Image Generation Possibilities

The same photo as a sketch, charcoal sketch with slight color, and charcoal sketch with more color as generated by the Sporkforge.com image generation utilities.

Image Processing Software

I found some image processing software that allows you to generate an image from your photo to either look like a sketch, a charcoal sketch and several other possibilities, including embossing. This photo of my grandson DJ taken with his dad's cell phone to show me his missing teeth is one I tried with the Charcoal sketch software. It gives kind of cool results. You can add color to it if you like. There are several settings you can adjust to give different results. The company is Sporkforge.com, their image generating utilities.
