"F/X CHARCOAL DRAWING"
FUNCTION

IMAGE MAGICK URLS HERE:





THE FORMULA CAN HAVE VERY FEW VARIABLES WHICH MAKES IT EASY .
YET , IF YOU CHOOSE TO CREATE YOUR OWN VARIANCES, IT CAN BE INTRIGUING.


TAKE GRAPHIC TO IMAGE MAGICK

F/X CHARCOAL
USE LOWER NUMBER FOR DARKER GRAPHICS, HIGHER NUMBERS FOR LIGHTER GRAPHICS
RANGE IS 3x3 - 31X31.
ODD NUMBERS ONLY

COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCE,

ENHANCE/HUE= "?%"
(THIS PERCENTAGE SHOULD BE ANYWHERE FROM 100 - 400.)

COMPOSITE/ ?
(WHATEVER YOU WANT.
IE. PLUS, MULTIPLY, BUMPMAP, LUMINIZE,SOMETIMES DIFFERENCE TWICE WORKS WELL IF YOU TRY USING ENHANCE/NEGATE AFTER THE FIRST COMPOSITE DIFFERENCE AND HUE)

YOUR IMAGE, AT THIS POINT, CAN BE DARK BECAUSE OF MOST COMPOSITES USED.
IF SO,ENHANCE/BRIGHT 100+

ENHANCE/SATURATE
(SUGGESTED NUMBERS FROM 100 - 200)

FINE TUNE HOWEVER YOU WISH
USE FRAMES,DECORATE,DRAW,ANNOTATE


Below are some examples that I have done.
Look at the steps and these should give you an idea of how to use "F/X CHARCOAL"


EXAMPLE 1-

ORIGINAL:



F/X 3x3 CHARCOAL DRAWING,
COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCE,
HUE=170%,
COMPOSITE/MULTIPLY
ENHANCE/SAT=300,
ENHANCE/BRIGHT=150,
ENHANCE/SATURATE=200,
ENHANCE/GAMMA=1.2,
ENHANCE/DULLX2,
DECORATE 5X5+2+2 WHITE FRAMEX2,
ANNOTATE OUTPUT@25,

"FLY AWAY"



***EXAMPLE 2-

ORIGINAL:



F/X CHARCOAL DRAWING=31X31,
COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCE,
ENHANCE HUE=200%,
COMPOSITE/MULTIPLY,
ENHANCE/BRIGHT=160,
ENHANCE/GAMMA=1.1,
ENHANCE SAT=130,
EFFECTS SHARPEN=5X5,
DECORATE 5X5+2+2 DARKBLUE FRAME,
ANNOTATE, OUTPUT @ 25,

"CRAYOLA CASTLE EXPLOSION"



*****EXAMPLE 3

ORIGINAL:



F/X CHARCOAL 25X25,
COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCE,
ENHANCE/HUE=350%,
COMPOSITE/MULTIPLY,
ENHANCE/NORMALIZE,
ENHANCE/BRIGHT=220,
ENHANCE/SATURATE=140,
ENHANCE/BRIGHT=140,
ANNOTATE OUTPUT @25,

"MING DYNASTY"

AND THAT'S CHARCOAL !!!


The "skeleton formula" for F/X CHARCOAL was provided in our Ng by Blossom.
THANK YOU BLOSSOM!!!
This page is a result of my VARIATIONS on the formula and what I found through "trial & error".
