I'm a huge fan of PP and the great tutorials. But I'd love one that shows how to take a headshot and make it look like it was painted or appear like a cartoon drawing. That's useful for many things, including designing an icon for Zoom meetings (when camera is off).

I know you have "Turn a real-life drawing into a digital illustration" but that's not the same thing.

I've seen tutorials for Photoshop that teach this.

Thanks for considering!

Hey Danny! At the moment, Pixelmator Pro doesn't actually feature the effects that could be used to create a cartoon or oil painting look quickly, so I'm not really sure how likely it is that you'll see a tutorial about this any time soon. Though we'd definitely love to add more support for these kinds of workflows in the future!

Thanks. It's kind of possible to do it using some of your existing tools and effects. Seems like it shouldn't be that hard...

Hi guys... I couldn't believe that there was not a single video tutorial / effect to turn a photo into an oil painting with Pixelmator Pro, but it's true! Nothing online. 😩
I mean, I'm sure it's one of the most demanded tutorials from Photoshop.

If a quick effect is not on the pipeline, could you please make a video tutorial on how to achieve this effect using the current tools?
Highly appreciated!

Love this effect, but it takes tooo much time in Photoshop. It'd be really great if there was a feature for cartoon effect in PP.
