Inkscape and Gimp: Tracing a Cartoon Figure
This isn't really an Earth-shattering technique, but I've lucked out with it enough times to warrant a tutorial. It actually fits with the popular art-school methods for drawing a figure on paper, especially for drawing superhero-type figures.
1. Pull an interesting human figure off of a search. Here, I chose this muscle man. Import the image into Inkscape. Enlarge as necessary.
2. Make an oval using the circle tool. Your oval should have a partially transparent fill color and a solid border color of about one pixel. Place it over the face, sizing and rotating it to the closest fit.
