Pencil Sketch Effect

Let’s go full B&W with a raw, tactile pencil sketch effect that strips your image down to its most expressive lines. This look mimics the grain, grit, and pressure sensitivity of a real graphite sketch on paper — perfect for editorial graphics, poster art, or stylized character concepts. The effect comes as a high-quality PSD with Smart Objects for seamless edits. The visual feels intentionally rough and textured, like something scanned straight from an artist’s sketchbook, giving your visuals emotional immediacy without losing clarity.

This resource is created, and fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop. For the best experience, we recommend to use the latest Creative Cloud version of the app.
