When I first used this iPhone app Toon Camera I realized it was made with intentions not only for special effects but for artists to use in a way that you wouldn't expect. Toon camera has a live view displaying the image in either black and white sketch, or color cartoon sketch. Both these views have superb quality finish and will be enjoyed by professionals or everyday users. So how do we use this as an artist ? You should take a picture in black and white sketch of the desired subject you would like to render. Doing this is a lazy way but super efficient and can still have the effect on the finished product. You then take your black and white picture and render it in autodesk SketchBook app. Using these two apps will give you the perfect render that looks professional. This app can further be used for the everyday user that would like a picture fully rendered with just a click, this image will look like a cartoon render, hence ToonCamera. The below image shows a color render using ToonCamera for iPhone

These settings include adjusting your stroke thickness making it darker or lighter. In both modes using a softer pen will give you a better finish.
Final impressions: iPhone app ToonCamera is not the only camera app that can produce this effect, there are alternatives in the app store but I find this app superior. This app will award you with perfect shots to email to clients, post to facebook and twitter, mms a friend or simply post to you blogs like I have. I rate this app 4/5
