Photoshop Help

[compbuilder00]

A client I am building a website for is wondering if I can turn a real world image of a truck into a cartoon version. I am pretty good in photoshop but I have no clue on how to do this.

Honestly, if you're looking for a photoshop "trick" or function, there's not really a quick way to do this. You could try experimenting with the artistic filters and see if you get a result that is close to what you're looking for.

The better way to do it is to take your real world photo and "trace" over it, to create the effect your going after. Personally, I would use it as a template in Illustrator and create the cartoon version from scratch using the photo as a guide.

Good luck.

There are some pretty sweet filters in PS that you might be able to combine to achieve this effect...such as colored pencil.

But...

I think this would be the way to go, especially if you are fairly proficient with Illustrator.
