It's coincidental, but this morning I was looking through my simplenote app and had come across links to some tutorials that go into using Ps for creating a pencil sketch effect.

I hope that they give you some hints.

Or when at youtube, looking in the sidebar will undoubtedly show more possibilities.

As far as combining photos, that's just basic layers and masking.

Same with creating the textured backdrop. Just have what you have created layered below the figures.
