An easy-to-use app to make you an artist by creating pencil sketch of your photos! You can pick a picture from your album or capture one from your camera to generate the sketch. Both black-white and colorful sketch results can be easily created by JUST one button click. Saving images can be done quickly by a single touch of a button. Sharing pics are also supported. There are three styles included in the app: "Sketch", "Doodle" and "Hatch". "Sketch" style creates accurate pencil sketches with smooth edges and curves, which is very good for human portrait photos. "Doodle" style converts a photo into a cartoon style painting. "Hatch" will work generally on any kind of photos, as it is a simple style which generates a cross-hatching texture on photos. Several photo frames are also included in the app so that you can easily apply them to your sketch results. A powerful photo editor is also built-in within this app, which includes many useful and fast manipulations of your photos. The sketch and cartoon results can be easily enhanced within the editor by using features like: photo filters, fun stickers, photo frames, brightness/contrast/saturation adjustment, etc.
