Expirement in pencil effect

stoneylonesome · 4th of March 2007 (Sun)

Was playing around in PSP 9 with a Black Pencil effect.
Here is the photo rendered in Pencil. What do you think?

Here is the original one.

Great shot. The original is excellent, too.

looks pretty neat ~

Thanks all for the comment, I'm more pleased at how the pencil effect came out than I am about the original. When I took the original it had just stopped raining and there was still a haze hanging over everthing.

very nice Sandy

the pencil effect makes for a textured look... like as though done on canvas.
I like the original too. the lovely reflection is nice with the colour

Thank you Marie, I'm really pleased in the way it came out.

Thank you. I wasn't all that happy with the original, but I sure happy the way the pencil effect came out.

Not too sure if i like the pencil effect, have you tried a b&w conversion on its own?

I must say that I prefer the original and it may also look good in high contrast B&W?

I thought it was good photo to test on. Think it needs more contrast and I'm not too keen on all those wires. Please show us another attempt.

I was doing something similar last night. Here's a sketch filter attempt. This is completely different from the original. Not too sure about it myself.

As per request a B&W version. Wires are a fact of life and a part of the scene, I try not to include them but I'm not going to avoid them if I really want the photo. Having done a lot of pencil drawings and sketches in my time I really think that the photo effect one came out pretty good.

Pencil effect is okay, but, as with most PS filters, the strokes are a bit too uniform.

The BW version is great!

B&W is way better!

I think B&W suits this subject.
