Cellshading

Make Vector-cellshading your everyday business with this tutorial!

• Step 1 Open up a picture you want to cell-shade/vectorise;

  

• Step 2 First select all the parts that have the similar color;

  Note:I USED THE COLOR BLACK FIRST.

  

• Step 3 You must use the Polygonal Lasso-Tool for this all;

  Note:I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST TO USE THIS TOOL, BECAUSE IT GIVES A MUCH BETTER RESULT.
  I USE THE PEN-TOOL A LOT, BUT IN THIS CELLSHADING-CASE, IT'S BETTER TO GET POLYGONAL SHAPES THEN TO GET CURVED SHAPES!

  

• Step 4 When you select one color, make a new layer and just fill it with that color;

  Note:IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHICH COLOR-CODE IS THE COLOR YOU WANT, JUST GET OUT THE EYEDROPPER AND CLICK IT ON THE COLOR YOU WANT TO CELLSHADE.

  

• Step 5 When you're done, you should have A LOT of layers with all different colors;

  

• Step 6 It is a lot of work, but it pays off...
  REMEMBER: You don't need to use EVERY COLOR, just the basic, the shadow and the shining-part!!!
