This effect was generated in Filter Forge, a Photoshop plugin that allows you to create your own filters.
This filter takes an original image and turns it into a chalk or charcoal drawing.
How To:
Using the Size, Pixels slider will create thin and thick lines. The lower the number the thinner the lines will be.
The "Grain" controls are for the grain of the paper.
"Chalk Density" is used for the thickness and pressure of the chalk effect.
"Smear Chalk" will smear around the chalk lines.
"Background Smudge" creates the background noise.
