Making Cartoons

I generally don't design anything since I am not a designer but thought of making a one of my friends cartoon "avtar" to put it on her scrap book. This idea clicked when one of my friend(Kevin Pinto) had done our cartoons for our web technology's project. The one on the right is his creation.

I started with hunting her photograph. Later used photoshop and opened the picture there. By adding transparent layer I traced the outline using a pencil tool. It did look shabby since it was just mouse that I used. But then had no choice. Later on of my friend gave me an idea of using bezier curves. But he used another tool for making such dough I was making it in photoshop. So later I googled for cartoons to see 1000 different creation. Later I started using simple line tool and then giving it different thickness and curves. I eliminated black colour border line and started using the those tones of the actual fill colours as the outer line. It worked the pieace was looking much neater and cool. I wasn't sure about the face looks since I still have to work on it. But the rest is fine I suppose. It was a real good experince in doing this.
