Designers use the program to quickly bring images to one style for a website, an Instagram account, or an advertisement booklet. You can make a pencil portrait as a gift for your relatives and friends, print your sketch on a T-Shirt, decorate a room with a watercolor drawing, or a poster. You can also add a frame to your drawing to create a real work of art. You can personalize your pencil sketch by inserting a signature, a greeting, a logo, or a watermark add a rough texture surface to your image, as if it had been drawn on canvas, corrugated paper, brick wall, etc. Put an accent to certain parts of the image by blurring the rest of it in an artistic way. Using the software you can also add some unique background effects to your picture! Create a combination of a sketch and a photo, mixing drawings with real life imitate motion, or add a 'time machine effect' by swirling the background.

You can create your own presets with your favorite combinations of the photo to drawing parameters. The program offers a list of ready-to-use presets which make it easier to work with the software and save you time. Then you can compare versions of the drawing and choose the best one.

Watch the process and choose between the snapshots. The extremely helpful Timeline feature allows you to get semi-processed sketches and variations of your drawing.

You can adjust all the settings: make the hatching denser or finer, change the pitch angle of strokes, choose the pencil color, etc. At first, you can process the picture with the default settings and then touch up the image by adding color or trying different techniques - from pencil to charcoal or watercolor. AKVIS Sketch has a neat interface with a few sliders.
