Editing Pencil Drawings using Picmonkey



   Just like editing photos can be great fun, so can editing drawings. There's some great things you can do with Picmonkey!


   I drew this from a the book One Day You'll Know by Lauren Brooke (one of those Heartland books). 


   On the "touch-up" section of Picmonkey, I colored the picture in and maybe added more shadowing. We just use the free Picmonkey editor, so I maybe used eyebrow pencil to color the hair, or lipstick to color the eyes. ;P


    Then on "effects" I did some other things, like changed the coloring, added clarity, maybe added contrast. These are some of my results from playing around with it. :)






  This one is my fav. I changed the picture back to plain black and white, but with all the changes it looks SO MUCH more realistic! :D I love it, even though it makes my original drawing look dull and not-very-good. ;P


  After those awesome results, I had to try again. I used an eye I drew.



Original drawing


  Black and white after editing. OH MY GOODNESS IT LOOKS SO MUCH MORE REAL! ;P It looks a lot like the picture that I drew the original drawing from. It was a picture of my eye.


Here are some "edits" in color.



   I just love this!! =D



HAVE YOU TRIED THIS? DO YOU THINK IT LOOKS LIKE FUN? ;)

    WHOA, THAT IS SO COOL!!

    I found a sketch on Pinterest ('cause I'm really bad at drawing) and edited it. The original sketch is at https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/c2/63/62/c26362493601e28cb3a0e2b534857f99.jpg, but the changes I made are at file:///C:/Users/Administrator/Pictures/Temp/c26362493601e28cb3a0e2b534857f99ART.jpg. (*whispers*) That was so neat. I had no idea you could use PicMonkey to do that! :)

      Thanks so much! =D

      Unfortunately, I couldn't find the drawing after you edited it. :\ I really wanted to see it!

      But I'm glad you like the idea! :D

    Hey this is so cool!
    We've colored old black and white pictures, and drawings - it's so fun! ;P and we like to play around with them and make book covers. ;D ("we" meaning me and LaKaysha ;P)
