About the Image(s)

I took a photo of my daughter and decided to make it into a sketch and soften it. Then I added some grain around her to frame her.

Lovely image of your daughter.
I like what you have done to the image post processing. Very different. I would be interested to know how you made "background" round her head as very striking.
Only thing I may suggest is to just include a little of her jumper on the right just to ground the image a little?

So, I needed to do a little research on sketch editing, it is not something that I have seen very much, but I like what you did with the photograph. Specifically, I like that you did not go with black and white. I saw a lot of that on-line, and a lot of it looks good, but I think sticking with color was the better choice here. I also fell that you have the right amount of a sketch look, instead of going with something that creates an outline of your daughter. I agree with Angela that maybe showing some more shoulder would help, but this was nicely done.   Posted: 07/07/2025 13:03:45

I liked this sketch photography. Also this is my first time.
You did a very good post processing. I agree with Angela include a little of her jumper on the right.   Posted: 07/09/2025 21:44:51

Rose, your "Sketch Stacey" radiates warmth and creativity-a tender portrayal of your daughter rendered with thoughtful nuance. Your use of soft color over black and white gives the piece a refreshing individuality that enhances emotional depth.

The framing grain effect subtly directs attention and adds a touch of artistic drama. I echo the gentle suggestion to include a bit more of the jumper on the right-it could add balance and a sense of grounding without detracting from the portrait's delicacy.

Altogether, it's a heartfelt and well-executed piece. Beautiful work.
