Hi all,

I've been trying to develop a sketchy style for a Revit to Photoshop workflow. This image is REALLY low resolution - just a quick (30 minute) effort to get the style across.

Thoughts?

I think it works. Unless it's done really well, I don't like comp'd photographic elements added to a renderings (particularly one that is NPR in style). In your rendering it really only bothers me on that big tree on the right. So my advice would be to do a little processing to you entourage so that it takes on a less photographic feel.

Good point - I'll take a look at it.

Agreed, but digging it.

The free fotosketcher does a great job with turning photographic trees to a watercolor look.

Nice work BTW.

I like this. It has a grunge dirty look to it, but it works and works well. I agree w/Elevation, that tree on the right is bothersome, but it's fixable.
