line drawing

[AHarvey]

Hi all,

There was a thread on here a while back that I have tried searching for but can't find. Someone had taken a picture of their other half and turned it into a cool comic book style picture in photoshop.

Anyone remember what the thread was called or what technique was used? I know you used a tool to trace the lines of the picture but that is it, plus I am trying to do it in gimp and the few comic style tutorials I have found for that are quite bad!

EDIT: Oh, and has anyone got any advice on a decent but not overly expensive graphics tablet that would be ideal for a noob?

There are some tutorials on this page. Line art and then colouring line art.

For a tablet just get the cheapest wacom you can afford.

There are some good comic book style tutorials here but you need to pay for them.
