Paint
Stylize source pixels as oil paint, toon bands, watercolor wash, airbrush tone, or ink bleed.
Choose a tool
Choose Oil Painter for brush-shaped regions, Toon for flat tones and outlines, Watercolor for pigment and paper, Airbrush for sprayed soft shading, or Ink Bleed for spreading coverage. Start with a source containing clear shapes.
In this section
Oil Painter
Simplify the image into painterly colour regions that follow its edges and contours.
Toon
Posterize tones and darken detected edges for a cel-shaded illustration look.
Watercolor
Simplify colour into soft stepped washes with pigment bleed and preserved edge structure.
Airbrush
Smooth and posterize surfaces into sprayed gradients for retouching and soft graphic illustration.
Ink Bleed
Let dark source edges feather and soak outward like ink spreading through paper fibres.
