Prompt

Transform this image into a Scribble Control sketch, using sparse, rough black strokes on a clean white background to indicate major silhouettes, gestures, and a few essential interior features. Make lines uneven and loosely hand-drawn, omitting shading, color, grain, and fine detail. Keep the original subject and composition.

Identify

A few rough lines determine the image composition1.

Principle

Sketch conditioning2 reduces the input to simplified lines.

Try it out

Can the design be read with ten lines?

Classification

Calculated image processing result.

Scribble Control, applied to “Moscow 05-2012 Tsaritsyno 10”
02 Scribble Control, applied to “Moscow 05-2012 Tsaritsyno 10”The bridge and palace architecture are reduced to essential geometric outlines against a white background. This sketch conditioning allows the landmark composition to be read through a few simplified, rough lines.A.Savin (photo); processed for the Atlas · CC BY-SA 3.0 · Wikimedia Commons

03 Scribble Control, applied to “Hochries, Alpes del Chiemgau, Alemania, 2024-10-19, DD 28-30 HDR”The summit cross and mountain ridge are defined by a few continuous, jagged strokes. The processing successfully reduces the landscape to a minimalist, legible graphic representation using very few lines.Diego Delso (photo); processed for the Atlas · CC BY-SA 4.0 · Wikimedia Commons
