But how do you actually do it?

I just gave you two sites with tutorials. In case you didn't get it, here:


Maybe I worded it wrong for ya, but it is simple to make, doesnt take more than 3 to 5 minutes. Heres two good tutorials:

I use Photoshop.


I also have Illustrator though.


I saw those sites and I'm trying it out right now. I've got the outline and the background, but I can't figure out how to make the skull look like the background if you know what I mean.


Like how Superman's S is the same colour as the background, etc.

For the Superman and Punisher, first make a new layer with the color you want the background to be, and have the character as the next layer above it. Before making the outline of the character (which you should have already since you should have PSD cut of the character only) make an outline of the S or the Skull and erase it. Now the erased part will show the background color, since it is basically like a cutout book, you see right through it.

That's how you do it?


How do they get the symbols to look so friggin crisp then if they're selecting them by hand? That Superman symbol must be next to impossible.

It's not mate, use the Magic Wand Tool and hold alt so that you can select more than one point in case it doesnt get the whole "S" the first time. The Magic Tool is kind of hard to describe without pictures, so here is another tutorial on it:

http://www.mediacollege.com/graphics/photoshop/tool/magic-wand.html

Basically what it does is select the areas that are similar, in this case the S shouldn't be that far from each other, unless there are really dark shades in the concave of the chest. You can also change the "consistency" at the top, to either allow it to be more linient on the associating colors.

how do you do the headphones?


because mine are all jagged and chunky. it says on that site you use the pen tool to create a path then set the stroke to -1, but i dunno how to do that.

 

[iambilly81]

yeah, i could tell you used it for your superman entry in the contest. it can give it an interesting look from a pencile drawing or something already printed, yaknow. next time might want to add some tones yaknow.

Illustrator is vector-based whilte Photoshop is raster-based. Illustrator uses mathematical formula to save, while photoshop saves pixels.

Illustrator is good at creating/drawing stuff while Photoshop is good to add effects and edit the pictures.

pritty much how i do it but, the stuff that you want to show the color like the DD on daredevils chest, i use the cut out took to cut threw the total blacked out character. that way i dont have to go back with another layer and add the back ground color.

but other then that i do what he does.
