artwork, effortless style

From Photos to Color Sketches in seconds

I always love seeing interior designers websites where they have drawings/renderings of their work. I love to draw, but I don’t have crazy skills were I could do anything near as good as Michelle Morel.

Yesterday though I started playing around with fotoflexer and when I uploaded my photos and applied the color sketch filter and played with the saturation I got some pretty results!

Check it out:

I’m sort of obsessed. If I didn’t have a bunch of client work to do I would probably have played for longer, but work called and I had to stop.

Make sure you have some free time available before you start playing. It’s addictive!

    Too cool! I was looking for a new way to create some unique artwork. Fotoflex could be that tool… now to find time to play with it.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.

Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
