How many times have you ever wanted to get your friends’ or family members’ photo to look like a drawing?

Whether you do desktop publishing or not, you probably had to deal with graphics at some point, maybe to create a personalized birthday card or just to do something fun. One of the nice things that can be done is to get a photo to look like a sketch, just to give it that taste, that… something to add personality to it. You can of course use progams like Photoshop, but for the occasional user it’s bound to be a little too much both in costs and in learning curve.

When talking about obtaining a sketch from a photo, Photo to Sketch is usually enough for the occasional user with its various options. You can make several types of sketches which simulate pens, pencils, pastels and brushes.
