thing is, everyone is Rotoscoping in Adobe Photoshop (btw, this technique of photo editing is called
Rotoscoping) and thanks to Josh Matic and some of my other artsy friends, i tried my hand on it too ^_^ but i've been doing this similar technique years before already, only i was using another program. i tried checking all the tutorials and HowTo's on rotoscoping in the net, everyone is using Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. I tried something else ^_^There's a tool for Corel X3 called
Corel Trace (which is a separate program) as well as
Corel Draw X3 where you could get all your layers done in like 5 minutes, edge smoothing, cleaning up and all. then i used
Corel Photopaint X3 for the manually drawn lines and some final touches^_^ so like, maybe everything to the finishing touch was done in less than 30mins. im not satisfied with the quality though, of course its not as good as the manually Photoshopped version that takes over 3 hours to do ^_^ if u wanna see what the good stuff is like, check
JOSH's Page.
That's Jewel (hi Jewel, sorry ginamit ko portrait mo ^_^ astig kc e). i used 2 different layer techniques on these two portraits. i like the one on the right though, it looks more like a vector portrait ^_^
