InkCam is a camera app that transforms photos and videos into distinctive, ink-inspired artwork. Stippling, bold areas of black, and delicate outlines turn light and shadow into striking monochrome images, giving everyday scenes the look of hand-drawn illustrations or manga. See the effect in real time as you compose your shot, so you know exactly how the finished image will look before you capture it. Adjust contrast, dot size, and other settings to create an ink style of your own. InkCam works with both photos and videos. You can also import existing photos from your library and transform them with InkCam.
