Sketch of caver wanted

Bob Mehew

I am looking for someone who can make a simple outline sketch of a caver. I don't want to get into detail as to what I am after as it is work in progress and would spoil it's presentation. So please PM me and I can explain in more detail.

If this is still active and you haven't had a response yet there are lots of programs on the 'net which convert a photo into an outline.

This is a sample:-
How to turn a picture into a line drawing in Photoshop
  1. Adjust the contrast of your photo.
  2. Set up your layers.
  3. Convert the image to grayscale using an adjustment layer.
  4. Convert your photo to a line drawing.
  5. Set your Background and Foreground colors.
  6. Add Pencil Shading to your image.
  7. Add a cross-hatching effect to your image.

Thanks for the instructions but I don't have Photoshop. I do have GIMP but have not figured out how to do the equivalent but will have another go using your instructions. I did try the on line programs but none provided a clean image or else wanted me to sign up.

Media.io reported AI processing failed but suncatcherstudio.com did manage to extract a fair amount. To be fair to them, the image is a caver in black against a black back ground. I then tried a version where I used GIMP to convert it into greyscale. That worked better. So I have something I can use. Thank you.
