Is it hard to do something like that to a photo?? Would I be able to do it?? (Am not briliant with comps)

not really, get a photograph, then use the pen tool too draw round the different shaded areas and just build up the layers... it takes time put it isn't hard.

What programe do you use?? Photshop?

yep

I've found it easier to open the image in Photoshop.. posterize it by 3 or 5.. and then import into Illustrator.

Photoshop is a pixel graphic package.. Illustrator uses vectors.. which imo look better for this sorta work..

It does take time like!

if you posterize it you wont be able to see the detail?

Illustrator is too advanced a program to jumps straight into, playing around with the layers and the pen tool in photoshop can be picked up much faster.

Do graphic tablets as opposed to mice help with this out of interest?

a little but not much, grpahics pads come in handy when your doing free hand drawing... vector graphics tend to use anchor points.

By posterizing the image it splits the colour sections up.

This makes it easier to higlight the correct colour sections

As long as you open the original photo then you can use the correct colours

the whole point of vector graphics is tracing round the little details, a poster effect removes the little details...

I could nock that up in 20 mins in illustrator...

have you sorted it out yet?

Not if you use enough levels..
I found it easier to identify the little colour differences using this method
