Photoshop: Crutch or powertool
Skip to commentsEditorial cartoonist Matt Bors has written a 5 minute tutorial to create an iconic caricature of the Ayatollah Khomeini by John Sherffius.
I wanted to see how fast I could replicate this master so I hit up Google image search and grabbed the first result. Then I opened it in Photoshop and applied the Threshold adjustment. Putting the levels at 128 seemed right. Next, I made his eyes appear like they were looking forward and extended his villainous black cloak a bit.
I added Elvis in the weird jail beard because those crazy Iranians hate that hip-shaking troublemaker and all the swooning the ladies do over him.
5 exhausting minutes later I was all done.
Check his blog for the full “recipe.”
Matt, you’re not helping dispel the theory that you’re the Bad Cartoonist with stuff like this. Interesting discussion however and the power (or crutch) that is Photoshop.
