Sketchie

You can stop rendering at any time - you don't have to wait until all cycles are completed. If an image emerges that you are happy with before the end of the animation, just touch .
Use an already rendered image as the starting point, or target, for a new rendering. Sketchie always uses the image on the screen as the target image, so instead of loading a new image, try continuing the rendering by touching and several times.
Try different image modes and adjustments between renderings. Render an image, then before using it as the new target, change the mode to greyscale or sepia, or invert all colours. Try adjusting the colour saturation or hue, changing the brightness or contrast, or the amount of red, green or blue in the image. Doing this several times and re-rendering an image can produce stunning results.
Try different widths and lengths for the brush strokes. Thinner strokes tend to work better with greyscale images; wider strokes with colour images. The number of strokes painted in each cycle can also affect the appearance of the rendered image.
Rendering a greyscale image with colour brush strokes can produce very interesting results. Touch , then and select the colour icon to render an image with colour brush strokes. If the image on the screen is already a colour image, change it to greyscale first by selecting the greyscale icon, then select the colour icon to render the image in colour.
Changing an image rendered in colour to a sepia image often produces a very pleasing image.
When working with portraits, bright faces against an uncluttered background give the best results.
The image on the screen can be rotated using the touch screen two-finger rotate gesture.
Remember to save images that you want to keep! Touch to save the image on the screen.
