Hi redbubble world,
I haven’t been on Redbubble for a while, I’ve been busy on other networks so now I am back on here. Soon, hopefully, god willing I will be making t-shirt designs and more art works to share on redbubble.
ANYWAY. I wanted to share this image I made of myself and partner as a cartoon. I draw us as vector cartoon in Illustrator.
But more importantly is that I made a video time-lapse of how I made this image to show you the process from start to finish. It has nice music too. The idea of making this video came to me when I saw a review on a website called Cartoonme.com and basically that website makes money by converting photos into cartoon images for people who need a cartoon version of themself. I said to myself, people actually pay for this service to draw their photos into cartoon? But then of course people who don’t know how to do it might pay to have someone do it for them. This video serves as an insight into my own process that I go through when I draw myself. So that if a person is thinking about paying to have their photo converted into a cartoon, they’ll have an idea of the work that goes into this.

Tell me what is your experience with trying to draw yourself as a cartoon character image, or have you ever used CartoonMe.com or a similar service?

Awesome!!!
Of course people pay for stuff they can not do themselves ;-)
Will look at the video a bit later this morning, thanx!
