Title: Question for Cartoonists
Post by: Mince on March 13, 2009, 08:20:22 AM

What's the easiest way of turning a photo into a line-art cartoon, other than printing it out, tracing it, scanning it back in and then colouring in with black?

I'd use a Cintiq.

I was thinking more in the way of software.

Do a search for Define-trace. I'm pretty sure it's shareware, but PC only.

I had a program that came free with my first printer (remember the good old days when they loaded you up with free software) - it would do that for you. I think it was called photo house.

Okay - I admit it - I made that up. How many hours did you spend trying to find it on Google?  :D
