national carousel association on facebook is the best when it comes to quality carousel photos, carver identification, and location updates

but…… it’s facebook 🤨 which is disappointing to recommend to literally anyone lmao

they also have a website but it’s not always up to date 🤔 at least from what i’ve seen

I wanted to make a proper tutorial on this, but it’s too complicated and I don’t know how to explain it in English. So all I have now is this rough record of my drawing process I’m not sure if it helps since not many people use this software at all but here we go. 

Turn your background photo into greyscale.

Tweak the photo's curves to make your darks darker and your light parts lighter, so that the image is made of stark black and white instead of greys. You're essentially increasing the contrast. (This usually looks like making an half-bell curve shape on the graph.)

Add some slight posterization. (Not all art programs have this.) This process flattens gradients into large areas of even tone and makes images look more comic-book-like.

Delete the white area in your image using the magic wand tool, giving you a transparent image.

A bigger nose and a slightly more gaunt look possibly work? Need some feedback
