Better than Diffusion: a Non-Neural Photo to Sketch Converter

While Sketch Drawer does rely on your computer’s CPU and GPU resources to craft your drawings, it does not use diffusion-based neural networks. Artificial intelligence is great for creating realistic and diverse pictures through its neural networks. However, ongoing privacy concerns, as well as the infamous issues with the quality of small details, particularly in human anatomy and facial features, persist when using artificial intelligence to generate such images. These are the main reasons why we decided against using diffusion-based neural networks in our photo to sketch conversion software.

Tips for Creating Great Sketches

For optimal results, consider the following tips:

Upload high-resolution images. We recommend images that are at least 2,000 pixels high.
Note that reduced-size previews may not look all that great when displaying ultra-high-resolution photos (5,000 pixels or more). Zoom in to view your sketch, and make sure to always use full-size versions of the images for printing.
An artistic tip: you can blur the source photograph slightly to achieve better conversions. The slight blur will avoid overcomplicating your sketch with unwanted details like grass or leaves.
