About this tool
Turn a photo into a pencil drawing. The tool uses the color dodge technique artists use in photo editors: outlines and textures appear as pencil strokes while flat areas stay white like paper.
Adjust line width and darkness, add shading for depth, and choose between graphite gray and colored pencil. A light paper texture makes the result look hand drawn.

Questions and answers
Which photos make the best sketches?
Well-lit photos with clear outlines, such as portraits, animals and buildings. Very dark or blurry photos give faint drawings; raise the darkness for those.
Can I get a sketch in color?
Yes. Turn on “Colored pencil” to keep soft, pastel colors under the pencil lines.
