Load the canvas photo you want to apply the sketch filter on.

The orginal canvas photo

Make sure the foreground color is set to black (unless you want another pen color) and the background to white. You can do this by pressing the letter D on the keyboard.

Chose “Filter > Sketch > Graphic Pen”

Chose the Graphic Pen

You may want to change the stroke length and light/dark balance to make your photo look better. Sometimes it is also better to change the stroke direction.

The final result – a sketch drawing for your canvas photo
