bw, bw, color.
14. Working on the lower black and white layer. Filter—Gaussian Blur 1%
15. Filter Stylize—Diffuse—Ansiotropic.
16. Turn on upper black and white layer. Set to luminosity and opacity 50-80%
17. Turn on upper layer. Set blending mode to color burn.
18. If more intensity is desired, duplicate top layer and adjust opacity. Usually 25% on the dup layer.
Here's the before.
