A wolf: a drawing out of a photo Désolé, à présent cette information n'est disponible qu'en anglais. La version française sera bientôt affichée.
To make a drawing out of a photo you need certain abilities. You either have to be capable of drawing by hand, or have a good knowledge of a graphical editor to change your photo into a drawing by a series of comands, filters, and layers with different merging modes.
But if you cannot draw and do not have time or desire to perform a long and tedious series of steps, you can use AKVIS Sketch plug-in. It is easy to use and allows you to get a realistically looking drawing in few seconds.
In this example we will show the procedure of changing a photo of a wolf into a pencil drawing.
Open the photo in a photo editor and call AKVIS Sketch plug-in.

On opening AKVIS Sketch press in the plug-in window the  button. The photo will be converted into a drawing with default settings.
Lets analyse the resulted image and adjust the plug-in settings by pressing button every time we change a parameter to see the result. You can see the settings we chose for this drawing in the image below.
Lets have a closer look at some parameters:
- Parameter Watercolor . By increasing this parameter by only 1 point we blured the tiniest strokes that could give extra "dirt".
- Parameter Size. The higher is this parameter set, the finer our drawing strokes will be.
- Parameter Midtones Hatching. By decreasing this parameter you decrease the level of detail in the lighter regions of the image.
The parameters are adjusted and you are happy with the drawing. All you have to do now is to apply the result by pressing  button in the plug-in window.
