A drawing style inspired by Lyle

[dinasset]

Having seen a thread of Lyle recently re-discovered, I decided to create a small filter.
As usual I added my "personal" flavour.
Here the filter:

DIEGO_DRAW_DrawThruDiffusionTensors.7z

Below some examples of outcomes.

Decided to use it on different image sources (animal, landscape, portrait, cityscape, seascape, flower, forest) and played with different tensors sizes (a parameter of the filter).

Playing with the tensors size you can obtain very different outcomes. Really fun.

[level_0]

Thank you dinasset for this new toy.

[Issabella]

Thank you so much Dinasset, Starting to play your new filter.
Thanks Lyle for your experimentation and to share your method and results.

[MareroQ]

I really like the effect achieved.
Thank You for sharing and examples.

[dinasset]

Thanks you all for testing it.
Lyle's flow was very well defined, so it's he who deserves any appreciation.
An it's also a non complex flow, each one can follow it manually, with personal modifications.
I just added my "flavour" in my filter.

[dinasset]

For those who like this kind of effect.
Modified the description and added reference to the tensors size used in the outcome.

Also prepared a "simplified" version which does not make use of "smoothing" steps.

Below results with the simplified version.

Interesting filter, thank you dinasset and lylejk.
My first run seems a bit dark, will take a look at the filter parameters later to customize settings.
edit: just saw simplified, that's more like where I'm heading

[dinasset]

Thanks Nidhogg.
In any case -info for you and any other tester- it's very easy to modify the final look by:
- activating the last visible layer
- modify the layer mode (DODGE for instance, SCREEN, ...) and/or the opacity
