cartoon drawing

is there an online photo editor where i can make a pic look like a cartoon drawing? maybe something photoshop or picnik-like ! I am not aware of any website that has an editor that will do it automatically. If you have access to PhotoShop though, download the program on this page that does it for you automatically from any picture you choose, including adding chat bubbles.... http://lifehacker.com/software//how-to-turn-a-photo-into-a-cartoon-101427.php If you have an iphone, that same page also has a link to a trial program that will take any image in an Iphone and convert it to a cartoon, including chat bubbles, as well.

Cartoon Caricature Shaded Using Free Cartoon Drawing Software Pixia

As an artist, illustrator and cartoonist based in the UK, I am continually seeking to update my range of styles, be innovative and learn new drawing skills. With the introduction of digital art and the way it has taken the art world by storm (on the Internet at least) I am looking at ways I can enhance my hand-drawn traditional art images using drawing and cartooning software.

I've recently purchased a Wacom digital tablet to help draw digitally via the computer but I am reluctant to spend a lot of money on expensive corel art or photoshop drawing software. I have been looking at the drawing software that is available on the Internet for FREE. In doing so I came across Pixia cartoon and drawing software. Pixia is huge in Japan and now they have an English version.

I downloaded the Pixia software for FREE (it took just a few seconds to download) and started using it right away to shade a hand-drawn cartoon caricature of my own children. You can view the results below.

I drew this cartoon caricature by hand using a black gel pen and then shaded it using the FREE Pixia drawing software. The process was fairly simple.

I selected the icon that showed I wished to fill gaps with colour. I then selected the colour, selected the gap (by moving my mouse into the gap area and right clicking) then I went  to the paint-pot icon. The gap was then filled with the chosen colour. As well as colours Pixia has a variety of textures and allows multiple layered shading.

Below is a funky shading effect I created using the same Pixia drawing software.

This picture had already been shaded with felt-tips by hand. I wanted to see how I could use the hand-shaded and digitally shaded elements together. This is the result. A funky, modern and fairly unique cartoon caricature.

To get your Free Pixia drawing software simply visit the Pixia website.
