Photoshop Sketchy Technique

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.

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?
