Thats cool.
What did you use?

[Steelsun]

I like them.

What/where is the action?

Love 'em. Do share!

PaintShop Pro calls the filter/effect "Pencil". If you combine greyscale and "Pencil" you get basically this same result.

Thanks...I did them by modifying an action found on atncentral - Isabel's Pastel Sketch... It is really a marvelous action. Have fun with it...

Those are really nice - a testament to the great original photos you started with.

I initially thought you had DRAWN those images from photos onto an Etch-a-Sketch (I have seen quite remarkable Etch-a-Sketch drawings!) and was quite amazed! Later in the thread I learned it was an effect from PSP so my amazement 'decreased' a bit but I still like the effect. I gotta try it, too. I really like pencil, ink, and charcoal drawings, and especially appreciate the handiwork of artists who can do it by hand. I, unfortunately, will have to do it with PSP.
