Years ago, the Pencil Sketch Effect was one of the first things I learned how to do in Affinity Photo. And to this day, I still love the effect! I hope you enjoy it too. 😊

OMG, you can read my mind?! I was looking today for right this. I put images with a laser in and on glass, and I'm looking for a way to make images like this from clients. YOU saved my day. Thank you Ally and Ezra, you two are the best!! 😘

Well that was fascinating!! I was wondering where you were going. Very interesting. I would never have guessed to use that method in a million years. Thanks for another great video.

This is a wonderful video, I had always wanted to do this. I think I will turn it into a macro, as only the last step would need to be adjusted for other photos. Great!!

The tip to paint white was so easy! Why didn't I ever think of that?! lol

[justrosaelena]

Thank you for the straight forward tutorial. Easy to follow along. Helped me a lot!

Thanks Ally. I created a 9-step Macro of your step. Then added it to the Library. So, whenever I have a new photo, I just click once and it is converted to a pencil drawing.

This is really neat and the process is elegant!

Easy when you know how - nice result Ally, thank you. :)

I'm so glad I've found your videos. How would I make a pencil line stronger in one area when the overall picture is dark enough e.g. the righthand side of her dress?

[elizabethrussell]

A great video and an easy and quick way to create a very realistic pencil sketch. Thanks

I tried with one additional step with a High Pass filter on another photo and it also came out well.

Hi Ally. Thanks again for this simple but very interesting tutorial. Keep up with the good work.

[extremelydave]

Yup, we're still here watching your awesome videos. And a shout out to Ezra. Hope you're doing OK.

How simple is this? I have seen other tutorials for other packages go through hoops. I have always loved black-and-white pencil sketches for their simplicity and suggestiveness. I have no innate talent for drawing, but I can do this. Thank you, Ally
