Pen and Ink Portrait From Your Photo
Your photograph redrawn in black ink on white paper, with every tone built from line alone — crosshatching, layered fine strokes and solid masses of black, never gray shading. The result has the energy of a hand-drawn editorial illustration rather than a filter run over a photo.
Faces, hair texture and clothing stay true to the picture you upload, and the place you were stays with you: the same room, the same table, the same background, simplified into line work. The eyes get the most care of anything in the drawing.
