Contest 154: Cartoon faces

I thought Steve Hill's entry to last week's Friday Challenge raised an interesting question: how do we turn a photograph into a cartoon? His approach went a long way towards a solution, but I'm not sure it quite got there. I suspect that the only way of doing it might be to redraw the features on a new layer.

So that's your challenge for this week: take any well-known face, and turn it into a drawn cartoon. Could be as faithful to the original as you like, or you could go the Simpsons route, complete with yellow skin and overbite... this one's entirely up to you. I think this is a technique we all need to master.

Do be sure to include the original face in your post!

It has been a very long time since I contributed anything. I just couldn't resist this one.

This is just a quick four step method.

OK, would have probably been better if I had attached something....

Told you it had been a long time since I posted anything.

Re: Contest 154: Cartoon faces

guess I will have to send the BEFORE separately. As for the well known face, these faces are well known at our place.

Hi Abby-Helen,

Welcome to the forum.

To attach an image, firstly make sure its 102KB or less.

Then on the left hand side of this box (just above the smilies) you will notice the word ATTACHMENT..click on that and a browse box will appear and just attach your image. Press send and hopefully it should be posted.
