Easy Sketch Tool
on:
August 24, 2017, 03:13:32 PM
Hi all,
Im trying a watercolour portrait project where im going for a realistic feel as a challenge. So i didnt want to muck around free hand for the sketch as I want to focus on getting the painting solid and wanted a good base sketch. I found this tool which makes a decent sketch without much effort. And its free so i thought id share

Thanks for sharing that, Trev. I have bookmarked it for future reference.
For getting the actual image onto your canvas, the tracing method using the self-made transfer paper of wax paper works like a charm. I made my transfer (size of a standard printing paper sheet) more than three years ago and am still using it! Also made a smaller one for 4 x 6" size works.
Here's how to do it.

Use rubbing alcohol in place of those more flammable liquids.

Hi,Win.
It's an online resource. You upload a photo, pencil it (as they call it) and then download the pencil image to use.

Thanks Trev for this hint. Could be useful. Mea, the self-made transfer paper is ofcourse an everlasting tool.
