Black and White Sketches

[pstewart]

There are many ways to create sketches from photos. Here are a few styles from my "children" photo art gallery. See more sketches, including color, at http://www.pbase.com/pstewart/children

For more information on making sketches, see the Photo Art Tutorials at http://www.innographx.com/forum

Here are three more different sketch styles. These are from my "people" gallery at:

Directions for a lot of the methods used can be found in the Photo Art Tutorials forum at Innographx, url under my signature.

This is done with the same method as "Shaggy Dog" and "Alaskan Brown Bears."

Phyllis,

These are fabulous images. How do you do it.

I realize of course that one needs to start off with a good image. Otherwise it may turn into a "garbage in - garbage out" situation.

Very impressed.

Thanks, Arif. There are lots of ways. Some of them are explained in the Photo Art tutorials on my site (under my name). Others are just "playing around" with PS7 to see what happens. The last one of the primate was partly done with the "threads" filter in Paint Alchemy, which goes by another name in Windows...I forget.
