people graphics

[terra kengo]

I am probably the rookie of this forum, so please be patient with me. I am beginner level with pscs2.

Anyways, I've been trying unsuccessfully to do graphics of people. I want to create from photos a very simple, 1-color graphic similar to what you would see with a custom shape or dingbat font.

Is there a relatively quick way to do this? Is there anyone out there who is successful with projects like these?

Thanks, Wolly. I've tried threshold, but not in the steps that the tutorial suggested. I walked through the tutorial steps and the end result was a little better but still not what I'm looking to do.

I'll keep trying. thanks.
