It's a great tutotial, but here's the thing... this is what I find in most tutorials here on YouTube. The background is always easy to work with. For most of us, we're going to be working with pictures that have ugly backgrounds. So I guess the first step before you can do this tutorial would be to do some work in Photoshop first. Mask the photo with a black background. Masking is tough. I've yet to find a real solid solution to horrid backgrounds.
@ShelterDogs Ah, yes, getting rid of horrid backgrounds is always something that can take time. You can be lucky if your background is of a similar tone then you may be able to select it with the Magic Wand and by playing around with the tolerance. If you can't do that you'll have to trace round it using the Path tool.
The choice of image to turn into an illustration is quite important. Thanks, buddy! :)
