a vector "drawing" from two photos

**iamtheblues** · 19 February 2012, 02:10 PM

Just the sort of doodle for a Sunday afternoon. I imported 2 photos of a football crowd and a football player and using the photo tool, I blurred the crowd quite severely. I then made a bitmap trace of this and deleted the original. Next I imported a photo of a footballer in action, hand traced and cut out the background, then gave it a light contone for a monochrome result and bitmap traced this too. I made the footballer larger than the background and basically ended up with an interesting composition of an out-of-bounds action figure with depth of field...all vector. Just don't ask me why.

nice composition bob but one problem, none of the spectators are watching the ball

I think there was an off-the-ball incident going on at the time!
Thanks for the comments, guys.

There's an even bigger problem, Frank.
Neither is the player.

I thought you were supposed to keep your eye on the ball?!

Of course as everyone knows, a good footballer would watch where he is going to pass or shoot to and doesn't need to actually look directly at the ball. Nothing afoot (pardon the intentional pun) here Rik.....
