I love vector arts and that's why I always wanted to create some. But unfortunately were very few tutorials for vector art. Even now a days you will not find a easy and beginner level tutorial for creating a perfect vector image from original image. But no more worries, cause ultimately I've found the best and easiest method to do that.





Resources:

• Gimp 2.6 or better
• Gimp G'Mic
• Any picture you want to convert in to vector. I'm using THIS image in this tutorial.

Ok so let's get started--

Step 1: Load your image in Gimp.



Step 2: Now open Filters>>G'Mic.



Step 3: Now in the G'Mic window open Enhancement>>Bilateral Filtering, And apply with default setting.



Result of this step is as below:



That's smooth right, But we want vector apply the Bilateral Filter again.


ok apply once more (application of the filter depend upon the result. If you get desired result earlier than you can go to next step.)



So out image is now turned into vector illustration. Now what...Let's add the finalizing effect.

Step 4: Open Fx-Foundry>>Photo>>Effects>>Cross Processing Effect. Check the flatten image box and apply.



And the Final result after this effect is as given below:


Who says vector is hard work??? Enjoy...
