Today's technique is fun and easy. We're going to do a pencil sketch. There's actually a whole group of filters (Filters-Sketch) that result in sketched effects, but frankly, none of them are that good. You'll get a much better result using the Webworksite tutorial found here (http://www.webworksite.com/pencil_sketch_tutorial.shtml).
What can you do with the resulting image? You can leave it as is, color it in using brushes, layer it with the original image (an effect that's really cool if you blur the original first), or just print it out and let your kids or grandkids color it.
I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Note: Because we're working in many different versions of Photoshop and Elements, your screen may vary from the one in the tutorial. If you run into a wall, just post and we'll try to walk you through it.
