Photoshop Sketchy Technique

I love all the potential for this sketchy technique I found by this very generous soul at www.themanwhofellasleep.com/invisibilia_tutorial.html but I couldn't follow along with his instructions so I came up with a different way of doing it. I give him all the credit though as even though I couldn't understand how he got from point A to point B he was my inspiration.

Step 1 What you will need

1. A Basic Knowledge of Photoshop, but I am going to hold your hand so don't worry about this too much.
2. A Photograph That You Can Open In Photoshop

Nice work, I will definitely have to try it!

Here is my attempt, it's not great, I am not much of an artist.

[Ninzerbean]

 That is so good - I love it!  

[Kryptonite]

Very nice! The sketchiness adds to the effect.

It appears that the drawing was added to an image without a cat in it originally, or is that just me?

[Ninzerbean]

 It's just you, it just looks that way, try it yourself Kryptonite. If you don't have Photoshop download it for a free two week trial.

[Kryptonite]

When I've got a bit of free time on my hands I definitely will.

[Kryptonite]

I like it how part of the photo is left real.

[Ninzerbean]

I think it's the 3D and the seemingly flat area playing off each other that give the photo a sort of tension.

[Kryptonite]

Yeah, it's got an awesome effect.
