Thanks folks.
It was pretty easy to do.Here are the steps.
Open Beautify>Art>Classic Sketch
Set red to 16 and yellow to -13
Then i saved it out of Beautify and opened it in G'MIC.
Black and White>Hard Sketch
[G'MIC] Hard sketch-Pencil_RD : -gimp_hardsketchbw 196,37,0.76,0.3,8.,0,0,0 (a new layer from the active one)
Adjust contrast to what you like.I put contrast up very little and darkened very little.I can't remember the brightness / contrast settings.
Now set the hard sketch layer on top and mode to Screen, and 100% opacity
Create another transparent layer between the top(hard sketch layer), and the bottom (Beautify layer).
Apply a copper type of linear gradient top left to bottom right.
Set that gradient layer to Overlay Mode, and 100% opacity.

You need Beautify plugin and G'MIC to get the effect.
