What people make with picture to drawing

A gift portrait, a wedding card, a Cricut cut and a pet keepsake. Drag each one to compare, then use the same style on your own photo.

Pencil sketch

Pencil drawing from photo, made to frame

Soft graphite follows every laugh line, his beard and the tweed of his jacket, while the garden fades into white paper. The classic choice for a grandparent's portrait, an anniversary or a memorial gift.

Line drawing

Line drawing for cards, tracing and tattoos

The laughter, the bouquet and the suit become thin, flowing ink lines, and the city hall steps shrink to a few strokes. Print it on a card, trace it onto paper or take it to your tattoo artist.

Outline

Photo to outline for Cricut and laser cutting

The park and the bench disappear, leaving the dog's contour, ears and bandana in bold, even lines on white. That's what cutting machines, laser engravers and stencils need.

Colored pencil

Pet photo to drawing in colored pencil

The ginger fur, teal velvet chair and mustard throw keep their colors, drawn in visible hatching with white paper at the edges. A pet portrait that looks handmade, for a birthday or a memorial.

Frame it, give it, make it

A download is only the start. Print the portrait for the wall, send the line art as a card, or engrave the outline into wood.
