Cartoon creation experiment for poster and digipak

Step 1

To begin, I placed my image into photoshop

Step 2 Then I began to outline

his main features- His eyes, nose, mouth,

eyebrows, hair, neck etc,

I made sure I did this on a separate layer and made sure to fill the eyebrows in

I outline the features then right clicked and selected stroke path.

Step 3 Then on another new

layer I added in the colours for his hair and for his face.

Step 4 and 5 Then I added two

more layers one on which I added lip colour and on the other I added eye colour.

Final step Then I removed the

image of Josh Hutcherson which was underneath and was left with this cartoon of him.

Conclusion Making this cartoon has given me an idea on

the different styles of cartoons we could use, this cartoon is however more suitable to the pop genre and we are considering using a different style, none the less it was good and helpful to experiment with different styles so we can achieve the best design on our poster and digipak that will be suited to our genre indie/folk/
