You can halt the creation of an image 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 creation cycle, just tap
.
Use a previously created image as the starting point for a new creation. Sketchie always uses the image on
the screen as the starting image, so instead of loading a new image try continuing the creation by tapping
and
several times without loading a new image in between.
Try different image modes and adjustments between creations. Create an image, then before using it as the
new starting image change the mode to grey 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 can produce stunning results.
Try different widths and lengths for the brush strokes. Thinner strokes tend to work better with grey images;
wider strokes with colour images. The number of strokes drawn in each cycle can also affect the appearance of
the image created.
Drawing a grey image with colour brush strokes can produce very interesting results. Tap
, then
and tap the colour button
to create an image with colour brush strokes. If the image on the screen is already a colour image, change it
to grey first by tapping the grey button
then tap the colour button to create the image in colour.
Changing an image created in colour to a sepia image often produces a very pleasing image.
When working with portraits, clear, 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.
The pencil tool can be accessed by an upwards swipe gesture whenever Sketchie is not working on an image.

The best way to see what Sketchie can do is experiment with different control settings and target images and see what emerges!
