Well as i was screwing around on photoshop last night with blurs and shit, i discovered a very simple time saving way to make a vector image. Normal vector images take about 400-500 layers and paths and about 1-2 hrs to make. This tutorial will show you how to make a vector image with only 2 layers and withing 2 seconds. Enjoy.
First, choose your image. I chose this image, (wrestling superstar & hardcore legend mankind)
Open the image in photoshop and click control + j to copy the layer.
Make sure the duplicated layer is selected and click on Filer > Blur > Smart Blur and be sure to use the settings in the screen shot below.
Click ok to apply the smart blur. As you can see, the image is a bit distorted and a little bit too vectored.
That will be no problem! Just change the opacity on the blurred image somewhere between either 48%-68% and boom, you have yourself a simple vector image.
