The sketch effect was created using the find edges and cutout filters. The background on those layers were partially knocked out via the "blend if gray" sliders under layer styles. More adjustments were made using curves and masks. The Rough Pastels filter produce the canvas texture you see and the paint behind the model was accomplish with a custom brush. I also lighten the shadows on the model and darken the background a bit for a softer contrasty look.

This is a similar image I did a while back with the sketch look but less refined:
