KenA Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Hi, I'm trying to create a logo, and have an image that I would like to convert into a line drawing. I would essentially like to use the attached colour image to create something similar to the second image that I've attached. I've tried a variety of tools, but with no real success. Not being able to preview the application of effects is also making it quite a slow process. Can anyone recommend how I might go about it please?

Zagna Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Inkscape is a good tool and with the right setting it can produce something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRON67 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) You could use Threshold and/or EarthsnGreys to do the most things and later add additional layers to draw some lines for finetuning. Or you use EarthsnGreys only and seperate every Grey-Value in a single layer, add an dark outline and recombine it.

IRON67 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Here's another try with less shades of gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I would just draw it. There are very few details so it should not take you long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynxster4 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Here's two more options. The Basic Edge Detect plugin, under Stylize: Edge Detection plugin by Argus, under Stylize: You can erase what you don't want. Both can be found in the Plugin section.

I meant to draw it using the tools inside Paint.Net The LOCHABER logo is very simple, there are no details, there are just four or five strokes and it is monochrome. On the other hand, the image to be converted into a logo has lots of details but very low contrast(because of the lightning conditions) and no matter what software it is used there will be lost detail. This one has some greys : This one is black and white and many things are no longer recognizable. That is why I think that drawing should be considered. That is to draw some lines that will represent the mountains, a few trees and the little kiosko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again: freehand drawing (with mouse or tablet) in PDN may problematic for someone. You still need good skills and finecontrol over your hands.

IRON67 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 33 minutes ago, IRON67 said: Better? Yes! It is much better and as I see you drew the mountains and the details. I think KenA needs to decide what is important for the logo. Does it need to have the trees, the kiosko, the lake or the houses on the background?

Pixey Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I think, if you simply want the outline - like in the sample logo, perhaps using the line/curve tool will be sufficient with some AA's Assistant?
