Pick Your Picture

This can be any image, you may have to just experiment with different pictures. Some work well, and some don't.

We'll be using a program called GIMP which is similar to Adobe Photoshop and can be downloaded for free here .

Save the File to your computer.

This is a picture of Omar Epps who plays Eric Foreman in House.

Open in GIMP

Open Gimp -> Open -> Choose your file

Duplicate Layer

Layer -> Duplicate Layer

Edit Top Image

Select top Image -> Filters -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur... Select a blur anywhere from 2-7

Select top Image -> Colors-> Colorize... Move Hue slightly to right to get new colored image.

Select top Image -> Colors-> Threshold... Set Threshold so that it kind of looks like Eric's face

Select top Image -> In Layers Box Click arrow next to normal and choose overlay.

Edit Bottom Image

Select bottom Image -> Filters -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur... Put in a number that is from 10-17

Select bottom Image -> Filters -> Artistic -> Cartoon... Adjust till it seems right

Merge Layers

Select top Image -> Layer -> Merge Down

Now there should be only one layer.

You're Finished

You can save this, or print it, or basically whatever you want to do with it.

Have fun!
