Hidden away in the paint synthesizer in the Path Start control panel is the ‘Sketch to Internal Path Memory 1‘ option for the path start Generator parameter. This particular path start Generator option can be very powerful if you are interested in creating sketch style paint effects. But it can also be confusing to work…
Yesterday’s post described how to automatically generate a set of bezier paths derived from the source image, and then paint in the bezier paths with a vector paint preset. Today we will show how you can use additional manual bezier editing steps to stylize a set of bezier paths prior to painting them in with…
Today’s post describes how to build a simple crisp pencil sketch effect. The effect is painted in with 2 applications of a paint synthesizer vector paint preset that renders a smooth thin gray vector paint stroke. Rather than using the paint synthesizer’s auto-paint features, a set of bezier paths that represent the sketch strokes are…
Today’s post shows off a simple black and white sketch effect you can create with 2 passes of the Sketch Mass image operation effect. Like the Watershed Sketch ip op we discussed yesterday, you can use Sketch Mass to automatically generate bezier paths if you want to use the paint synthesizer to paint in the…
Yesterday we used the Watershed Sketch image operation effect to build a stylized color sketch effect. Today we’ll continue where we left off with yesterday’s discussion, by using the Watershed Sketch effect to drive the paint synthesizer for painting in a more visually complex sketch effect (based on the same 2 Watershed Sketch presets we…
