Here is a simple way to get the sketched image effect from manipulating your black and white photography. (this effect *should* not work properly in color, although I havent really experimented in color :p). I will explain briefly in a comment on the image.

The effect is achieved by overusing the unsharp mask. In the images at the bottom, the unsharp mask was used at 500%, 0 threshold, and at the display radius. The larger the radius, the less the detail in your sketch effect image. Less detail tends to make the image look more like a handmade drawing. In the "After" image, I used a 15 radius at 500% followed by a radius of 4 at 60% in amount to bring back a bit of detail in the wood. Achieving a pencil art type image. If you get a undesired overcontrasted look, this can be reduced by increasing the threshold. Have fun.

Dont suggest trying this with colors, unless u want something really abstract and overly colorful. Perhaps some work with this in conjuction with the median noise reduction filter could produce something nice in color, up to you.
