Examples
Here are examples what you can get using line art software.Animal Line Drawing
Because you need to preserve the contour and details like fur, eyes, and the surrounding grass and trees, you can use the Detailed conversion style.
Bird Line Drawing
Bird photos are always special because of the unique shape of the wings and the brilliant colors of each feather.
Tree Line Drawing
Trees have the highest detail and texture, especially because of the small leaves, flowers, and branches. Creating a tree drawing from an image will require you to preserve all those details, which means using the Realistic style of Detailed style would be better.
You can also choose the Pen preset, as the fine lines of a pen stroke will ensure that all the leaves look distinct from each other, and there's no blurriness or smudging!
Best Line Art Presets to Use
Schematic Preset
The schematic preset gives you a simple black-and-white look. It is perfect for creating a drawing appearance and works well for portraits!
While you will see less hatching and shading in this, the schematic preset renders soft, natural borders. So, you can use this as a reference to practice your sketching skills or take a print for your scrapbook.
Simple Drawing Preset
The simple preset also gives a black-and-white result, but unlike Light, the final result looks like a sketch width a white background made from a paintbrush rather than a pencil. This preset is great for creating a line drawing with mild shading and smudging, as usually happens when using watercolors.
Felt Pen Preset
This one is very straightforward. The Felt Pen preset uses felt pen strokes instead of just penciled lines. This style highlights the borders, giving you a clean lines without much hatching or shading like in the Simple preset!
