conrad2k Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 In Photoshop there are a number of ways to turn a picture into a simulation of a line drawing, pastel or watercolor. The attached is an example of what I am talking about, though not a particularly great example! I have seen fun examples where people turned portraits into cartoon characters, etc. Are there ways to do similar things in AP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrin Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 They intend on adding a new trace persona for this sort of thing, but they say that it will take quite a while before they can do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJack Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 This is entirely dependent on the filters available. Trace will help a lot, but Pshop is far far more advanced when it comes to native Artistic, Brush Stroke and Pixelate filters. Affinity can load some third party plugins now which might do a good job. More native filters and third party support should come along at a good clip I'm guessing, but until then the options are limited. Maybe that'll force greater creativity ;) .

Asha Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 This isn't quite there in terms of the same quality of the sample you show, but it might be fun to try: Filters>>Detect Edges Layer Adjustments>>Invert Layer Adjustments>>Black and White jrr52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabtrem Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 This is the method I use to get a pencil like drawing appearance in Affinity Photo. jrr52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asha Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Here is a link to a tutorial that shows several methods. I haven't tried them in AP, but it might be worth investigating. If you come up with your own method, it might be artistically better anyway! http://blog.kozzi.com/photography/tutorial-an-easier-and-better-way-to-create-a-sketch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conrad2k Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Wow! I hadn't expected anyone to do anything with my samples! What a supportive community we have here! Thanks for the link Asha and to Crabtrem for tips on how to replicate my drawing in AP! manu schwendener 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
