Numerous presets are available to allow converting photos into pen or pencil sketches, creating color drawings or watercolor paintings in just a few moments. You can tweak each preset to create a drawing that matches your desired style just perfect.

Creating a wonderful colorful sketch with accurately laid pencil strokes could not be made easier. You don’t have to be able to hold a color pencil or even own one! All you need to turn a photo into a color sketch is Sketch Drawer.
Sketch Drawer allows producing color and black-and-white sketches equally easy. Draw with colored pencils by ticking the "Color Sketch" box to convert a photo into a color sketch, or clear the box to draw with a graphite pencil. Converting images to sketches and saving them as JPEG files will only take a few clicks and tweaks. Change photos to sketches with multiple art options.
