- Is this a real drawing or an edge filter?
- Generative redraw, not an edge-detect filter — the AI produces actual stroke-like linework and hatching, so shading follows the forms in your photo the way a hand drawing would.
- Can I get a colored sketch instead of graphite?
- Pick the Watercolor or Comic-ink style on the same page for colored hand-made looks, or type a custom style like 'colored pencil drawing' in the prompt box.
- What photos sketch best?
- High-contrast photos with a clear subject — portraits, pets, architecture. Flat or hazy lighting produces a softer, fainter drawing.
- Can I sketch only the background?
- Yes — choose 'Style only part of it' and brush the area to sketch; everything else stays photographic.
