The Sketch Designer is the best thing since sliced bread. Rule #1: Always render large images. If you render a small image you will lose the details. If the examples above had been rendered at 5-10 times the size, they would have shown a tremendous amount of detail. When using the default scratchboard on a small sized image it can yield a less than perfect result. The same image rendered at a larger size (5-10 times larger) can yield a classic illustration. Rule #2: Always render large images! Rule #3: Always render large images!!!! If you are planning on doing still images, combining multiple renders in photoshop can yield spectacular results. Try combining different techniques such as sketch-pastel or scratchboard pastel. P.S. Experiment. Render an image using the sketch designer at 300x400 then at 1200 x 1600. You will be amazed. Will
