Sometimes lines alone are not enough.

Getting closer.

Thanks Mahvin, but no where near the simplication skills of a real artist. Still, believe it or not, it doesn't take that long to get this result (around 7 to 10 minutes and I bet I can now do it in 3). G'MIC and some layer mode blends along with some cleanup cloning.

Have you tried rendering a pencil sketch of the image first to see if it simplifies the process?

No but may try later. Eating lunch now, and will chill a bit after that. lol

Lyle maybe you could line sketch these highland cattle?


from here.

OK, Tas; some details lost due to the low rez to begin with (believe I could have done a better rendering if I had a higher rez image to begin with, but here's a result. I did add some engrave to this blend to address some things that have to do with artifacts created during the additional convolution step added to get me some details back.

Lyle, the cattle are nice but I really love the bunny!

Thanks Pat; I agree with you too.

Thanks Lyle. I should have sent the link for this image.

I was looking at some owned by a friend a few days ago and thought they were hairy enough for your line drawings.

Lyle, I was wondering if it's okay to engrave one of your stencil/engrave creations on a wood block?

Have no problem with that, Nidhogg; sorry for the belated reply (just got home from my full time weekend job).

Thanks Lyle, I posted the result here. Love this style you created.
