1.

Start with a Photo that has some decent edge detail, here is one I got from Adobe Stock

2

Covert the photo to grayscale (Ctrl+Shift+D / Cmd+Shift+D)

3

When talking about portrait photoshop. ArcSoft Portrait+ provides a solution based around intuitive pre-defined styles for. Retouch Portrait.

Duplicate the layer by dragging into the new layer icon, or press Ctrl/Cmd+J

4

Invert the layer Cmd/Ctrl+I

5

Change to Linear Dodge blend mode and you should see a perfectly white image (Use Color Dodge for sharper edges)

6

Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur
(You could actually use any filter, as long as it creates a difference between the 2 layers)

As you adjust the blur you will get a different result.

Here are some variations using Color Dodge, you will notice that Linear Dodge produces a softer result that Color Dodge. Try different blending Modes for different results.

Here is the result on a different image

Once you have your perfect pencil sketch, why not try adding some color for a nice variation.

In this first example, I added a solid color Fill adjustment layer. Change the blend mode to color, so only the color shows through. Adjust the opacity to suit your tastes.

Also try running a gradient through a new blank layer at the top and change that to color blend mode.

As you can see, the effect itself is quite simple and there are a number of variations that you can try to get very different looking results. Add a comment at let me know how you are using this effect.
