: How to filter a photo to pencil and paper sketch with stains? I have tried a variety of different manipulations to achieve a old-style architectural render. Here is what I've tried, perhaps

@Turnbaugh909

The second image is a marker rendering, not a filtered photograph.

You will never get the same results with any automated or filter process. It takes manual illustration skills. The subtle variations in colors, lines, and perspective are all done by hand.

Sometimes the computer is simply not a substitute for traditional illustration skills. In order to pull this off digitally, you need to actually draw and paint it rather than trying to use any filters.

Set the photo as a layer at the bottom of a layer stack and use it as a template/guide and paint on layers above it.



Although, doing this by hand with pen paper and markers, will be much, much faster than trying to accomplish it digitally.
