Cartoon style vector portrait time lapse
September 6th, 2009 by Emmie
The second time lapse I’ve done, featuring Pete from Technicolor Flipbook!
This is to demonstrate how even a small resolution photograph can be used as a basis from which to create a stylised and eye-catching cartoon style vector portrait in Inkscape (though this kind of technique can be easily executed in programmes like Illustrator or Photoshop, as well):
Here’s two detail shots of the mouth and the eyes for you, too. The video is 10 times the speed of the original recording, and to really achieve that comic book feel for a simple but effective background, you can use the same ‘retro dots’ resource from deviantART that I did, by clicking here.
And finally, you can view the finished piece in full by clicking here.

My post-video remarks (pasted from Skype):
[12:03:38] Ben: I think that is the most fucking ridiculous thing I have ever seen
[12:03:54] Ben: and am currently OUTRAGED at God for giving you such amazing artistic skills, and giving my zero
[12:04:05] Ben: you’d have thought he could let us SHARE the fucking skill, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[12:04:33] Ben: now my jaw aches from being stuck open for 6 minutes too

Thankyou so much! But please don’t give up really, I’d feel guilty.
