Quick Sketch: Online photo to sketch converter.
Turn digital images into sketches. Simple filters are used to create a quick outline drawing. Load an image select Sketch and the program starts the drawing. It begins with a faint outline and gradually fills it in. Select Edges to use edge detection or Lines to do a line sketch.
Watch the program create the drawing. Stop it when the drawing is filled in enough. The idea is to end the drawing before it is finished so it looks like a sketch. Change the grayscale filter to 0 for colored pictures. Sketches are usually gray but the effect also works on colored photos.
It is quick and easy. Covert your photos and see how they look. If the sketch is too dull or faded then try using the Intensity option. I added it so I could make the lines darker. Check or uncheck the check box to see a different version of the sketch.
The sketches above were made from photos I took with my camera. There is a lot of white space because they are outline drawings. Creating edge images or outline drawings is an easy way to make a good looking sketch.
The Lines sketch uses a technique called Canny edge detection to transform your pictures into line sketches. Gradually lowering the threshold allows weaker edges to contribute to the sketch, introducing more detail as more outline lines are added. Resulting in a visually appealing and gradually detailed sketch effect made with outline lines. It's a simple way to turn your photos into unique line drawings.
High Pass filtering enhances the details and edges of an image creating a stark contrast between light and dark regions, transforming the image into a black and white sketch.
Sobel edge detection highlights edges and boundaries in an image by measuring the rate of intensity change at each pixel. This technique emphasizes sharp transitions and divisions, enhancing the outlines and features to create a sketch-like representation.
You can change the display size and the color filters. If the result is too dull try changing the contrast and saturation. Softening the edges with a gentle blur can produces a result with increased whitespace, reducing clutter and noise while simplifying the overall appearance.
