The computer applications available today can make an expert artist out of a layman. The existing system is a photo to sketch generator application which utilizes sketch generation algorithms found in the field of image processing. However, these applications are not friendly in terms of user interaction. Hence, despite these applications being available online on a large scale, these have not been a much of a rage among the net-savvy people and also have not caught the fancy of the industry despite offering a tremendous potential. Thus, we propose to create a system which can overcome current drawbacks by making the application more user friendly. In addition to this, we propose to implement lip-sync features to the generated sketch and make the system more engrossing.In nut shell, our system will convert digital photos to sketch and make it talk by providing lip sync features to it
