Add a Hand-Drawn Look to Your Pictures with AKVIS Draw v.1.1

AKVIS announces the first public release of AKVIS Draw, its new artistic software for creating pencil drawings from photos. The new product comes in Windows and Mac versions, and can be used as a standalone application or a Photoshop plugin.

AKVIS Draw lets you create hand drawn pencil sketches and line art pictures from your photographs! The software makes both B&W and color drawings. The program is incredibly easy to use; it lets you make a realistic looking one-click drawing effect in a quick and simple way. Just load your image into the program and adjust settings to generate an artwork. The software creatively produces pencil strokes imitating an artist's view.
Equipped with the ready-to-use presets and adjustable parameters, the program renders various “esquisse” drawing styles. The program supports the batch processing feature that lets you turn all your photos into a sketchbook or a storyboard within just minutes.
