I’ve been having a lot of fun doing photo anime style redraws using selfie photos for reference and Medibang Paint to help me draw anime style illustrations.
I’ve been sharing it online and noticed that others have really been enjoying seeing them too.
I decided to share how I go about turning a photo into an anime style illustration in hopes that this can help you join in on the fun of turning real life into cartoon!
There are four simple steps!
- Find a photo you want to use as reference
- Trace over said photo to get the proportion outline and the specific eye shape. Having this helps the photo to still look similar to the person while still looking like a cartoon, the eye shape is very important to achieve that!
- Next use your transform tool and set it to free transform and stretch or widen the eyes. This part is key because again it’s all in the eyes!
- Final add whatever details you’d like with the hair and clothing and now you’re all done!
