A few of my blog friends asked about how I managed the pencil drawing in my PhotoHunt picture last Saturday.  Does a girl have to give all her secrets away?

Oh all right then ;-)   This magic page made the transformation for me.

And here is one I made earlier:

Before transformation…

Wedding Cakes

After transformation…

    Not a new thing Cherie,
    60 years ago as a small boy I used to do things like that with nothing more than tracing paper and a pencil!
    Of course it’s much quicker now with a computer.

      Ah yes I used to do the tracing paper. We used to use Izal toilet paper LOL.

      I don’t think my efforts were quite as good as cheating with a computer programme ;-)

    I dunno, Cherie – you’ve blasted away one of my delusions now ;-) ! But I still think it looks like magic, creating a 2B pencil drawing from a photo. Still, takes resourcefulness and patience to explore and use all these new skills; so you still deserve a pat on the back.
    And I want those cakes …:-)!

    • CherryPie says:

      Well the original pic was an exclusive of mine ;-)

      Those cakes were delicious, I have to admit I ate two! & I am supposed to be on a diet :-O

    PS Why can’t I read Phidelm this morning? Any ideas?
