Publisher's description of AKVIS Sketch

From AKVIS:

AKVIS Sketch is an award-winning program for conversion of photos into pencil sketches and watercolor drawings. Make any photo look like a B&W or color drawing, imitate the technique of graphite or color pencil, charcoal or watercolor painting. The program works in an entertaining way. It allows observing the conversion of a photo into a drawing/watercolor in real time and even interrupting the process when the required result is achieved.

Version 8 includes a Quick Preview window that saves you time when fine-tuning the settings and added Exif and IPTC data support.

Version: AKVIS Sketch 8.5

"Best and Most Accurate Pic 2 Sketch Tool Available!!"

by VIIAP on January 7, 2009

Pros: I was looking for a nice pic to sketch tool for my work but most sketch tools I've found just gave simple, childish results. AKVIS Sketch is simply perfect!! very nice results with many useful options so the output will be what you've imagined...

Cons: Looking for Pen(Blue color) sketch but there isn't... I hope they'll add it to future version.

Summary: Looking for a nice tool to make your pictures to sketch(hand drawing) then go for AKVIS Sketch!!
Forget others, I checked them all ;) But you can try it yourself but I promise you'll back for AKVIS Sketch...
