Random question or maybe not. I was speaking to shimon-ifraimov as I saw his deviantart link, and thought, wow his work is fantastic. I would love one of my wedding pictures turned in to pencil, something unique for my wife and have it turned in to Canvas to hang on the wall, but he doesn't so personal work.

I have played with PSP and done the attached, which to my ability I am quiet proud of, but I just cannot get that pencil effect, with colours in certain places.

Does anybody on here can do that sort of thing, or knows somebody?

Many thanks in advance

Fordie

PS This is not the picture I would love done, just showing you what I have done :o)

With the aid of my iPhone's My Sketch app, you can knock up something like this really easily. No, it isn't done by hand, and it is far from a perfect finish, but it's really really quick!!

Can you attach the original picture from before you did your edit, please?

As an (half) artist I say the sketch thing is usually a pretty bad idea. always turn out so grim and people look older.

Open up your inkjet cartridges and squirt in some graphite.

You're trying so hard lately.

Hay that's a pretty neat trick, and looks pretty good
