Tips
Strength 60–90 gives a natural pencil look; drop it low to keep more of the original photo showing through.
Detail controls the blur radius: low values keep fine lines sharp, higher values give softer, shading-heavy sketches.
Pair Cream/Parchment paper with Sepia pencil for a warm vintage drawing, or White + Ink black for a crisp scan look.
How it works: The photo is converted to luminance, the inverted image is box-blurred, and a color-dodge blend draws the sketch. Strength mixes the sketch with the original, then the result is mapped onto your paper tone with the selected pencil color. All pixel math runs in your browser.
