Hello and welcome to PSG.

This effect is seems to be a combination of the 'Black & White adjustment layer', the 'Poster Edges' filter, and a 'threshold adjustment layer'.

Hi BadMoodMoose -

Welcome to PSG. I love your user name. Fortunately, I've only seen a moose in a bad mood once in my life, and that was more than enough, LOL.

In addition to the suggestions already given, you should also skim through this old, closely related thread in our forum:

https://www.photoshopgurus.com/foru...099-help-sketch-effect-something-similar.html

In it, we go through about a dozen examples of the results of applying different pencil sketch and related filters to an image. The results range from almost continuous tone shading all the way to much higher contrast, pen-and-ink like effects. In almost all of the methods demonstrated, there is some means to adjust the final contrast, so you might find a look that you like among the effects shown.

Note that in my posts in that thread, the name of the effect being demonstrated is part of the file name of each image that I posted.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers,

Tom M
