First
select your image. To create this type of effects your image must be with a
clear background. Because crowded background will not appear that good after
the editing. And the light, focus and other stuffs must be of professional
level. You can use an image with a clear background. Alternatively you can remove
the existing background with clipping path or masking before you
start working on it.

Once you
are done with selection, open the image file in Photoshop. Go to the layers
window. You have to create a duplicate version of the background layer. You can
do this by dragging the background layer to the New Layer icon. Alternatively
press CMD/CTRL+J to duplicate the layer. Now go to Image > Adjustments >
Invert. Or you can use the short code CMD/CTRL+I. Then click right mouse button
and select Convert To Smart Object.

shortcuts will come real handy in this type of editing works. Earlier I
published a post on Photoshop Shortcut Compilation. You can check that

Go to the
Filter menu of Photoshop and select Gaussian Blur. Change the radius to around
40 pixels. As we have already selected Smart object, so that will apply the
Gaussian Blur filter as a smart filter. It will not apply the effect
permanently. This also gives us the chance to edit the settings if needed.

Now you
have to change the blending mode of the duplicate layer and make it Color
Dodge. It will create a high contrast. As a result, grainy details of the image
will be visible.

shadow slider position. Move them to right. This will darken the image.

Next add
another Adjustment Layer. Select Black and White option in this occasion. This
will remove the colors and a more pencil sketch like appearance will be
created.
