So.. This is my second try at painting and cartooning by using the smudge tool to realize some awesome effects. I've not gotten as good as I wan to get on it but I'm on the way there.. All it takes is practice from me.
I sourced the picture I'm cartooning from Google and it was an open source so I felt to add a little bit of my effects to it
I started by editing the sharpness of the picture on Snapseed but the picture was not so quality so I had to make do with the sharpness I got.. I made a filled a new layer with brown to match the face and tweaked the opacity to add to the colour depth of the picture.
I then moved to a new layer and focused on the hair. I dulled out the actual colour of the hair and added a purple shade to it on a newer layer, I I achieved a purple flow. I then added the strokes necessary on a newer layer and edited it into the glow preset.
Since the hair is a bright shade of purple, I made the lips a darker shade of purple.
Then I decided to add highlights to the face where the sun was hitting and made it glow also. It gave me the anime kind of feel I wanted.... I think I'm falling in love with the glow preset
I then dewlled on the eyes and made the inner part of the pupil purple. Using my smudge tool here and a little bit of glow. It popped out even better.
I then did the finishing touches, added my new logo and cropped.
Here's the final result
Nice piece of art and whenever you source for pictures from any source. You should clearly state the source under the photo. It's very important.
WOW!!! That is the most amazing picture I have ever seen in my life! It looks so amazing thank you for posting that. The time you have spent was worth it!
