A search gets that image from this PS tutorial.  This one http://www.tutorialwiz.com/water_on_tap  if anyone wants to comment.

While there is an old 'plastic wrap' script-fu, it does not work as needed for that tutorial.  The 'sketch' filter is really needed for a chrome effect not as an actual sketch. There are plenty sketch plugins, maybe one will work.

However, a little messing about gets this which might / might-not  work for you.

1. Have a coloured back ground layer.
2. Make a layer with solid noise. Filters  > Render > Noise > Solid Noise Break the link between X and Y and increase the X value.
3. Resize the layer with the Unified Transform tool. Hold shift-ctrl to resize about center point.
4. No chrome filter so use the Color curve tool and zig-zag the curve to give an effect.
5. Put that layer into hard light mode.
6. Use the Warp Tool to squash the shape
7. For some reason this works. Color Invert the layer.

Hopefully someone will come up with better suggestions.

Hello. Welcome. Allow me to suggest that, contrary to what you may have read or been told, GIMP is not a Photoshop clone or direct replacement. Currently, "Plastic wrap" seems to be a specific PS filter and "Sketch" is a PS filter category. GIMP has its own filters, scripts and plug-ins to be explored.

For the plastic wrap effect you can use G'MIC,

Filters ➤ G'MIC ➤ Lights & Shadows ➤ Relief Light, it's what I use to give a plastic-ish effect on custom fonts
