Tutorial on tracing faces

[jatclat]

Is there a tutorial on tracing copies of photos of faces? I do a blog where I sometimes like to use images of public figures, and adapt them for my purposes. However, I have recently received notice from an agent that I owe a fee for using a professional photo. What would suit me much better would be to start with an image taken from the internet, and use it as a basis for drawing (using Photo or Designer) an adequate lookalike - so that the image I publish no longer contains the photo taken from the internet.

Is there a tutorial like this - and if not, might someone oblige?

The copyright owner may still pursue you for a fee if you create a derivative work. Having said that, take a look at the post below for one way to turn an image into something which doesn’t look like a photo.
