Description

Turn your images into detailed single color countour sketchy drawings. Check examples in Comments! TIPS: - For sketches with smaller details, reduce "Size, pixels" and fine tune it with "EDGE" related controls. - "Shades Texture" controls adds an uniform grainy texture to Midtones. To achieve smoother results, try changing Anti-Aliasing from "Edges Only" to "All Pixels" (Check preset #20). - "Fix Solid Dark Areas" option is an experimental workaround to input images with pure black solid areas (Check preset #20). - "Special Mode" option turns "Coverage Softness" into grayscale tones while keeping countours colored. Useful for graphite sketch shading fx, but results will vary depending on the contour color chosen. - Avoid too much (re)compressed jpeg as input images (some blocky artifacts may appear on large areas with similar colors). Alternatively, you can pre-process your image through edge preserving surface blur filters.
