[Effect Example] Create a poem with pencil-drawing style illustrations

AKVIS Draw expands your creative possibilities.
Even if you don't have any drawing skills, this software allows you to create sketches that look like they were drawn by hand.
Artists and poets make quick sketches in the margins of their albums and diaries.
You'll need to use a photo editor to put the pictures together into a collage, or you can just paste the pictures directly onto the website.

Using the poem "Stanzas to Augusta" (by Lord Byron), I will show you how to make artistic sketches of the things in the poem.

In the desert a fountain is springing,
In the wide waste thee still is a tree,
And a bird in the solitude singing,
Which speaks to my spirit of thee.

In this example, I used an image editing software to combine the pictures.

In a 32-bit environment it is located in [Program Files], in a 64-bit environment it is located in [program files (x86)] and under it there are folders for each product.
