    Sketchy look with ambient occlusion layer

    You can try out different settings to generate various types of effects in your output. For example, to create another sketchy effect with the edges appearing heavier, you need to do these adjustments - select the ambient occlusion layer, decrease the Gain, decrease the Adapt to Brightness level, turn on Bloom, adjust the Bloom Radius for amount of heaviness in the edges desired.
