Gurus, can you tell me what this effect is called and how to make it? I think it's a stroke or any readymade actions. Please explain to me with a tutorial, please? Thank you

Ok, I tried (Please see the attached psd). it and I think it's not the one exactly and similar to the one I attached, Gurus plz teach me with a tutorial or two. I separated the subject from the background and applied stroke to the separated image. I have a feeling I am using the wrong technique. Please Gurus give me the correct way of doing it.

My Effort :

Here's the PSD :

Hey Zoe.

There would be several ways to accomplish this effect. You already had one way. All you needed to do was move one layer over a bit.

Thank you @IamSam and how to make them smooth edges just like the original one?? also, I think they might have used a different technique? Also, I think they brushed off certain parts?

This would be dependent on the tool(s) used for the selection process and refinement. This is stuff that we have covered in the past, do I need to explain further? I will if needed.

Also, I think they brushed off certain parts?
Well....based on your reference to "brushing" and the fact that you have used layer masking in your PSD, I can assume that you would be aware of using a layer mask to hide or brush out certain parts of the effect. But, If needed, I can explain this further if needed.
