Turn Yourself Into a Cartoon

You can turn yourself into a cartoon in just a few simple steps. If you cannot draw not to worry, with Illustrator you can use the auto trace tool and it will capture the necessary lines for you. You can also use Photoshop if you don't have Illustrator.

Step 1 Get An Image of Yourself

Find an image of yourself (or someone else) that is at least 300 dpi. The smaller the image the harder it will be to outline or auto trace it.

I've just been on www.EricTheCircle.com and seeing as he's a circle, that's a cartoon - I was wondering if there was a process for turning him back into a photo?

[aseath]

[Misyel]

[codongolev]

when I walk down the street people drop safes on me.

I think there's a tutorial to turn yourself into a human being somewhere. ;-)

[codongolev]

I don't get why someone would want to be a cartoon. it's hard for us to live, being two dimensional. when we go out to eat, we have to make sure we're facing the waiter, or it looks like our table's empty. we blow away when we go on walks, ending up miles from where we began. eating's hard, because you've got to find specific "cartoon food" stores that sell 2d food. it's difficult.

Well, Stereoscopic 3D video to the rescue!

[codongolev]

but then there's two of me if I don't cross my eyes....

[AlternateLives]

Not if you wear the glasses!

[codongolev]

NOW I HAVE A HEADACHE!!!! WHY AM I DOOMED TO CARTOONDOM?

[AlternateLives]

They're working on it. soon that won't be an issue.

However, that doesn't happen if you shoot 3D video right.

[Munchys]

Don't worry! I am currently working on a machine to make 2d cartoons into humans!

[lbrewer42]

From what I understand, many politicians have already used this tutorial successfully.

[juanvi]

if so, for the good of all of us, please, don't try tracing you again, please don't

[uhsnamih]

well then try to make a human version of urself

[EnigmaMax]

then you'll be a cartoon to a cartoon. duh.

[codongolev]

brain hurt.

I know this is a dumb question, but how do I find the auto trace tool? When I search 'trace' in Illustrator's Help, all it shows is Live Trace preferences but I don't understand how to actually use it!
