Pencil Sketch of Mosque by Judy Merson

March 2023 - Pencil Sketch of Mosque

About the Image(s)

I took this with my IPhone 12 Pro Max I brought it into Photoshop to turn it into a pencil sketch Then I used a layer mask to bring back the color in the dome I used one of my own skies in mono since the original sky was bland when made into a pencil sketch

Cleverly done, nice result. Some of the transchange, under the dome has been clipped. I don't know how to revive it. I applaud your effort,though, as it is exploring new vistas amongst our group. You continue to be our tech-leader!   Posted: 03/03/2023 17:25:17

You had a vision for this image and I think you created it. I like the colored dome but would prefer the dome sketched as the rest of the building, but still have the color added. Also, I tend to want the sky sketched as well. But you are the artist here.   Posted: 03/04/2023 17:48:32

Thank you I will try keeping the sketch on the dome and just coloring it I plan to use black as well as the dome color   Posted: 03/04/2023 19:04:42

Because this is a sketch, you might try a version with the sky being white; no detail. I think it might focus attention more on the building. Another way of doing your sketch application.   Posted: 03/06/2023 09:47:30

Judy, you do come up with interesting ideas! I think this was a good choice for a pencil sketch version. Actually, I prefer your original version with the gold dome. The all bw are interesting, but the original holds my attention more. It says "wow! look at me!!" I almost wonder if a clear sky would be better. The image is busy enough without it. A blank space might give the eye a place to rest.

I agree with Bill to leave the sky clear.   Posted: 03/11/2023 06:14:52

That's cool! I like it as is.. But in the spirit, maybe more detail in the sky and a little darker dome?   Posted: 03/11/2023 20:33:44
