         First thing we do is save it as sketch 1 photoshop, and then we crop it.  Rotate it from the crop tool make sure you make it a square.

Unlock the layer by double clicking the background layer, to make it a layer 0.  Make a copy by dragging it to the bottom at the “new layer “button. 

make another layer with curves and levels. 

 

Curves: ctrl + M

Levels: ctrl + L

you play around the layer tool, make them all in in the middle, to bring the black and white only. 

Then turn off all the layers and make the curve layer on, press ctrl + M to bring the curve tool in.

Click the eye dropper on the right, and then click on the white backgrounds.

After that, make another copy of the layer you are working on, then turn off all layers except this one, go to Select -> colour range, and then press delete.  You can however, play with the fuzziness to make the image look whiter and black bolder.  

this will come out after you hit the delete button after you have selected the colour range.

Make the outline of the lines with the polygon tool to select it

You click on the paint bucket tool and select a colour of your choice, then drop it in the selection.

While it is selected, and it is coloured, bring in the gradient tool and just mess around with it inside the selected area, to bring the best gradient you like.
