making pictures look drawn?

A while back I heard about a program to make a picture look like it drawn in pencil. Anybody know where I can find it if it even exists?

photoshop can do it under effects. you just need to play with the settings to get the result you want.

there's photobooths that can do it, you sit down, it takes the pic and you can choose the style for the drawing.

but photoshop is far superior for these tasks, it really is playing around with the effects, that's how i learn stuff on it.

Or you could post the picture in the automotive art/sketching and drawing section and some of us fine gentleman could literally draw it for you?

Yeah, that sounds like a way better thing to do that photoshop, as it is actually drawn and wont look like it was photoshopped.

I started a thread there. Thanks Guys.

Program I have can do this for me:

Sorry about the big second picture. I don't have time to do some cropping beings i'm friggin tired. And I thought i'd show you all an example. Not too bad I guess.

No offense, but it doesn't look drawn. It looks fake to me, I understand your trying to help, but comming from someone who draws cars all the time, it just doesn't have the feel. The lines are too perfect, miniscule details there where in a drawing theyd wouldn't be. It's too...perfect to be a drawing.

^^^Yeah, but it still looks fucking kickass

I wouldn't say the lines are too perfect, it's just that the shading doesn't look like pencil at all. In fact, why are dark areas not dark grey, but white?

hey BH04 could you do that to this pic for me? or let me know what program it is that you use?

What makes those pictures look photoshopped is that it IS too perfect, not the lines and all but the level of detail, I mean you can basicly see the line of ants on the ground in the picture if photoshop pics it up. Just take these 2 and tell me which looks more drawn to you.

Neither. Anyone who considers themselves an artist to any extent wouldn't shade like that :p

But to answer, what looks CLOSER to being drawn? The second because it focuses on a car the way an artist would.

How about that?

^ that looks awesome. i like it, thanks

Here I tried a multi-filter pencil drawing (including colored pencils) of the bike. Looks more realistic if you ask me (still not quite real though).

I use studio artist, its a much better program than photoshop for things such as this, however using the two programs in conjunction could yield exceptional pieces of artwork i'm sure.

I'm using photoshop. If your good at blending different effects it will look a lot better. Photo editing is an artform.

:1::iagree:... the first thing you'll learn in a photoshop class is that any loser can throw a filter over a drawing, and that is not the purpose. To make things work you can use multiple filters, or use different filters for different areas. If someone can look at it and say "oh you used the photocopy filter with the contrast way up", or "oh you added an outer glow over there" well then you failed.
