Sketch Photo Without Photoshop
If you do a search, there are many tutorials on how to turn your photos to a sketch using Photoshop. It’s great, but only if you have Photoshop. We know how expensive this software is, and the price is a number that not everyone can deal with. Luckily, there are other ways to do it. You can use online photo editor that supports sketching capability or use an application like Portable FotoSketcher.
Like the name suggests, Portable FotoSketcher doesn’t require installation. So you can sketch any photo using any computer as long as you carry it inside your USB drive and the OS installed within the computer you’re using is Windows. Have I mentioned that the usage is very simple?

It is indeed very simple that everyone can learn it quickly. You simply add the photo that you want to sketch and then control how the sketch should be drawn using the slide bars. Before saving the sketched photo, you can preview and compare it with the original one. Beside the pencil sketch, there are also other styles like pen and ink drawing. You can even beautify the sketched photo with a frame.
Not enough? Well, it lets you to save every move you take in turning your photo into a sketch, drawing or painting as a profile. If you want to sketch other photos with the same options or steps like you have done previously, you can just pick the suitable profile and load it, then save it as a JPEG image if everything is already perfect.
So, do you still need Photoshop to convert your photo into a pencil sketch?
