I don't understand what you did (that's OK), but like the results. Clean. Crisp. Looks like a fun drawing!

Thanks Anita! The photo was of a pillow that just had simple line drawings on it. My artist friend had colored in parts of it. I used an app on my iPad called Etchings and I chose a black and white that was inverted so the white background became black. What etchings does is add a grid-like cross hatching effect based on the image. I used the same effect on the last image I posted of a palm frond.

Thanks for the explanation. I understand it better now. Very successful. Amazing what one can do with iPhones!

Judy, I love the graphic look of this one. I especially like the composition with the horizontals on the top. And thanks for the website - I've never heard of Zentangles

Thanks Cheryl! This was the first image I tried Etchings on and I was pretty amazed with the transformation. You should try Zentangle, they say it's very relaxing. All you need is some art paper and a fairly fine Sharpie pen! Then go on Amazon and do the "look inside" some of the Zentangle books. I did because a friend wanted to buy one while visiting and we looked at a bunch of them. The real artists are very good at it. One of my artist friends did white Christmas balls with Zentangle patterns, so cool!!

That's very cool, different, and interesting! I never heard of that either, but I'm going to check it out.
