So my best friend is having a birthday party but I am finding it difficult to buy a card for her.

So I decided to make my own and get a picture of her and turn it into anime/japanese cartoon style (because we LOVE anime)

The problem is I don't know how to do it. I have read some online tutors but because I always get confused with the instructions especially long ones without slow demonstration it's hard for me to do the right thing. (I tried several times but the photo always ends up as a black blob with lots of lines everywhere)

I'd appreciate it if someone could do it for me (I'll give you my email and her picture if you write down below you can help and do it for me that would be AWESOME!) or if you have any software or advice please comment below! I''ll rate all answers that are helpful!

Thanks LOTS!:D

What program are you using to convert your photo?Didi

There's no real good program for turning a photo into manga/anime, but you could try searching for a character who looks like her. Otherwise, if you only need a better program to draw her in, download GIMP 2, it's free.

Go to this link and follow the directions carefully in order to come up with an animation version of that personhttp://www.photoshoproadmap.com/Photoshop-blog/2007/07/04/photo-to-illustration-effect/

It won't look japanese but it's as close as you're going to get to an animation

I also have tried everything and cannot get a photo to look like anime but I cyan draw anime so if u want I can draw u as an anime character all I need for u 2 do is send me a pic at [email protected] and I will draw it as anime and send it back to you =)

Hi, I was wondering if you would do this for me! I don't mind how long it takes I would just love this

No, I would not be happy I were imortal, because all of my friends and family would die around me. I would never age, so I would never get to grow up and live happily with them. In shorter words, everyone I love would die before me
