This guy claims he did all that wiht pen tool and paint bucket.... and no filters and layers...

I'd like to know how he really did it.

it's definitely possible. though i imagine he used the airbrush as well for shading and things.

Lol i'm not that pro, I need to find me a tutorial on how to do that with filters or something

Just experiment with the filters under Filter > Artistic you'll find something similar there.

thanks

if the artist used Photoshop, this is what we called "lasso tracing" or if he used Illustrator, it is called "vector tracing".. u need to learn how to use pen tool in Photoshop or Illustrator to do something like that.. NEVER use filter.. it's not a good thing to do..
