Make Yourself Into A CARTOON!

**Elysium** · 07-15-2004, 10:56 AM

Hey guys, was playing around with some images, got bored.

Im thinking of making myself into a cartoon, the whole body, including face etc, should look quite cool!

Anyone know how to do this properly?

I managed to do my upper body.

i know some guys who use flash to make that vectorized art.

i couldn't tell you how it is done though.

what program did you use for the upper body??

I have done it with Adobe Illustrator before - like daem said, in vector format. You can also import the vector into bitmap for Photoshop and airbrush it for a final touch... looks kewl...

Not too bad - do you know how to use layers? Make a new layer and put the setting on either "Multiply" or "Color" and you can get some more shading effects.

You can also make a new layer and use a filter is add texture... then go to EDIT - FADE EFFECTS...

Kinda new to the photoshop game. Only got hold of the program a week or so ago, just been playing around with it!

Well... break out the layers pallet - you'll need to be familiar with it to really get Photoshop to do what you want...

I knew a guy once that could make some awesome sh!t in Illustrator... he grew up tagging buildings and then found a more constructive way to use his talents... you gave him a name and in about 10 minutes he would build an awesome graphic in Adobe Illustrator... it works off vector points instead of bitmap like Photoshop...
