Make Yourself Into A CARTOON!

[Elysium]

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.

that is the coolest thing ive ever seen

[nickrizz]

what program did you use for the upper body??

[Warrior]

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...

Ok here is me leaning against something with my face done, gotta get the lower body done now. Its hard to get the eyes right too! Hain some problems, so i just left them white, will do them later i think.

What do u think?

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...

layers is great, i had a class in college that taught photoshop, its an unbelievable program
