Because time flies when you start messing around with images, that's why! I think I've been at this for the past five hours or so. See, I hadn't really touched my digicam since I got back from that last trip to NYC about a month ago, and I've been wanting to try to create line art out of photographs for a while (partly so I can do things like that stupid blue people show on Adult Swim), so when I finally got around to uploading those photos to the PC yesterday I decided to have a go of it. Of course, the vast majority of the tutorials on the web focus on Photoshop (which I don't have), so I had to kind of come up with my own bootleg method derived from the techniques mentioned there but utilizing the different tools that my program has to offer. Wheee.
Fun! Anyway, I'm gonna sleep now, but you can check out my various trials (all on the same image, the original of which I conveniently do not supply for comparison -- but if you really must see it, Becky and Sarah posted the original (well, the original as recorded by their cameras -- same pose) a while back. Because they are in the picture! As are Lori and Joel. Some of these pics are colored! Some are not. And there are lots of them! Hence the cut. (more...)
