1. Choose your photo
Open a photo in Pencil Sketch. A clear subject and visible edges give you an easier starting point when comparing effects.
2. Try a pencil style
Explore Pencil Drawing or Gray Pencil in the style toolbar. Compare how each style treats lines, shading and background detail.
3. Adjust the look
Use the app’s adjustment controls to refine the image. Aim to keep the features you care about visible rather than making every detail equally dark.
4. Save your favorite
Review the sketch at a useful viewing size, then save the version you like. Keep the original photo so you can explore another style later.
