Cartoon/Graphic Image

[Cyber Cat]

awsome job!!! i wish too just keep it simple but unfortunatly just cant stop

[creeduk]

Thanks once I found this method I have had a ton of fun. I photoshop people at work a lot to keep moral up (entertain the guys/gals) but once I put them in Flash I was able to animate and have some real fun..lol

[Cyber Cat]

niceeee. maybe one day when you have time you could post it here

[T Paul]

Swampy,
Nice results with CS2’s Live Trace feature. I like how you posted examples of Live Trace vs. straight posterization. I agree that the fur looks more realistic using Live Trace. Also…what a cute puppy!


Creeduk,
Flash is actually a quite powerful drawing program. I’m sure your work cartoons are quite the hit, especially once you animate them!

I'd completely forgotten this very fun thread. A bunch of us were goofing around with lighting. This one begged to be cartooned. The subject thought it was a hoot; and we all got a good laugh.

Now you may laugh too.

i'd forgotten this thread also. never had time to do it before either. decided to give it a shot. however, all those photoshop instructions were chinese to me, being a psp user, so i had to find another tutorial on the web. probably a bit longer to do it this way, but seemed to work

btw, janet, love yours!

I hope it's okay to show one done the lazy way. This was done with Xero filters. I'm not sure what to say it is. Maybe a graphic more than a cartoon.
I just like it. Looks kind of nostalgic to me.

Nice thread!

I used one of photoshop mama's chores and added a lineart layer of my own.

Original from StockXchange -- free use.

A quick one from me.
Cutout Filter, Halftone pattern Levels to give colours the comic look.
There was more but can't remember all of the steps.

I've always wanted to try this sort of thing, but was intimidated by my less than refined Illustrator/pen tool skills. Recently though, I've gotten much better at both, so when I saw this thread I ate it up!

This is my first attempt at vector art, so not my best...I need to work on skin tones/blending, but I am pleased with most of the rest.

I would like some feedback please, as I plan to continue practicing this skill.

[mellyrose]

Tried another. Getting better

(took forever!!!)

Attached is also a screenshot of the paths from Illustrator, and my layers.

Wanted to try this too. The original image is from a trip to the African Lion Safari in Canada. The giraffe was "holding up traffic".

Didn't spend too much time on this, adjusted original's color balance, cropped, posterized, cutout, added noise. Should have done more, but need to run.

In Photoshop:

Snap Art Comic filter;
Select and delete background;
New layer, fill with color, Comic filter again;
Touch-up image with Clone tool.

[Kraellin]

excellent, photomaster. love the texturing there.

You are all doing a great job, I've got to give this a shot it looks like fun.

[Janet Petty]

Graphics23, your pirate is very well done. I agree with TPaul. Go for the storybook.

[Graphics23]

Thank you, T Paul & Janet!

My wife keeps urging me to write an illustrated pirate book.

That's me in the original digital capture, so I could do all my own reference shots!

If only I had my own ship...

Very nicely done!

I especially like the shading in the face and ear.

The work on the hair is well done, too!
