While Firefly doesn’t have a “photo to sketch” feature, you can achieve this effect by using the Reference Image function within the Text to Image module. Upload the image you wish to turn into a drawing, adjust your settings, and try a simple prompt such as “turn reference image into a sketch”. Refine your prompt and settings until you get a result you like.
You can generate many styles of drawings with Text to Image. You can include detailed descriptions of art styles within your prompt, and you can save time using options from the Effects section. Choose from art movements like Art Deco and Impressionism, from themes like Concept Art and Comic Book, and many more.
