Create cartoon avatar from headshot photo

Thanks Egg - and BTW, well done for the helpful tutorials, including the solid British accent...

Thanks Wiz - I spent an hour or so last night having a bash at doing the entire thing myself in Xara. It looks like it could take me another five or six hours to complete, so may be spread out over some elapsed time...

Thanks Angelize - he also has a great little avatar on his tutorials page.

Hi Geoff,

You could try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfW1z...DB55AB&index=1
It's for illustrator, but you could apply the same principles to Xara. The Julian Opie style is ideal for vector graphics avatars and quite easy to do.

Of course depending the needs but if the time is factor, the bitmap tracer creates an avatar in two minutes
