Create an Etch‐a‐Sketch Drawing in Photoshop

Find a picture of an etch‐a‐sketch. Google Etch a Sketch.

Open an image that you want to have in the Etch‐A‐Sketch. I’ve used a raccoon image.

Remove the background of the image using any method (selection, erase, etc).

Then use Levels to darken the image slightly. Access Levels by Control‐L or Image/Adjustments/Levels.

Then desaturate (Control‐Shift‐U).

Then choose Filter>Sketch>Graphics Pen.

You can experiment with the settings but these seem to work best.

Then select all (Control‐A) and copy (Control‐C).

Go to the Etch‐A‐Sketch image and paste.

Use Free Transform (Control‐T) to resize the image and position it over the Etch‐A‐Sketch layer.

Now, change the blending mode of the top layer to Linear Burn. That’s it!
