I'm trying to wrap my head around the best way of doing this, I'd like to turn a few pictures of my dog into something that looks like this:
I've tried playing around with the live trace and images come close to it but they don't seem to have the same edge (this is not my dog just an example I was practicing on):
I was wondering if their was a series of filters you could apply first to get a better edge to it or if their were any other methods to getting a rough shape? If I can get it almost their I can tweak a few lines and change a few colours with the pen tool
Is their a way to turn the image into a series or lines first as that would probably work if I layed it underneath on a serperate layer and deleted parts I didn't want. The High pass mode is the closest I can get to turning it into a series of lines in cs2.
it's usually quite simple to do with cars or bikes - objects that have hard edges - but this is a little difficult i'm finding.
Here's a picture of my actual dog, I found it easier practicing this effect on other dogs that were less fluffy and curly as it was just showing up too much detail:
