Step # 1 – Load an Image
In the first step, launch Adobe Photoshop and load an image on which you want to create a color ink sketch effect. It is important to note that the results might vary according to the image. Therefore you must adjust the filter settings in each step according to your image.
Step # 2 – Open the Filter Menu
After loading the image, right click on its layer and select the “Duplicate Layer” option from the menu. Now go to the “Filter” menu and select the “Sketch” category. In this category, you will find a filter named “Photocopy”. Click on this filter to load the settings panel.
Step # 3 – Adjust the Filter Settings
In the filter’s settings panel, you will find various options. Choose “8 points” for the “Detail” option and “6 points” for the “Darkness” option. After changing these settings, click on the “OK” button to apply this filter on the image.
Step # 4 – Open the Filter Menu
After applying the sketch filter on the image, go to the “Filter” menu again, select “Sharpen” and click on the “Sharpen More” option from the list. This will sharpen the image a little bit. Now apply the “Sharpen More” filter two more times to add depth to your image.
Step # 5 – Change the Blending Mode
Once you applied the sharpness filter on the image, change the “Blending Mode” of this layer to “Overlay”. And that’s it.
