Build a library of your artistic styles, each echoing a different facet of your creative spirit. From bold, high-contrast portraits to soft, dreamy landscapes, the realm of customization is your boundless canvas. Let’s see how it works.
How It Works: A Seamless Creative Journey
Commence with the Perfect Foundation:
Choose from our curated styles that captivate your artistic sense. For instance, let’s stick with the Oil Pen, Black and White style, since this is one of my most favourite styles. Although, I like the structure introduced of the style and it’s general appeal, I prefer colored styles more. So let’s start the editing process.
Tailor to Your Preferences:
Using the Editing tools of Graphite, I start with increasing the saturation to turn the black-and-white artwork into a colorful rendition. In addition, I choose a different canvas that is slightly lighter, since it fits more to my personal taste.
Accentuate Your Stroke:
Now lets fine tune the actual strokes of the pencil style. For this, I use the Adjust-Tool of Graphite. I slightly reduce the smudge parameter to get more crisps strokes. In addition, I increase the stroke amount to get more broader and slightly rougher strokes. As a result, I have increased the roughness of the curated Oil Pen style, creating a totally new style that fits more to my taste.
Save and Reuse:
As soon as a curated style has been edited, a new style is added to the beginning of the style selection menu. With a simple tap on the small plus button, my Custom Style is born. I can give it a name and save it! Now I can use it on every new picture, saving precious time and ensuring consistency across my creations.
Your Style, Anywhere, Anytime
With Custom Styles, your artistic playground expands across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Turn your portrait into a sketch with adjustments on your iPhone’s touch screen, then reuse that same style on your Macbook for another photo that is logged in that device. Your Custom Styles teleport between devices like magic, always at your fingertips. Your creativity transcends devices, letting you paint the world with your unique touch, wherever you go.
