neat drawing effect

[Invader_gir]

im going to show you a neat effect that can be used for making pictures look like you drew them with colored pencils \o\

grab an image, any image should work, best if its color though :P
im using this one, mostly because its an awesome pic

http://img220.echo.cx/img220/5328/step14xs.th.jpg (http://img220.echo.cx/my.php?image=step14xs.jpg)

next, duplicate the layer with the picture on it and press ctrl+shift+u or image -> adjustments -> hue/saturation and set saturation to -100

http://img220.echo.cx/img220/8223/step29vi.th.jpg (http://img220.echo.cx/my.php?image=step29vi.jpg)

copy the layer (layer 1 copy) and invert it by pressing ctrl+i or image -> adjustments -> invert.

http://img220.echo.cx/img220/8113/step30my.th.jpg (http://img220.echo.cx/my.php?image=step30my.jpg)

change the blending mode of layer 1 copy 2 to overlay.

http://img220.echo.cx/img220/9858/step49tr.th.jpg (http://img220.echo.cx/my.php?image=step49tr.jpg)

now, copy the first layer (layer 1) and move it up the top and change the blending mode to color

oo
pressed print screen key and went into paint and pressed control + v, moved the little thingy so that only the layers bit was showing, pressed ctrl+a, ctrl+c, went into photoshop, and pressed ctrl+v
then just fiddled round with the effects \o\
