Today, I will use the image below and create a new action for your photoshop, namely Pencil Drawing action.
Open an image that you want to add the effect.
Go to ‘Window’ –> and open the ‘Actions’ panel.
Click the ‘Create new action’ icon.
Name this new action as ‘Pencil Drawing’ and then hit the ‘Record’ button.
Duplicate your background layer by clicking command + J.
Rename the new layer as ‘BW’.
Desaturate the image by clicking command + shift + U.
Again, duplicate the BW layer by clinking command + J.
Rename the BW layer as ‘Sketch’.
To invert the image, click command + I.
Change the blend mode into ‘Color Dodge’.
It is fine to see your whole image turned into all white.
Go to ‘Layer’ –> ‘Smart Objects’ –> ‘Convert into Smart Objects’.
Then go to ‘Filter’ –> ‘Blur’ –> ‘Motion Blur’.
Adjust the angle value to 34 and distance to 387 pixels.
Select back the BW layer and duplicate the layer.
Rename the layer as ‘Details’.
Drag the ‘Details’ layer up to the top, above the Sketch layer.
Then go to ‘Filter’ –> ‘Stylize’ –> and choose ‘Glowing edges’.
Adjust the ‘Edge Width’, ‘Edge Brightness’ and also the ‘Smoothness’ value as in the photo below.
Now, the image should be black in color with some white outline.
But then, click command + I to invert the image.
Go to the adjustment panel and choose ‘Levels’.
Adjust the values as follow.
Go back to the Actions panel and click the Stop button with a square icon at the bottom of the panel.
Now, we have successfully created a new action in your photoshop.
With this new action, now you can apply this action to other images with only one steps now.
