Graphic Novel Without the Novel

Have you ever wanted to see what you’d look like as the protagonist of a graphic novel? Well, now you can! Influenced by classic graphic novels and modern films, with BeFunky’s Graphic Novel DLX effect, you can easily create a graphic novel inspired photo.

Inkify Without the Ink

Use our Inkify effects to create bold, impactful ink sketches without the need for any fancy inking tools or paper. With varying styles and degrees of color, you can create an original work of art. And similarly, our Ink Wash effects create an effortless, fluid ink sketch. Either way, it’s a simple, one-step process.

Cross Hatch Without the Hatching

“I really enjoy meticulously and painstakingly drawing little lines,” said no one ever. Although cross-hatching is a great technique to create shadows and definition in your sketches, it can be very tedious. Thankfully, our Cross Hatch DLX effect can achieve the same result in just seconds.
