The purple Roller turned out so good yesterday when I turned it into a pencil drawing that I thought I might just try with a few other photos… what do you think.??
A male ostrich…
A wild dog….
A heffalump….
A mouse bird… I actually like this one…
A Gnu a gunother gnu…
Someone I know… this app works well on humans…
I could not get myself to turn my beautiful daughter into a pencil drawing… so I used a soft focus instead… she is really concentrating on something here…
The Photographic Journey of bulldog. 
I love these effects! Just wish I had the interesting shots to apply them to… 😉
Thanks Lorna… would not normally do this but the ailment was keeping me in the house, just got bored…
HMMM that is hard to pick my favorite?… they all look neat. But… I choose the heffalump, if I choose one. Looks like you were having fun.
I was a little bored not being up to my usual self… stuck inside the house with nothing else to do…
I think it is fun and refreshing to our minds to play with new artistic apps 🙂
It is but I still prefer the originals…
What a cool app. Your “someone i know” reminds of the style of Toulouse-Lautrec!
Thanks Carol… I can’t name him without first asking if I can… but it just struck me it was like a old time artist…
These are all wonderful Bulldog! I had no idea that this was available on Picasa. Quite a lovely daughter you have, and I agree that random shots are always more interesting.
Thank LuAnn…
Wow quite amazing what you can do these days! Looking good!
Thanks Ute… not to become a regular on the blog…
The heffalump 😉 and wild dog are my favorites. And your daughter is beautiful…even when she is concentrating! I wouldn’t have used the app on her either!
Thanks Mrs P. I love to capture the family naturally rather than posed… and this one of my just appeals to me… the concentration level is very indicative of her…
Ditto for me on capturing family naturally.
I like these. You know what you could possibly do? You could use some of them to etch onto metal and glass, or create that wood burning art!

Now that is a brilliant idea… clever Diana… I’ve got the tools for glass etching but never tried it… now I will…. thank you…
Oh you will have to share the projects you try!
I will…
These are fabulous, Rob. The photo of the man really reminds me of a Van Gogh self-portrait 😀
It does doesn’t it… I’ve been wondering why it look familiar.. Thanks Dianne…
Sono molto belle, soprattutto l’elefante e l’uccello!!
Ciao, salutone. Pat
Thanks Pat
I am impress with the amount of detail the app picks up.
Thank you I thought they came out quite well…
Great stuff with these apps Bulldog, I’ve yet to try anything like this…
Thanks Sherri…. maybe a sign of boredom…
Hope you are feeling better now…
A fun app!
And – how sweet – your comment on the photo of your beautiful daughter. 🙂
Thanks RoSy…
I love how detailed these “drawings” look! Totally amazing how much photography apps have changed everything related to picture-taking in these last 5 yrs!
It is amazing what one can do with software…
and the dog…with the intense STARE
Thanks Gail…
I’m a fan of the elephant!
Me too thanks Gail…
What fun you had with your app! I love the mouse bird the most. You can’t beat your original photos though. 🙂
Thanks AD I do prefer the photos… just bored I think…
I prefer the real thing but it’s fun playing around. Quite amazing what can be done. They’re all good, especially the wild dog.
Thanks Brian… yep just a bit bored and nothing else to do…
This is pretty cool!!!
Thank you
I love it!
Thanks Andy
I like how the dog came out best. There is a good amount of difference in him and his background so that he stands out from it.
Thank you… I like the wild dog one, but the photos are much better…
I particularly like the heffalump, I think his big greyness lends itself to pencil well.
I agree Vanessa… thanks…
Wow, it looks just like drawings … I have that on my photo editing program; PhotoScape. Have to give it a try. The photo with your daughter is lovely with the soft edges. Great playing around.
Thanks Viveka… some come out well others not so good…
We have to make failure to make success. Keep on playing. *smile
Reblogged this on The Mirror Obscura and commented:
These are some wonderful renderings. >KB
Thank you for the reblog.. and kind words…
you’re very welcome. It’s my policy to re-post at least 4 sites a day that I think would be interesting to what readers I have. Best>kb
They came out beautiful. Love the ostrich and the wild dog. >KB
Thank you so much
You are very welcomed. I thought they were grand pieces. >KB
I liked them all too, they are amazing images. Thank you dear Rob, love, nia
Thanks Nia…
Now that is just so beautiful Rob. I can see you had lots of fun. 😀
Lovely photo of your daughter. Yes, I know that look. It’s a ‘take one shot of me again and I will slap you soooo hard’ look. hahahahaha
Just kidding. 😀
Have a great day. 🙂
Thanks Sonel… daughters look could be saying just that… lol
I would agree because I have that same look if I see a camera moving my way. 😆
I like all of ’em, bulldog. The ostrich is a bit fuzzy, but I think the rest are great.
Russ
The liight for the ostrich was not very good, and it looks alright in colour I agree not so good in pencil…
They are amazing but I prefer your photos. Don’t fix something that isn’t broken – isn’t that the saying……. just saying
Thanks Jan… just a little detour for fun…
Love the mousebird and the human ‘pencil’ sketches.
IMHO the ‘heffalump’ and ostrich images don’t have enough contrast (or light & shade) to be truly successful with this app.
Thanks Vicki… just a little fun… prefer the photos…
That was fun!~
Thanks Anneli…
