Where photo cartoonization takes place

Cartoonization Process Overview
Turning Photograph into Cartoon

A lot of people asked us how do we turn real photos into cartoon pictures, what software / program should be used, what tools we are using. A lot of requests asked us for a tutorial on creating a cartoon photo with amazing likeness to the real person.

Alas, we're still unable to write a tutorial on it at the moment. We're so sorry. But we promise you to write it as soon as we have the time.

For the moment, let's just take a quick look on the step-by-step cartoonization process. More details will be explained in the coming tutorial.

Step by step cartoonization process:   Step 1: Open the photograph to be cartoonized with your photo editing program (you can use gimp or photoshop, or any other photo editing programs).     Step 2: Isolate the object. Clear out all the unwanted parts of the photograph.     Step 3: Create the outline of the picture.     Step 4: Add color to each part of the picture. For this example, our first part to be colorized is the skin... next, the vest... and then the shirt... neck tie... hat... hair... the eyes... and lips.     Step 5: Now that we've done coloring the picture, let's apply some shading to give depth to the picture.     Step 6: Last step. Add a background.     That's it! Now we have the cartoonized version of our photograph.
