Here it is, by popular demand. I wasn’t going to make this tutorial at first but there was so much demand I had to. I tried a few different techniques before finding this one which gave me the best results and also happened to be quicker and easier.
In this tutorial I am going to explain my method of vectorizing a photo. The same method could be used for drawing an original image too. I’m going to be using *gasp* Photoshop to do it too. I know you must think I’m crazy but I like the vector tools Photoshop comes with. Yes there are some things that Photoshop simply can’t do that a typical vector program can but for my purposes it works just fine, plus I like the feel of it better. Illustrator annoys me quite a bit so I try to stay away from it if possible.
In this tutorial I’ll be discussion techniques used in advanced photochopping. This is what happens when tones don’t match and textures are involved.
For this tutorial I’ll be combining Jiminiy Click and the Mona Lisa. The colors are different and there is alot of texture in the painting so its not just a simple cut and paste job.
This is going to be a very basic tutorial for beginners to show how to mask an image and blend it. I chose to do George W Bush’s face on a chimp. Don’t ask me why, it was just the first thing I thought to do while trying to come up with something for this tutorial.
If there is something you would like to see a tutorial made for request it here. I’ll choose the ones that I think would benefit people the most.
