How to turn a photo into a pencil sketch in Microsoft Word
First, to show you what youâre in for since thisâll be a long post:
Hereâs what I ended with
 I started out with a picture of a jackalope. Youâll want a picture with a lot of details and a fairly high definition-- no visible pixels. I tried with an axolotl picture earlier and it turned out lame-- too smooth a body
see? that was the best I could do before I gave up.
tutorial below the cut
So my first step is removing the background, and this one is the slightly more complicated way of doing it, but in an occupied background you have to
To the side, you can see I copy/pasted the same picture so I could have a ref. So click on picture-> Picture Format-> Remove Background and you get this pink stuff. The pink stuff will become transparent, the stuff thatâs white will stay. You have to draw on the picture until it gets it, and warning, this part can be VERY frustrating (I use this tool a lot)
But draw on it until it looks right (You can always press Keep Changes and if it doesnât look right go back into the tool and fix it)
And now itâs just a floating bunny! That in itself is pretty awesome. But weâre sketchi-fying this.
First I usually crop it cuz the new image will usually be smaller
Now, you should grayscale it
Aw bunny got kinda blurry
Fix it up in corrections. Sharpen it and fix brightness and contrast. This is always different but play with it until the details are sharp. Itâs okay if it looks unrealistic, this is turning it into a drawing.
Okay, so I already have the tool over on the right open, but to get to it yourself click on Artistic Effects Options, and then go to the bottom right where it says Artistic Effects.
Click the little image thingy and select an effect. The best Iâve found is âPencil Grayscaleâ but âPencil Sketchâ also works. It depends on the picture.
Hereâs how they can look different.
But wait. Those effects were there, why did I have to go to options?
See those two slidy scales? Thatâs how you get it to look right. FIddle around with the scales until you like how it looks.
Bunny sketch!
You can be done there but Iâm a little crazy. So here I went to Design->Page Color-> and adjusted it to an off-white. So it looks like aged paper.
What might happen if you do this is it becomes obvious that thereâs white in the image. Howâs you get white on yellow paper? (I forgot to take a screenshot when I first did this ignore the tiger to the side)
Go back to color->More Variations and click on the same color you used for the background
Now, look at that bunny drawing!
Remember how I said that was the more complicated way to take the background off? When you have a picture with a solid color background like my tiger here
it gets a lot easier
Go back to color, click âset transparent colorâ
My mouse moved to take the picture. But click on your solid color background
And itâll make it transparent! This is also useful if at any point the background color stands out from the page.
Hereâs my sketch. But I donât like the hard edge along the bottom, you donât sketch like that. So into Remove background
Yikes, itâs all in his face. But that's okay, thatâs just the transparent part, when you exit it looks fine:
Look at him! He looks great!
And thatâs all I got! Hope you enjoyed and learned something! Explore artistic effects, color options-- transparency can also be useful, along with soft edges. Experiment with some of the stuff here, thereâs a bunch of different uses!Â
Oh, if you have trouble positioning your picture on the page, try right click->wrap text-> in front of text (or behind text). If you have that on you can move it anywhere on the page, but if you want text around it you might have to adjust accordingly. The Wrap Text one is good. You can also put it in a textbox.
Iâve been playing with photo editing in Microsoft Word for quite a while now. If you have any questions or want some advice feel free to message me. Oh, and if you do sketchify an image feel free to send it to me Iâd love to see!
