Have yet another question

[Matt_343]

Hello all,

Here are 2 drawings. 1 the sketch I did, the other from xara.

My question is this, how can I make the "Xara" drawing look more like a pencil drawing. I have experimented with brush and strokes and the xara one was the best I could come up with.

Any suggestions?

As always thanks.
Matt

Try placing the bitmap image over the color image and apply a 100% Flat, Stained Glass transparency. Set all of the outlines in your vector drawing to none.

If necessary, make one or two clones of the bitmap to increase the density of the pencil drawing. That ought to do it.

Gary - that's amazing - thank you so much! Am doing a change-of-address for someone with drawing of the house, which was far too pale. Problem solved with perfect timing.
