How to Use Crayon GFX to Transform Your Photos into Drawings
Ready to turn your photo into a crayon drawing? Let’s dive in. Get started in the Pastel category of the Photo Editor and drag and drop any image onto your canvas.
Step 1: Add the Crayon GFX Effect
Select the Crayon GFX effect and watch as BeFunky’s advanced AI technology works to analyze your photo to determine the best way to transform it into a vibrant crayon-style masterpiece. The effect is applied automatically, recreating the look and texture of hand-drawn crayon linework while preserving the essential details of your image.
Step 2: Fine Tune the Effect
Once the effect has been applied, you can make it truly your own by fine-tuning its settings. Click on the Settings icon to open the customization options. Here, you’ll find a range of sliders that let you control exactly how the effect is applied to your image.
- Amount: Adjust how prominently the crayon effect appears. Increase it for bold, colorful strokes, or dial it back for a more subtle, textured look.
- Fidelity: This setting controls how closely the effect follows the finer details of your original image. Higher fidelity retains more intricate details of your original image, while a lower setting creates a looser, more abstract result.
- Smoothness: Tweak the smoothness slider to refine the texture of the crayon strokes. A smoother finish gives a polished, uniform look, while less smoothness adds a raw, handcrafted feel.
- Variation: Add depth and dimension to your design by adjusting the variation slider. This controls the diversity of the crayon strokes, making the effect feel more dynamic and lifelike.
These tools give you the power to experiment until your design perfectly matches your creative vision, whether you’re aiming for playful and bold or soft and delicate. Don’t be afraid to test different combinations – this is where the magic happens! When you are satisfied with your combination, click the Apply button.
Step 3: Save Your Crayon Drawing
Once you’re happy with your crayon-inspired creation, it’s time to save your work. Click the Save button at the top of your canvas. Choose the format and destination that best fits your needs. You can even send it directly to Zazzle from this menu for professional printing!
With just a few clicks, your crayon masterpiece will be ready to share with the world, print for a personal project, or store for future inspiration.
