How Do You Make a Color Pencil Sketch Effect Action in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:14 am

In this tutorial, we’ll be learning how to create a color pencil sketch effect action in Photoshop. This action will turn any image into a colorful sketch, with just a few clicks!

First, open up the image that you want to turn into a sketch. Then, create a new layer by going to Layer > New > Layer. We’ll be using this layer to apply the sketch effect, so name it accordingly.

Now, go to Filter > Render > Clouds. This will add some randomness to the image and help create the sketch effect.

Once you’re happy with the results, go to Image > Adjustments > Desaturate. This will remove all the color from the image, leaving us with a black and white version.

PRO TIP: This action is for Photoshop CS3 and above. Make sure you have a backup of your image before running the action, as it cannot be undone.

Now, it’s time to add some color! Go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation.

Check the “Colorize” option, and play around with the Hue and Saturation settings until you get a color that you like. If you want a more subtle effect, you can lower the opacity of this layer.

And that’s it! Just two simple steps to turn any image into a beautiful color pencil sketch. Give it a try on your own images and see what amazing results you can achieve!
