How to Trace an Image Using Photoshop
This article shows you how to take an existing cartoon or other image, and create
your own version in Photoshop that you can adapt, modify and improve for yourself!
Steps
1. Scan a cartoon, photograph or download your favorite image from the Internet
(presuming you will not be selling or distributing the resulting work). You can
use the sample below if you like, just right-click on and select "Save Picture as..."
in the popup menu that appears.

2. Make a new blank file in Photoshop (or any other image editing program that
supports Bezier curves).
3. Use 5 inches x 7 inches at 300 dpi as a good starting point for a cartoon.
4. Place the image you wish to copy on a new layer (above a white background layer).
In this example, the layer was renamed "Original image".
