Here's a method for converting an image to a line drawing.

1. Copy your image to a new layer and convert it to Black & White.

2. Copy that B&W layer to another new layer. Change the blend mode of this new layer to Divide. At this point, you should see an image that is almost entirely white.

3. Apply a Gaussian Blur to this layer.  Start with zero blur and very slowly increase the amount of blur until you see a line drawing start to emerge. The amount of blur you eventually use will be to your own taste.

4. As an optional step, add a Levels adjustment layer and adjust the sliders to darken the blacks and lighten the whites.
